The Tribunal is a system introduced in May 2011 by Riot Games to help discipline players and keep the community in check with the help of their peers.
What it does[ | ]
When a summoner logs into the Tribunal, they are assigned a case to review. This case includes another summoner who has been reported, for any number of reasons, on multiple occasions. The summoner reviewing the case is given chat logs, game statistics, and report details to help them decide if the offending summoner should be punished or pardoned. A summoner can also skip a case if they are unsure or uncomfortable choosing a verdict. Unlike when it first began, the Tribunal no longer gives out I.P.
Who can participate[ | ]
Any summoner that is level 20 (Formerly 30) who isn't currently banned can participate in reviewing Tribunal cases. A summoner can review up to 20 cases a day. Summoners receive a Justice Rating based on how often their votes coincide with the majority vote on cases. On the contrary, if a player repeatedly votes against the majority, they will lose the access to the Tribunal. This system is used to encourage players to read thoroughly their assigned cases, instead of blindly punishing people.
Punishable offenses[ | ]
The following actions are violations of the Summoner's Code and considered punishable offences:
- Explicit use of hate terms, racial slurs, cultural epithets, etc.
- Players who deliberately and viciously insult other players.
- Repeatedly negative, nonconstructive attitudes.
- Players whose teasing crosses the line, and who persist after being asked repeatedly to stop.
- Deliberately disruptive gameplay, such as intentional feeding or otherwise assisting the enemy team.
- Offensive summoner names.
- Honor trading.
It is important to note that occasionally having bad games is not considered a punishable offense, but it is possible to receive suspensions if deemed appropriate by a riot customer service representative as stated in the Tribunal FAQ.
Punishments[ | ]
When a summoner's case receives a certain number of "punish" votes, (a number not divulged by Riot) they receive a punishment intending to deter this behavior from happening again. Possible punishments include a warning, suspension, name change, or in severe cases, permanent banning. The Tribunal automatically assigns some low-level penalties to players, such as e-mail warnings. More severe cases, however, are reviewed and assigned punishments manually by Player Support. Punishment is not influenced in any way by the number of votes. Under special circumstances, Riot Games can even veto the verdict of the Tribunal.

Tribunal Mechanics[ | ]
- The Tribunal cannot issue permanent bans. When a player accumulates enough temporary suspensions, they are escalated to special Player Support team which reviews the player's behavior and determines if a permanent ban is warranted. [2]
- In the online Tribunal case review, a random sampling of games in which the subject player has been reported is displayed. [3]
- It takes hundreds of reports over dozens of games for a player to end up in the Tribunal. Not all games are displayed for Tribunal judges. [4] The average player has 20-40 reports per 2000 games. [5]
- Ratio of games to reports is included in the formula that determines if a player ends up in the Tribunal. [6]
- If a player is suspended by the Tribunal, cases that occurred before the suspension are no longer counted for purposes of sending the player to the Tribunal again. [7][8]
- Players who receive a warning from the Tribunal have their honor scores reset and their honor badges removed. [9] [10]
- There is a method to discourage voters from spamming the Punish button. [11]
- Players who are repeatedly sent to the Tribunal, but are pardoned, have their accounts flagged for manual review. Rioters that review cases have access to more informational than Tribunal judges, such as pre and post game chat logs. [12]
- Players who have been punished will have their 'Ban level' go down over time if they do not incur further infractions. [13]
Planned Features[ | ]
A number of features have been planned in the future to enhance the Tribunal system.
- Inclusion of pre and post game chat (such as the champion select and victory/defeat screens)
- Inclusion of whether players in the game were a part of a premade group or not.
