"Tribunal doesn't look at customs."

Sorry brochacho.

It does.

=[

It shouldn't.

In custom games you have a choice of who to play with. Tribunal should only be concerned with cleaning up matchmaking. Leave custom games to the person that creates the custom match.

i agree with that.

i like the tribunal, and i think it works fine, but you choose who you play with for customs, so it should be exempt from tribunal

the problem with custom games is that anyone can join them and play them. If someone you dont know joins the game you have been waiting for say another person or two and they decide to be jerks and troll you. You should still have the right to report them.

Just because you are in a custom game does not give you the right to be able to be a jerk to others.

And no you dont always have a "choice" of who you play with unless you only invite people and make your game private.

cant you put a password on it? or kick people before it starts? im not sure i dont play customs.

but once a game starts do you really know who is going to troll you or be jerk or not?

You can kick people before you start the match yes. But once you get to champ select you cant.

You can also password it and only play with your friends. But there are a lot of games where people want strangers to join in on their game.

Isn't that what matchmaking is for? Playing with strangers? Why even have matchmaking if this is the case?

but say you wanted to play ARAM (or another custom gametype) against your friend on the other team. You can't get this set up in normal matchmaking, it has to be done in custom, but you also need other people to play with you. Often these strangers don't say a whole lot in the lobby, and many times you'll take anyone you can get in order to get a full game. If you tried to get to know everyone in your lobby before the game so you could pick and choose who you like, you'd never get to play.

It's just being lazy then. You have access to the player's profiles, and can easily talk to them to find out what they're like, and people are free to leave the game as they please. These are the advantages of custom games, and the qualities that matchmaking lacks, which is what the tribunal is suppose to counterbalance and why it exists.

The creator of a custom game can be reported, even if his intention is creating a match where the summoner's code doesn't apply. This shouldn't be the case. Do you think otherwise?

It's my opinion that these are privatematches, and should be treated as such when it comes to the report feature, especially in the case of a game where private servers are not allowed.

Imagine if people could be reported in World of Warcraft or Everquest for vulgarity in the guilds they created by random people who have just joined the guild, and have disciplinary action taken against their account. Does that seem right?

This is more like "imagine if people could be reported for ruining your 5-man pug instance run by intentionally training mobs into the group, and you didn't have the option to kick them". Yes, you could avoid the problem by not running with a pickup group. That doesn't make it right.
