[2023] Does reporting for match throwing actually work at all?

It does! A couple things I'm reiterating from a past post:

1. Not every report results in a feedback notification. We know, these are important to folks and actually bolsters faith in the system. It's been a point of conversation, and as we continue to work on the report system, it's something that is top of mind.
2. Currently, these bans go out in batches, so it may be a short time before you see a notification. Also, notifications for language bans, AFK, match throwing, own-goaling, all display the same message so if you've reported folks for varying reasons, there isn't an easy way to tell who it was that was actioned.
   

The system works best when folks actually report, so please, continue to use the Match Throwing/Griefing option when appropriate!

Then why do I see the exact same players throwing day after day after day?

Batch banning doesn't occur on a daily basis. As the process gets refined and bans occur more regularly, hopefully there would be a reduction of seeing repeat folks
