FAR TOO EASY TO ABUSE THE REPORT SYSTEM

89693129DEL1·11/12/2017, 7:28:33 PM·3 votes·796 views

I encountered very unsportsmanlike players who ignored calls then bullied in-game. In defending myself** they say I'm getting reported and getting a chat restriction**. I just got out of a suspension and I'm trying to avoid problems but people like this instigate problems then report the victims. Pure cyber-bullying and the report system seems to rule in favor of it. It is true that I could have muted but the principle is more important than that. The fact that this can even take place with complete ignorance of context and circumstance only shows to me that there is no object of fairness.

Please help me. I need to be sure that they get penalized. If I get penalized over this I'll have to expose this broken system until my dying day.

EDIT: Excellent. So apparently the community doesn't want to actually penalize the unsportsmanlike players because it "won't stop them". So why even have the system in the first place if the community agrees that it doesn't help to the point where it's more reprehensible to try to deal with toxicity and cyber-bullying than it is to actually be a toxic cyber-bully? What's with the backwards logic of this community?

No name shaming man. People have bad days and sometimes other players play for the simple enjoyment of ruining your hard work. Does it suck? YES! Does coming on here and making a point to try to get these people banished make them stop, no it won't. What you do in those cases is just work around it, don't type anything about the trolling and move on to the next match. Take the loss as a lesson and report them at the end. Gl HF.

No, you didn't defend yourself.

You went after other players, contributing to the negative atmosphere in the game. You responding does absolutely nothing, and only plays right into what trolls want to happen.

You have complete control of your actions, meaning anything you do that breaks the rules is your fault, and no one else's. As you said, you should have just muted them, and then just report after the game.

And name posting is against the board rules.

Do you think context and circumstance give you free pass to "defend" (read retaliate) yourself? If you won't mute out of some kind of principles and allow other people to tilt you, it is on you. Don't start crying "victim" afterward. If you willingly partake in the toxicity of that game, it is ON you. No context, no circumstances when you know full well a mute would had stopped all that. Man up and take some responsibilities for your actions instead of crying victim.

Your edit makes no sense with tge responses you got. If theyre trying to instigate something ignore and report them, they'll get punished.

If the answer to trolls and bullies is just to mute and ignore, why even have a system in the first place? The hypocrisy in purporting to do something about it but actually penalizing the victims who choose to stand up to it is staggering. Instigators are the only ones who should be punished, not only by Riot but by those they attempt to abuse. I only ask that a system is developed that analyzes interactions more acutely, perhaps by viewing the game itself as well as viewing chat logs.

That's all I'm bringing attention to.

You just got to recognize gas lighting. Litteral same shit you are talking about in your post happened to me. It was funny when the first quote on the chat log for me was "I don't think jazz and league mix well." Matter of fact my log only contains two profane words.
