Patch 9.22 notes

I'm gonna call bullshit on this right here. I have reported people for being racist in game, and I have kept tabs on them and they have been playing non stop since the report. I have also sent screen shots to Riot and Riot Support on twitter, and yet they are still there. Meanwhile, when the Tribunal was up, I was constantly getting feedback from all the people that I had helped get banned. We have to police ourselves, because the people that should be policing the community are more or less not doing their job all the time.

I agree with this. The automated system bans people for saying a cuss word. It can be as harmless as "Shit". if someone is trolling and reports you. The automated system doesn't read convos. It scans for keywords and bans. I have been victim of this. When I was banned for calling someone annoying. That person reported me and the automated system sent a chat dialogue of what was said. The only thing in that dialogue was calling a player annoying. Then muting them. It resulted in a 10 game chat ban.

I’ve seen friends be banned for some truly pointless comments. I’ve also seen players that have done far worse escape with no punishment. My friend has been banned for saying and I quote “you’re living in a different reality if you think Renekton is OP” I’ve been banned for telling a Zoe who was legit intentionally feeding to “shut up and play the game instead of whining in all chat”. Frankly I really don’t care about words in a game that’s what the mute function is for. Outside of racial and homophobic slurs people shouldn’t be banned for things they say. Too often people abuse reports to ban people that they want banned because they lost in lane. The fact of the matter is the current system doesn’t work and is pseudo random in how it operates.

Only people who haven't actually participated in the Tribunal, don't know why Riot never brought it back. I've had the report accuracy of 98% and i've been there judging games on a daily basis, up to my daily limit imposed by the Tribunal itself. At one point, i've taken notice that started judging reports that were months old, which means that there existed a bottleneck where there wasn't enough people doing the work or people just spammed reports left and right and there wasn't enough people to keep up the pace.

All in all, many people literally never bothered doing this when Riot axed the IP rewards per correct case because people were just pressing "Punish" in order to expedite the free IP process and were correct the majority of the time because everyone else did the same.

The Tribunal wasn't accurate and letting others police themselves had very big downsides. That's why it was replaced by an automated system that can keep up pace with the reports and remain consistent in the verdicts.

That being said, if the system is struggling to catch some cases of "under the radar" griefing, these cases can easily be sent to the players via the trimmed down Tribunal and left for the masses to judge - according to their language and all. This feedback can then be used to train the system to better recognize these griefing attempts.

i mean the tribunal never really got to see someone's match history and only dealt with what was said in the chat logs

He's talking about being a victim though, that implies a certain level of intent on the part of the other person.

You very clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes. They are S tier adc's. Their play rate is still some of the highest though and they have skill checks in their kits/playstyles that unfortunately not all adc players who are using them utilize properly. Win rate is not an end-all-be-all indication of a good or bad champion.
