Call this a rant if you want. But does the reporting features of this game actually do anything or are the buttons to report simply like that gem in the middle of the interface in D2 that did nothing?
I’m in my late 30s, been gaming since the 90s in every genre and platform there is. I’m also not someone who gets offended easily at all either - I enjoy funny insults and comebacks just as much as the next person - to a degree. I really want to like this game but seriously - this has got to be the absolute worst community I’ve ever been a part of. In almost every match, if there’s not a person throwing the game, there’s at least one if not multiple people that spend more time spewing insults, hurling racist/bigoted names, cursing, etc. than they do controlling their character. I’m not even talking your run-of-the-mill, Internet troll insults either. I’m talking about the most vile and horrible things you could imagine. Talk of raping kids, people threatening to kill each other, you name it - HotS has got it.
It’s very disappointing too, because I really want to like and enjoy this game but most of the people I’ve came across make it almost impossible to do so. I thought the LoL community was bad, but this one puts that to shame.

The Nexus is the most powerful game on Earth. And you have no idea of what is about to happen to your soul and to your mind.
And to your life.
If the report feature doesn’t work then there is no way to explain how people are getting banned.
Unless they pull random battletags out of a hat and say “that one”
i’m pretty sure it works.

But like I said in my original posting, I’m not easily offended. I’m referring to the worst of the worst type things that are being said in chat during games as well as in voice channels.
Let me be the first to graciously welcome you to HotS! Remember, go crazy in mid lane for the first fight of the game. Always do whatever your team desires, regardless of its wisdom, so you can lose the game but gain the respect of bad players! That’s how I have found deep meaning in this game. Turn team chat off? Nonsense! You’ll still get banned when they report you AFK, so always stay with the team! Unless they inexplicably tell you to go do something, then hop to it, soldier!

i meant everyone else.
If people are not playing they want you too then thats when it start getting ugly. Being kind may seem easy but hard to practice
Less of that happens the higher the rank you get. But if you enjoy that type of stuff, or hate it and refuse to change, keep playing out of ranked. The ones who know how to play the least tends to froth from the mouth the most.

Words to remember. Words to live by.
I think this is more of a MOBA-in-general issue than a HoTS issue. There is a profanity filter in settings and there is the option to mute other players. It’s probably people venting irl anger and frustration in a safe, anonymous environment. Though if they are talking about child abuse, especially of a sexual nature, maybe instead of simply reporting it you should contact blizzard directly. There is a lot of hate toward their customer service, but I would hope (at least) that they would pay more attention to issues like that.

That should be put on a plaque somewhere.

The reporting system is not to get rid of the players that break the rules stated by the company.
The reporting system is a tool for the players to get rid of the players that they want to get rid of.
Blizzard makes the games, the people that plays the games decides what is ok and what is not ok to do in the games.
If tomorrow the Broodmothers… Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Karlie Kloss, Lorde, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevigne, Kendall Jenner tell their “private” communities (Not Instagram nor Twitter, etc) that they are going to try to do something fun, just for a change, and ask the whole swarm to create an account, to do whatever they plan to do… They would do it.
Beyonce, Madonna, Ellen, Jennifer Lopez, and Oprah do not have time for games, they are Overlords.
The Blizzcon Opening Ceremony and the event is like the World Olympics.
One Party in Karazhan! was an event to gather the Wizards of the world and address the dark cloud that was approaching very fast from the distant past.

If the reporting system wasn’t working then how to explain all those topics around here about “unfair ban”? For sure it’s not a perfect report system, but at last it does its job more or less.
Not really sure what to make of most of your post.
