People abusing the Offensive Language/Verbal Abuse report

I can confirm people are using this to trigger warnings to troll. At this point, any toxic player knows that the Offensive Language warning shows up very often.

Whenever they are unhappy with a player, they just select that option even if the player didn't harass or use offensive language.

  1. Breaking hide and seek rules (unintentionally): I played hide and seek for the first time and didn't quite know all the rules. They got mad at me and reported me for offensive language, knowing a warning would most likely trigger.
  2. Yi mid. Our trist was mad at me for taking Yi mid, and even more upset that I carried the game while she went 0/4 at bot. Reported for offensive language despite muting the entire team and not talking (99% certain I didn't say much that match other than simple commands like, "Engage")
  3. AD Blitz mid. Our trist (different one) was annoyed I was breaking meta, and even more annoyed that I was lagging and constantly disconnecting. Once again, I did not say a word (I don't talk very much in games) and still got the warning.

Ban these people who are purposely abusing the report system with the intent of trying to scare others.

I mean getting 25+ warnings in the last 4 months but never getting a ban or chat restriction tells you something.

Riot have stated many times that they do not take false reporting lightly if a person has reported you falsely and they continue to do so their reports will carry less weight eventually they will get other types of punishment however if you are receiving a pop up warning that you have been reported that most likely means that you actually said something that was offensive . If you have not received other types of punishment that means that you continuously fall back into good standing .

It's funny I break the meta almost every game I play. Leona mid. Ap blitz mid. Volibear singe bot lane. Blitz chogath bot lane. You name a meta breaker and I have prolly done it.(even done name jungle in season 5) Yet I have never not once received a pop up at all in my entire time with league.

I started in season 1 and been playing ever since. Yet I have never had a punishment or even a warning. (other then the pop up for leavebuster that time my internet died because they do the pop up on the first dc).

It is not that your breaking the meta. It is some other behavior that is causing you to be constantly reported and that is probably a toxic behavior according to most of the community.

Just for evidence. My last 10 SR games were.

Leona Illaoi Blitz illaoi Poppy blitz poppy blitz Syndra Viegar Diana mid(not meta breaking) blitz support (not meata breaking) Jinx adc (not meta breaking) Elise jungle(not meta braking) singe volibear

So I broke the meta about 6/10 games..... Yet never get a pop or anything.

Sometimes I get reported for offensive language, hate speech, etc after winning a game, even though I almost never chat and I always mute my teammates.
