Reporting and Queues.

I just spent all game being trolled by a player, and reported them after the match. Then I queued up again, and it put me with the very same player.

When will we get the ability to avoid people we've reported?

I understand that the game tries to find us matches as fast as possible, but I'm MORE than willing to wait 2-3 more minutes instead of being forced to play with some one I JUST reported. It doesn't matter if the report was justified, or not, if you report some one then that means something obviously is going on between the two players (personality conflicts, misunderstandings, or just animosity), and if you've gone to the length to report them, then clearly you're not going to want to play with them.

Because of this person, I had to dodge the game instead of risking yet another loss and this person taunting his own team. So I had to give up LP, and have to wait out a dodge timer, when I'd rather just wait a few more minutes while in queue to get a team that I might work better with. Put me in the auto-filled, make me wait more time, put me on the opposing team of this person. It's my choice to report them, and I'm willing to do what it takes to avoid playing with them again.

You might think that this'll just increase queue times by 2-3 minutes, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. What happens when everone in high ELO reports the rank 1 player, and the rank one player can no longer play?

Overwatch literally had this system, and for that exact reason they had to remove it quickly. It was heavily abused. It would be the same in League.

Oh, well. Gee, if only they could do something like. Not have it affect people in certain ELO's, like Diamond 1 or higher? There are rather easy solutions for a lot of these things. You're talking about it affecting the top 1%, so how about something to help the lower 99%? You think there would be a shortage of bronzes, silvers, golds, or platinum players? And given that it's the player that's doing the reporting is the one that gets "punished" with the longer queue times, I don't see that being much of an issue in lower ELO's. Simply when it was forming teams Reportee > Reporter if a conflict arises.

Then do just that. Wait two minutes after the game before queuing and you're unlikely to be matched with him again.
