User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Report people for being toxic, not playing badly./@comment-67.248.86.64-20121222203318

I'm sorry, but you don't understand the reporting tool. When you report someone for being a bad player (there are many options to choose from in reporting a player; ranging from bad behavior, inappropriate name, and poor skill level); they do not go through the same Tribunal system as players who are toxic.

When you report that a player is unskilled, then the system of matchmaking will take that into account and adjust accordingly. If that player is constantly reported for this, the system will no longer matchmake you with that player and adjust their elo.

Just because you report a player for being unskilled, doesn't mean they are going to be permamantly banned, that would be absurd. Riot's computer system takes care of the details. So if you do come across an extremely unskilled player, by all means, report them. Choose the correct tab ("Unskilled Player" tab), and go on your merry way, knowing that Riot's system will not match you with that player again.
