I love you Riot, but sometimes trolls dont get punished.

Let me at least explain the story that lead to me posting this, so you dont think im one of those "LMAO FUCK RITO" people, because i'm really not and I respect riot as a company and think they do a good job.

I'm playing ranked as toplane Urgot, which i commonly do so i can play a solo lane, and my jungler forgets to bring smite because he said he was tired (First, why play ranked when you're tired?), and proceeded to stick around in my lane instead of attempting to jungle. I asked him to leave my lane, but he continued to stay in my lane. He was attacking creep which was throwing me off for CS, and stole some of it as well. He was reducing my xp by staying in lane with me while i asked him to leave many times. Finally, He feeds the enemy garen and goes to a different lane. We lost the game due to garen snowballing after the early kill, and i reported him after the game for trolling/griefing, which he very clearly was considering after asking him many times to leave my lane and stop taking my cs/xp. Nothing happened.

I feel like your automated system doesn't do the job properly. I wrote down what happened in the box and hit send report, but nothing has happened to the guy. I feel like trolling should be judged more by a human and not an automated system is all.

dude, he can't jg without smite, and the correct thing to do in that situation is go top until he gets items...

The game in question only happened a day ago. Trolling/Griefing reports most likely take a bit longer to be acted on and or reviewed. further more, as riot seems to take the stance, that they rather risk letting a few trolls slip by then punishing innocent players who were having a bad game.** The game needs to show beyond reasonable doubt to whomever or whatever reviews the game that the person was indeed trolling**. Lastly there is the frequency and severity. one minor trolling session most likely won't trigger a ban, compared to someone who makes it a habit.

In short there are many reasons why this is the case.

Also I personally find it is a much healthier mindset to report and forget. If you are in low ELO then the odds of you encountering this player again is very low due to the sheer amount of players in low ELO. All we can do is report the player, afterwords it is 100% out of our control. I feel that trying to find out rather if people you report are getting punished or not to be a waste of time. because it is hard to find out in most cases, if not impossible when it comes to chat restrictions, and as hinted before, it sometimes takes more then one act of trolling/toxic behavior to invoke a punishment. When I report someone I just put it in to the back of my mind that sometime down the road they will be punished if they keep it up. I don't need to witness the punishment.
