Racism in League is still rampant

I really want to know what's being done about this type of thing. I am reporting every instance of racism, or overly aggressive chatting in game that I can but rarely if ever see a report feedback telling me that something has been done. Many of these players will be as abusive as possible in the lobby and then act like angels in game because they know the report system can't bring up lobby chat logs. I take screenshots of these types of racist offenders but I don't know where I can send them to get something done, can anyone help me with this?

I play this game almost every day and I can't even remember the last time I've seen someone being "racist" in chat, despite constantly seeing threads about it here. Does this only happen during a certain time or in a certain elo?

You mean racism exists in the world? You don't say...

RIOT says they have a zero tolerance policy but I highly doubt they understand what zero tolerance actually means because I agree, we see way to many forms of it quite frequently.

Go here: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Select the "report abusive behavior, cheating or malicious link" Give Riot these screenshots, name of the account ect.

Riot can pull logs from pregame, when you make the report just say "person was engaging in X behavior in pregame/post game lobby"

They arent really catching N word spammers from my experience. But if someone says kys they are done for. I think they need to tweak the automated system a bit.

Also dont bother sending in tiickets regarding racism. They dont have the resources in place to deal with it, the tickets are just closed with no action. I have opened numerous tickets on players spamming racist things in game with zero action taken. Sure people will claim they got a chat restriction or whatever but I have subsequently encountered the same players stating they will never be punished for racism and they continue to spam racist terms every single game.

In short, there is nothing you can do about it.

Now let me ask you: If you're an SJW that preaches all the shit they do, why do you identify by what race you are? If you truly felt that race is irrelevant and we're all human, then racists wouldn't bother you, since you're just a person rather than whatever "minority" group you were born to.

I think OP needs to look up 'rampant'

You can submit screenshots of lobby chat and submit them to Riot Support with a ticket. They can't tell you what happens because of it, but you can rest assured that they will look into it.
