That would mean the interns(computers) would have to be paid as criminal investigators. Ca$htavision doesn’t have the budget for that.

I have the same impression MacWeak.
Then i must be the wisest of all as i have recived 14 e-mails so far the past 7 months.
Funny, I only report when the report is true. I always use this feature very wisely. I never reported a lot, just when necessary.
Yet, my reports never led to anything in 4 years (:
It gets even worse when in 2 months playing league all my 4-5 reports got through and I got messages for all of them (:
Sounds like youre in actuality not reporting very wisely. The facts are there and you have your head in the sand.
This is why reports dont lead to insta ban after one. Youre not the perfect imparial judge like you think.
The 11 people that liked the post seemed to get the points i made just fine. Sounds like a you thing.

Lmao, yeah sure, I’m in the wrong here for reporting someone once in a blue moon when they say death threats to someone in chat, or when someone afks in purpose after saying in chat they are doing that, or when someone says they don’t wanna play the game anymore for no reason at all and die more than 20 times in 10 minutes, that’s all wrong 
Because 11 speaks for all of us right? Get your head out of your rear end.

But this may actually be fully true too, right? They may actually be worried about if they can sustain the kind of loss that harsher punishment would invoke (IE clamping down on smurfs).
But like, ranked restrictions were lifted in practically every way they could be. I don’t think the integrity of the mode is high on their list of priorities.
you don’t see as many silenced players now because blizzard changed their system to do outright suspensions more than silencing.
Unless, like in your example, the player specifically says so. There’s no way to tell why or how they disconnected. I can just shut down my modem. How would they know why my connection was lost?
Keep in mind that people do tons of false reports. If an afk report instantly banned you. Most players would be banned.
But they also lose players if they don’t do anything, since people won’t put up with a game full of trolls.
If they didn’t care, there would be no reporting system at all.
Most people who AFK on purpose talk a lot in chat, are usually toxic, complain a lot and then they leave on purpose.
But not only this, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to watch the replay and see someone staying behind the gate afk and just going out to get a minion so they don’t DC, then go back to behind the gate and keep doing that to force the loss.
Yes. But they are never going to go through and review all the replays.
Though if someone just leaves, there’S no way they can know why just by watching the game however.
Well, they better do something, cause more and more people are quitting because of these trolls and blizz doesn’t do anything.
I’m honestly not sure what can be done. They don’t like trolls and quitters either because it costs them players.
But I can’t think of any way to identify them.
That’s why an honor system is so important. The punishment can be bigger, but if you have a high honor you don’t get affected by it that much, but if you have a low honor you will get the full punishment.
It works well in league.

I remember it being mentioned in an AMA.
They said it was something they were thinking about doing. But then there are a lot of those.

Nah when people are calling people trash and retarded in chat, you reported, when you engage 1v5 or afk at base, you reported. Its more this happens way too much and blizzard just does not care anymore.
I think it’s because those guys are perfect for game calibration of a near 50% win rates. If you win too much i a row, they keep those pesky trolls to match with you to get you back to 50% win rates as much as possible. So your are sure to loose enough. the only way to have severals good games is trought a 5 folks party. Playing solo is a too much of an anger management therapy.
Me and many others climbed solo, and I saw many ppl with non-50% wr, so there it is, your contheo is debunked.
While I see your point, an automated system could actually deal with this issue.
Check these:
- wrote afk in chat
- afk for 5 mins
- afk in the end of the match
- got 2-3 reports for being afk
There, a system can check these and I doubt ppl would get faulty punished. Those who still get, are not fully innocent anyway, but can open a ticket to get theirs lifted.
AND I’m also against instant bans, but instant punishments? Nope. Insta leaver queue for more and more games the more often it happens (still can be automated).
Also weird necro…
