[2021] Now that Riot is going to ban people from rank if they're chatbanned, expect more false reports.

False reports are definitely top of mind for us and we have pro actively taken steps here. When we announced that we were going to restrict comm banned players from ranked we saw that a lot of you had the concern that people may try and abuse the system to get other players banned from rank. That behavior is definitely not okay with us, so we enacted many changes behind the scenes and safe guards to prevent folks from 'gaming the system,' to get others banned.

While we aren't going to share the exact math and rule set that leads to a comm bans (that could potentially help folks trying to game the system), with the new changes we've put in it will be extremely challenging to gang up or target a specific player in any way for a chat ban. If somehow you feel you were unfairly comm banned you can reach out to player support, however with the number of protections put in place we think this will be extremely hard to do and very unlikely.

We will keep a close eye on these changes looking at your feedback, along with our data, and make further changes if needed.

Also good to note that there seems to be a common misconception of the process reports go through before a comms ban is even administered. There is no case in which a player will get comms banned through a spam of unverified reports from a single game.

Doesn’t Riot inform you now if a person you reported has been banned? My 5 stack party and I have reported lots of toxic people in game as a instant 5x report, and I have yet to receive any updates on getting a single person banned or afflicted by any restrictions. It doesn’t seem like it’s a low threshold- you probably need multiple games to get banned. It’d be ridiculous to give bans for 3-4 reports lmao, and I’m sure they’ve thought of this.
