How does the Report system work now?

How exactly does the report system work now? I sometimes get notifications telling me that someone has been punished (I've had a few recently since season finished), but I was just in a game where I didn't play well, i apologized even though we all lost our lanes, and our top laner out of nowhere when they near our nexus says:

"Report Talon he told me to get Cancer" & "Talon I gave your Mother CPR so i could burn the s**t alive".

I genuinely felt / feel sick that people can be so horrible over this game and i know the "its the internet" comments will be said but what is wrong with people who will say something like that to a stranger over this game? Can you imagine what their family / partners would say if they found this information out?

So what exactly happens once i've submitted my report? Does it still go to players to review oir does someone at Riot look at it? I hope for the community's sake that if keywords are spotted a human gets to manually punish people like this.

Sorry for going on, i'm genuinely shocked this is still a thing. I'm no saint but i have changed my negative ways because games are meant to be fun!

Happy playing all.

Reports simply flag that person's match to be checked for whatever they were reported for. When a player has received too many reports in too few games, those reports will be checked. If their behavior is found to be consistently or extremely negative they will be punished according to the frequency and severity and what punishments they've received before.

When your report triggers this review and they are punished you may receive that notification that a player was punished. If you don't get the notification, that doesn't mean your report was inaccurate or they'll get away with it; as long as you report appropriately they will count towards their case if they are reviewed and punished in the future.

If someone falsely reports, the report does not hurt you, and they will lose report weight. The system is designed entirely around throwing out false reports, so as long as you aren't being a negative player you don't have to worry about them threatening you with reports; that in itself is reportable too.

No, not at all, the report system is based on number of reports and only that. If you get reported 20 times in a couple of days, your account receives a chat ban, how do i know? I just got a 14 day suspension for calling intentionally feeding teammates bad. Nothing more than that, im not an asshole, im not gonna tell them to kill themselves or get cancer, i never attack them directly, got 14 day suspended because people are babies and will defend someone whos 1-10 in the first 10 minutes of the game. The report system is bugged, and needs to be put back to a tribunal. Bans happen instantly, they arent checked, there is no context to the situation, it takes your logs and only your logs, no chat from any of your team, its instant based on how many reports in the last (however long).

Categorically false, and I will back up my claims with Riot references.

Wrong. The system checks for offending behavior when reviewing a case.

If you get reported 20 times in a couple of days, your account receives a chat ban

Only if you were committing chat offenses. False reports will not hurt you.

how do i know? I just got a 14 day suspension for calling intentionally feeding teammates bad

Calling players bad is negative behavior whether they are trolling or not. You are not solving the problem by doing that, you are making it worse, which is why it is punishable regardless of why you're doing it.

got 14 day suspended because people are babies

You were punished for your behavior, not theirs. A 14 day ban is the 3rd in the 4-tier punishment system, so you worked your way up to that through multiple prior punishments and didn't learn, and/or were being extremely toxic.

Bans happen instantly, they arent checked

The system does its check within 15 minutes. The Tribunal took months, meaning toxic players continued ruining games for a very long time, and players did not judge cases the same way consistently. The IFS is actually much more efficient and even more accurate than the Tribunal ever was. A reintroduction of a Tribunal would be to accentuate the IFS for fringe cases, not replace it.

there is no context to the situation, it takes your logs and only your logs, no chat from any of your team

Nobody else's behavior justifies negative behavior on your part. Blaming them for your actions is childish, please try and take responsibility for your own behavior. They will be judged based on the frequency and severity of their actions, and you for yours.


Anything else?

The system does its checks? Its an automated system, takes 0 context of anything else that happened in the game. And it does justify it, because people can report you for anything and get banned. Why do you think there have been a massive influx of appeals since the start of this year? I got chat banned for having a friendly banter with someone about the game state, and i called a champion that someone picked on my team bad, i laughed when i saw that in the chat logs, i was astonished. That was the only game on the chat logs, i know countless people who get suspended for simply not saying anything in game because you can be reported for not communicating. So now we are essentially forced to say what they want us to say. Am i supposed to tell someone whos going 0-12 in lane that they are doing so damn well, and they deserve a medal? No im gonna tell them they are playing like shit and they need to pull it together. And you want to know what the saddest part about that is? I cant even say that, because apparently this game is full of children and cant take any form of criticism.

Further proof of it being based on number of reports and only that, none of the accounts in my last game got punished, yet all 5 on the enemy team were extremely toxic, more than what i have gotten 14 day suspended for, towards one of my teammates for just playing poorly...So dont give me this PR crap from riot, its obvious its an automated system that bases only on number of reports, nobody looks at them, it is a system, and a very flawed one at that. You want even more proof? A singed main got banned for picking singed support and not building sightstone, why? Because his teammates were triggered by his pick and reported him... HE DID NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING AGAINST TOS! That is how flawed this system is, oh and btw, you know what Riot told him? That he has to build a sightstone as support, and they dont control bans.

Personally ive been playing voice chat games for the longest time, tilt is not something that happens after you are 1-10 and being flamed for it, you are long past tilt at that point because you are already playing like total trash. People need to man up and accept what little banter comes their way, its very few and far between that someone actually tells someone to kill themselves, or tells someone to uninstall, or that they are utter trash, i see that so rare, and its the only thing i will report. And honestly, no part of the TOS is broken by telling someone to stop making stupid decisions, or trying to explain why their decision was bad.

Its not that i dont think toxicity should be punished, its that i think toxicity (the word) has been warped to serve insecurity. It used to be if someone went really overboard, now its anything negative ever, and that is just wrong. League has really become this childish that you cant even negatively criticize someone for a massive mistake they made when they are trying to blame the team for it... This is why it needs to be in the hands of Rioters themselves, and not in the hands of the people. They can hold true to TOS, the automated system doesnt care about that.

One last thing, the last few chat bans i have had, they have been over telling someone they made a bad play, if people cant even accept that kind of criticism, why do they play? I didnt realize that riots system completely negated the fact that you can only be banned by a breach of TOS, yeah, every account that has ever been banned 14 days or permabanned for toxicity is unfairly banned, because they didnt breach TOS unless they were racist or told someone to kill themselves. How can you defend a system that doesnt even follow the game's rules? The system should only ban in those two circumstances, because those are the only times where someone cant just click mute and forget about it, those are personal attacks. What happened to the days where you could have a bit of negative banter between teammates... League is the only game in creation that bans accounts for being slightly negative, and that is why the game is going downhill fast.

? You never posted any kind of evidence, so idk what you mean by "further". The only proof required is your chat logs. Show that you were not negative.

"...what is wrong with people that they will say something like that to a stranger over this game?"

The same thing that's wrong with people that they'll say something like that to a stranger over anything. People say that just to offend you, man. You gotta realize that... ever seen YouTube comment section? People don't say it because you wronged them or because you deserve it. They just wanna feel that sweet feeling in their tummy that they get when they offend someone. It's like the same as bullying in k-12 school. I don't get it, but it makes some people feel good.
