During a recent stream, Riot Games’ lead champion designer, August “Riot August” Browning, revealed that reporting players too frequently in League of Legends can result in your reports being taken less seriously. According to Riot August, players who report others for trivial reasons or out of anger are easily identified and their reports are disregarded.
This approach may seem concerning considering the prevalence of toxic behavior in the game. However, ignoring reports from individuals who abuse the system ensures that legitimate reports receive the attention they deserve. Without this filtering process, Riot would be inundated with minor complaints, such as someone banning another player’s favorite champion.
It is important to note that it is unclear whether the system will punish players who genuinely use reports appropriately but have encountered multiple instances of misconduct in their recent games, forcing them to report multiple players.
In conclusion, it is crucial to use the reporting system judiciously and only when necessary. It should not be used as a tool for revenge or to address minor grievances. By doing so, players can help maintain a healthier and more positive gaming environment.
