If you report a troll. But they are trolling in a way that's sneaky enough to not get caught by the bot. Does it lower report weight? examples would include. Intentionally feeding. But then playing normal after theyre not worth gold. Baiting allies into dying. Nosurrender trolling. Pretending to just be bad. Ect.
Other examples would include premades surrendering right before you can win. Deliberately wiping the team in clutch moments. Delay of game when winning. Ping spamming for no reason. Picking adc soraka with smite but pretending to try
How would any of this be bannable? If this were the case, riot would have to start permabanning acutually bad players. And also ban their accounts for not following the meta.
If they started doing either of those things I'd personally see to riot's downfall.
If they're actually trolling, odds are they aren't doing it in just that single game. If I had to guess, I'd say the system puts suspected trolls on a sort of probation, tracking them over a number of games to see if they continue getting reported before going back and confirming or tossing the first report based on the long-term observations.
If the system does work this way, then your report weight should not be affected until/unless the report is eventually validated or written off.
This is just guessing, of course; I have no idea what the system does to differentiate between intentional trolling or just a bad couple of games.
