I wonder if Riot Games will punish people who verbally abuse players who aren't playing well or if they even record voice chat for moderation purposes

@shaderphantom Last I heard, they weren't even including out-of-game chat in the moderation logs passed on when you reported people. In-game only. Nor were they including any kind of actual play data from reports inside games.

So you could feed, throw games, do really awful crap, and verbally abuse people in pre-match and post-match, as long as you were nice in chat during the game. None of it could be detected.

So no. I don't think so.

@trysdyn I'm talking specifically about Valorant since team voice is basically mandatory and is a major abuse vector. Like, surely they're keeping voice recordings during the match.

@shaderphantom Oh right that exists now, heh >_>

But yeah I have like... negative faith in Riot's ability to moderate :(
