Toxicity: A Push In The Right Direction
I speak personally, but I assume that there are many others in a similar position as me where when we see players being toxic, we report them, but don't feel as if anything improves because of it. Now I am not suggesting that Riot give us a message that tells us the details, but I think the player base would feel more empowered to handle the toxicity in the game if we were better informed of when our efforts bore fruit. For example, say for example the player I reported some time ago today who called me an "F" word (homophobic slur). I know riot looked into him immediately as that is one of the autotriggers for the bot. Was this player punished or soon to be? Almost certainly yes. But I will never be informed that a player that I reported was punished. The only time that happens, for some reason, is if your report was one of the ones that triggered the review itself, not any previous reports, so it feels like nothing happened, even though I know the report was impactful. I would like for Riot to implement a system that doesn't name-shame, but after a time delay (so you don't know who it was) we can see if our reports have mattered. I think I saw a post where a summon recommended a report card where we can see how many players we've helped punish, and how our account standing is. If we know how our behavior is impacting the game and how we've helped, we can better take steps to improve. Thanks so much for your time and thoughts!
