About reporting

What happens when you report someone? In my last game, I reported an Odin. After feeding, he wanted to surrender but no one wanted else to. Instead of trying to do something worth mentioning, he decided to spam [VVGN] Nice Job! for the last 20 minutes of the game, without saying a word to anyone. Of course, he then proceeded to troll in the loss screen. Afterward, he reported me... for what?

Another thing, why do people think that they can get away with reporting people because that person wanted to report them? Does Hi-Rez look at the match and see what happened or is a report just something that stacks up to a ban?

I am so sick of trolls. So ****ING SICK OF THEM. They have RUINED so many games and I'm tired of them. I can't play one game without someone trolling or harassing or being a douchebag.

I'm not really sure exactly how reports are handled, but I'm pretty sure whether action is taken or not depends on how many reports a player has piled up. If, lets say these douchebags you've been getting are being reported by your entire team and the enemies, there is a good chance this would probably raise some flags over at HiRez to look into it and take action. I have no doubt it my mind that logs are kept of every match over there, so they can look into the chat history and score timeline to see what was going on in those games.

All I can really advise is to just keep reporting them, and maybe remind your team to do the same as well to help improve the odds of action being take. More reports means more attention to the problem, and a greater chance something will be done about it.

It doesn't matter if you get reported for trolling once, but if the whole lobby reports you that is a different story. What really matters if you did more than once, if multiple (entire) lobbies report you there is a high chanse of HiRez looking into it.
