A question about the report system.

What if i dont say a single word in all chat, i flame in my team's chat, noone from my team reports me/gets offended, but an opponent reports me for flaming ? is it gonna be a valid report ? Does the system see who reported you and what chat to investigate ? i doubt it. But there you go. you get an undeserved valid report.

If you flamed your team's chat the whole time, then the report is valid and deserved regardless of who sent it.

Seriously, just don't be a toxic asshole. That way you don't even need to worry about these types of questions. Not complicated. :/

but if i was 5 man premade and we find it fun to flame in chat each other ? noone is offended or toxic. were just having fun. we dont deserve reports.

I get where you're coming from, but in that case just use Skype or Curse Voice or something. That way you don't have to use the in-game chat AT ALL. Thus eliminating that risk from the equation entirely. Riot has stated time and time again what is and is not acceptable for the in-game chat. If you put something in the chat logs that was reportable and got reported, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

thus eliminate that risk ? so im supposed to be afraid to express myself and have fun with friends because of this machine bot system ? if this is what actually happens then this system needs change. And i dont have to blame myself. The idea behind punishments is that you get punished for offending, insulting and creating a negative environment for other players in your games, not for doing these things to an imaginary player that does not even exist in the game.

I really don't know how it would handle that situation. In theory it probably shouldn't punish you if no one could see your chat that reported you. That said, you are still doing something that is not allowed and it isn't unreasonable to think that the behavior isn't exclusive to those 5man premade games.

So what is your question, exactly?

You don't have to ask a question, you can also just prompt a discussion through a statement.

(His thread title indicated that he had a question, and I wasn't sure what it was.)

Honestly, I'm not sure where it stands right now. I know that Riot is aware of the issue because, if memory serves correctly, one of the very few overturned permabans was a situation like the one you're describing, but I might be mistaken about that so maybe someone else can shed some light on it.
