Player Report from Lobby

Has Riot ever considered a report from champ select option? I just dodged a normal game because we had a very toxic team mate. They asked to switch roles, and then banned the champion of the person they asked to switch with when they did not respond. After this, they began flaming the entire lobby for "being trash" and using third party websites to look up our rank, then trash talking that.

Finally, they locked in Shaco as ADC, took smite and ignite, and said they were going in the jungle anyway, and that I should "have fun in solo lane" as support.

So I dodged, because playing the game was clearly a bad idea for the health of everyone else in the lobby.

However, I am now sitting of a 5 minute dodge timer for removing myself from a bad situation, and have no way to report the player so that there toxic behavior is noted, and can be punished if continued.

I understand implementing an in lobby report option might be abused, but this isn't the first time this has happened to me or other players, and it certainly will not be the last.

I'd want Riot to address this scenario in some way, what does everyone else think?

Thanks, have a good day!

You're always welcome to submit a support ticket with information. They will not tell you if the player was punished, but they do take support tickets into account.

I'd recommend not dodging games. Dodging games is rude to the other 8 people in the game who had no problem playing the game, as well as the fact that the person who you think is "trolling" may in fact just have reeeeally wanted to play shaco jungle. What's better to do in this situation is to take whatever role you need to to have your team composition be decent, then report them after the game (if it's draft pick, if blind there's nothing to report for as it's not required to call/go specific roles in blind).

If it's ranked, then it's most often best to dodge and lose a small amount of LP instead of playing it out and wasting all that time and losing even more LP. Otherwise, the best way to track people who grief like this is to actually play the match out, ignore them, take the loss, and report them for griefing in the post-game lobby and explain exactly what they did. As Chermorg mentioned, you can also take screenshots and send the information to Riot Support in a ticket, but the report feature at the end of the match works far better. From my own personal experience, sending tickets to Support works better for extreme cases or things that you can't otherwise use the report feature for, like out of game harassment, death threats, posting links to porn or malware in the lobby, hate speech in the lobby that you cannot report because of a dodge, doxing, etc.
