@Rayfield It literally uses jury duty language.
The first case I got was some retard mass reporting Lone Druid for just not playing that well in a very low level game. He was dewarding actively after the first rax fell, so I know he wasn't just trying to throw.
Second game was a Marci who did 'feed' but not really because they were trying to, they just sucked. She died 10 times in a 45 minute game and sometimes that happens even when you're really trying my best, lol.

@Rayfield Third case is a Bounty Hunter who completely shit on a Dark Willow. I am 100% convinced that Dark Willow just reported BH every time he killed her in a 3 shot combo.
Fourth game is the strangest one so far. It's also different. I am only given a few minutes of the game entire of an entire replay, and I am told that multiple players got reported but to only focus on Bounty. This time it's for Scripting/Hacking and it's a really strange gameplay footage where it looks like the entire Radiant is hiding off-map, and the Dire are using flying couriers to scan the treelines looking for them. Bounty gets reported after killing a QoP hiding in trees. They're also low level and smoke ganking as 5. The second timestamp is all 5 Radiant dying in the trees behind Dire's T1 safeline. REALLY bizarre reports.
I am forced to assume that this was a 5v5 ranked, one team was throwing to artificially drop their rank, and they were reporting the entire enemy team every time they decided to hunt them down in trees instead of just finishing at 10 minutes in.

@Dicer @Alex1488 I was also a participant in the Tribunal. There were several factors to how this played out.
The Tribunal worked by presenting chatlogs and asking, "is this abusive language?" The idea was that a player would give his genuine opinion and that would resolve the issue.
However, in practice, you received in-game rewards for participating, and, crucially, you were ranked by how often your guess fell in line with popular opinion. You would not be rewarded if your guesses were incorrect, and you actually had a running tally of your correct guesses in a row, which would reset should you fall out of line with even a single popular opinion.
It also had the unintended consequence of sparking social media content around actual tribunal logs. Some were completely hilariously or so insanely and unnecessarily vile that it shocked you. This was a 'bad look' and I am convinced it is the primary reason they dropped the Tribunal.
This is the likely future of Justice. You're entitled to a jury of your peers, but your jury is going to vote based on how they think people want the outcome to be (i.e. with Floyd where they were afraid of riots).

@Alex1488 @josh League of legends used to have this, 2 years after it launched but quickly it was failure because ''successful'' verdicts, meaning you chose the result most people chose, gave you in-game currency, so people just said guilty all the time in order to get money.
Then after they removed that, because so few people were doing it, they closed it and then just focused on chat AI to monitor shit.
Riot Games is one of the pioneers of the social media control schemes you saw happen, entire generations of kids think that saying nigger is worse than murder, because in their favourite video game, feeding the enemy team 25 kills is not as banable as saying gamer words.

@CecilMcFly I can just ignore it but obviously I am a man ready to accept the call of duty and land on the shores of Russia like it's a modern D-Day.
