[Suggestion] - a minor change to the report system

Wallach··4 votes·697 views

Hey guys,

I want to talk to you about the options that we have in the report system. As of now there are seven categories to choose from in case we want/need to report some one:

  • Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
  • Verbal Abuse.
  • Leaving the Game/AFK
  • Intentional Feeding
  • Hate Speech
  • Cheating
  • Offensive/Inappropriate Summoners Name

Lately I've been finding myself playing ranked games, with people that aren't willing to play with the team at all. These guys might even be good player and wont feed or destroy your game. but, as League of Legends is a team based game, in most cases this kind of behavior will bring your team to a point of loosing the game. This kind of people wont even communicate with the rest of the team most of the time, what even strengthens the feeling of frustration. playing a 40 minute game that your going to loose because of a 4v5 team fight, or playing for 30 minute, 4v5 only to get to an impossible 5v5 at the end of the game.

At an end of this kind of a game you know a few thing:

  • That guy was the main reason for loosing the game.
  • This is the way that guy play the game and he's going to do it again.
  • The next team he's going to play with will probably loose their game too.

In this case, you would like to report this guy so he might get a warning and change his ways. Well, if we'll go back to the report system categories, there's no real category that fits the situation. This guy is not actively Assisting the enemy team, he's doing it passively, so you can't report him for Intentional Feeding. More over, he's not using a Negative/passive-aggressive chat, griefing, so you can't report him for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. As to the rest of the categories, they are irrelevant to the subject.

To sum things up, I think Riot should add a new category to the report system: Unwilling to Play With the Team.

The report system is about social behavior, i.e. being a jerk. What you describe has nothing to do with that, it's about skill. Lack of skill is already punished by losing games and it shouldn't be part of a system that is meant for social behavior only.

I disagree with you my friend, as this is clearly a social behavior issue. A person who's playing a team based game, who's knowingly and intentionally hurts his team by not helping or joining the team.

If you want an example, I played a support with and Ezreal ADC. this ADC was unwilling to leave bot lane till minute 27. he only farmed the lane ( after we won it already, and the enemy laners were roaming). the team had to play 4v5 because Ezreal was farming bot, and when he had no minions to farm, he farmed bot jungle. In minute 27 he finally came to mid lane where we were team fighting only to start farming in mid. by min 32 he started joining the fights but that was way to late.

I've got many more examples like this if you want.

As you can see it has nothing to do with the skill of the player.

You do realize buddy that if the person trolling your team loses, they couldn't give a single fuck about losing LP or their time or they wouldn't do it. We are talking about the OTHER people in the game who DO care about the LP loss or the time they wasted dealing with a retard.

Yes. But the OP is not talking about trolling but simply playing badly. And those people DO care.

An additional note: it looks like it used to be an option in the old version of the system as we can see in the riot support site.

Negative Attitude - This category is reserved for unhelpful or self-centered attitudes that go against the principles of a team-based game.
