We desperately need a way to report people for pre-game

Secretly Sith··4 votes·473 views

These people waste so much time by forcing someone else to dodge because they don't want to put up with their BS for 20-40 minutes and lose LP. Riot's response seems to always have been "just report them after the game" but why should I be forced to play a game that I have no way of enjoying or winning? Secondly, sometimes they don't say anything in-game and it makes it hard to imagine they'll get penalized. I'm trying to climb back into gold and all I keep getting is games that are over before they even begin...

Just today I've seen these: Banning what you're showing Saying "I'm [your role] now. pick something else" Going Soraka jungle with cleanse and barrier Saying "I'm trying to de-rank"

There has to be a better way of dealing with these people... I don't know who hurt them but It's making it _really _ hard to enjoy this game. I know Riot doesn't want to allow people to vote to kick someone in champ select because it promotes "bullying behavior" but if you had a limited amount of votes you could use per a certain amount of games, and only have the voting allowed in solo/duo queue to prevent a 3-4 man from ganging up on someone, I think it would work.

Anyone have any other ideas?

The kicking people out even if you could only limit it to a certain number per day is not going work. Like you said, people would get bullied for being forced into a certain role or playing a certain champion.

Reports pre-game could work so that it's flag for review even should someone dodge. Not sure how much work that would be to implement however as I doubt that under the current system, League keeps any chat from games that do not actually start.

Yeah, I can understand that.

But I agree with you that they should review it regardless if someone dodges or not. My understanding of how it is now is that you can open a ticket with screenshots for people in pre- and post- game because there's no other way of Riot knowing if anything is wrong.

It could be worth it. There's two main issues though with this:

1.) Usually there's not enough chat in pre-game to actually punish someone over it as someone has to show some type of consistency (also saying "I'm going to feed" usually can't get you banned. You actually have to do it.

2.) I've done some coding but am by no means an expert. There is a likelihood that changing that big of a core of League could come with a huge cost. Not to mention you suddenly need to expand server/memory to keep the additional information. Not sure if the benefits we would get outweigh the costs.

What about stuff like this when you're in your promos...?

I don't see a problem with dodging when you encountered these trolls, but not being able to dodge because it'll count as auto loss? That's just stupid.

100% will never happen, will only cause more in game flame and instances of calling for reports, which is report-able.

Literally never will happen.

How would it cause flaming if they don't see that they've been reported? I'm not understanding.

I'm obviously not a game developer, just trying to see if there's a solution to a long-standing problem.

Assuming that "they dont see" is a huge assumption, follow me here on what will actually happen 99%

Ok so your in lobby,

Your support hovers yasuo

And something like this begins

"report support for troll" (because you must find some backup for your report) "i was just hovering" "fuck you yas support is trash" "reported" "fuck you" "etc"

At this point you have already called for a report, and effectively lost the game in lobby, solely due to the fact that a report option is available. It will literally do 5000% more harm than good.
