If humans actually read reports...

Then why do people only get penalized when a whole team or more reports someone?

The multiple report theory that people keep passing around is just a self defense mechanism to blame Riot and to dismiss the issue of their own behavior.

If you actually read the forums, you'll see some people complain that "ONE SNOWFLAKE GOT ME BANNED" and some people complain that they've been unfairly targeted by multiple people.

When Riot says one report is all it takes and people complain that one person got them banned... and then when I read the chat log of the people who claim they've been unfairly ganged up on... I believe that one report is all it takes and that multiple reports in a game don't have more weight.

That's not true. Multiple reports in the same game have no increased weight.

They dont. One report is all it takes.

There is no logical reason why number of reports would increase chances of punishment anyway, it is just an excuse people use to pretend it is not entirely their fault when they get banned.

Here's how the system works:

Receive report(s), number of report doesnt matter
Automated system reviews the reported person
Automated System assigns a toxicity score to that person (no toxicity = 0 pts)
The new toxicity is added to the existing toxicity score.
If a person passes 100 pts, they get punished.

More reports within the same game doesnt mean anything as the returned score is the same no matter how many times you ask the system. It doesnt increase the chance nor speed that someone gets punished.

The system is purposely programmed that way to prevent premades abuse.

This is also the reason why asking for reports is considered harassment and is punishable after many many games of repeated behavior.

He reads the boards.

His model is a simplification of the actual system, because his model ignores that the toxicity value is judged over time. So that clean games reduce the accumulated score.

But the model is very good for getting the basic idea across.

You hang around the boards enough, read what the reds from behavior team says, you'll get a general idea of how things work.

It is indeed a simplified version and the system is much more complexed than what I mentioned. But this is a good enough start for people whom don't understand how the system works.

It's actually really simple.

if (reports > 0) { review(); }

Doesn't matter if an entire team reports someone. One, single report flags the game for review, the rest of the reports are wasted.

Adding onto what Scuffleboard said - the IFS (Instant Feedback System) reviews a player's behavior if the amount of reports they get is any number greater than zero. It doesn't matter if you're reported nine times, or only one time - one report will flag the game for review.

You'll only get penalized if your behavior falls below the expected standard. Don't break the rules, and you'll never be punished.

You should have mentioned it was for gameplay griefing, inwhich those are manually reviewed. That typically happens after an accumulation of reports so they know there is a history.

In your specific case, hitting minions, CSing, taking xp, and feeding is NOT necessarily trolling. There has to be a clear intention that he is trying to ruin games. Since he forgot smite, he may well think that a double lane is the best solution.

Remember, having bad games and differences in gameplay strategy is NOT a punishable offense.
