I have been using the tribunal for a while now and it seems pretty good, but there is still room for improvements.

Most cases are a no brainer, someone who has been reported for 10+ games in a week where he fed/said racist remarks/ragequit is pretty ease to punish.
But a guy who has disconnected in one game and joins a 2nd game where he laggs out or disconnects and decides that his internet is not stable enough to try again, does he deserve a punished?. Because technically he has "AFK/left" 2 games in a row.

So some of the improvements that the tribunal should have is:
Bold text for the TL: DR version , reasoning in normal text.

1. Show "console messages" ( Player xxxxxx has disconnected") and so on. Makes it a lot easier to get a grasp of what happens. I would like to see everything including kills and so on.

2. Show a "ingame" timeline for the chat log. Same reasoning as above, makes it easier to understand what really happens.

3. Add a comment to the judgement. I know this will generate a lot of text that none will probably ever read but in some cases a explanation might help to give the correct punishment.

4. Add a level to the punishment, like on a scale of 3 what kind of punishment he deserves because some players really needs to be IP banned from day 1 think most of us have seen these cases.

5. A way to acquit a player from certain games. If someone has been reported for 6 games but "only" deserved to be reported for 1 or 2 games he should not receive the same punishment as the guy who made racial slurs for 11 games in a row

6. Display gametype, show kind of game it was Ranked/Co-op/normal and so on. If you have a bad net and you try to do 5 ranked games in a row and constantly dc from all of them, yeah you deserve a punish

7. Post and pre match chatlog. Dont know if its really like this but i dont think the chatlog from champion select or from the match results is in the chatlog displayed.


Other then that its great thx for a great game

Game modes and console messages....very good idea. I'm finding the infomation it's giving us to be very lacking right now...also

8. Show Summoner Level. I don't want to punish some lv5 guy for feeding just because he's new to the game. However a lv30 going 0/10/0 is probably going to be a different story.

Couldn't agree more with what has been said. I have added some stuff here from my original list here.

Some are same as above, but with a little more description:

Dropped a few spots on the list, hoping this gets at least glanced at by Riot and maybe even a comment or two on it.

I feel all of the above suggestions are very valid. A few would make a massive difference in being able to judge appropriately.

Biggest for me would be an event log (console messages / kill messages) and all players scores so that things can be properly put into perspective.

I love all the constructive ideas! I am doin' my part to try and bump this so it gets more recognition!

know what'd be really nice? replays :P

Everything OP said, do it.

+1

Higher reward.

The amount of time spent doing the Tribunal is not worth it when you could get the same amount of IP much faster just playing Coopai. I understand that people should be doing it to better the community, but honestly, nobody is going to want to do it for a long period of time without a good reward. If you keep on shortchanging the people who care, they're going to stop caring. You will scare them away, and bring in fresh meat. They will then get bored, leave, and then more fresh meat. And the only reason the fresh meat is coming in, is because they have a power complex, or are angry, and want to punish people for whatever reason.

Possible solutions?

Ranking. Based on Accuracy and Quantity, with one giving lee-way to the other.
Basically, if you have a 10% Correct:Wrong judgement ratio, then you'll be in Bracket 1, and get 10 IP per correct.
Bracket 2 - 20 IP - 15% C:W
Bracket 3 - 40 IP - 20% C:W
Bracket 4 - 60 IP - 30% C:W - Minimum of 100 Judgments.
Bracket 5 - 100 IP Correct | 10 IP Wrong - 70% C:W - Minimum of 200 Judgments - 140 of those have to be correct.

Once you reach a bracket, you can't be knocked down, especially the highest bracket. Clearly, you're doing something right if you're getting more than half of them correct. Right?

Or
Successive Reward. Snowball effect- with some safeguards from a "JUST CLICK PUNISH" mindset.
Basically, the more that you get right, in a row, the more IP you will get from each one thereafter. It's not like someone will randomly get every single one right, and if they do, then they have to be at least reading one or two games of the many the person was reported for, right?

First: 10
Second: 15 (+5)
Third: 25 (+10)
Fourth: 40 (+15)
Fifth: 60 (+20)
Sixth: 85 (+25)
Seventh: 115 (+30)
Eighth: 150 (+35)
Ninth: 200 (+50), and each correct thereafter will be 200.

Yes, 200 IP for a correct is a lot. But at that point, the Tribunal member is either extremely lucky, or they can skip law school.


Just my two cents.
