Tribunal Update

Riot has changed and added some things to the Tribunal, the system that League of Legends uses to report and ban players ( Peer-to-Peer based system).

This new feature to the Tribunal is part of a long-time ongoing "experiment" aimed at increasing voting accuracy (which Riot has been struggling with, and trying to get fixed since the Tribunal came out) and providing players with feedback about their voting record and effectiveness ( % accuracy to the final decision, comments, etc). After taking a look at some of the initial results, the Tribunal does seem to be more accurate, by about 10%, than when it started. Apparently Riot decided to listen to community feedback, since players have been complaining about this problem since the start as well, and realized there is room for improvement in the Tribunal Review System. The following bullet list is what Riot says they plan to do soon to increase the Tribunal's accuracy. I would summarize it, but some of it is vague and will likely be better understood after the changed come out.

• Adjusted “accuracy” and “streaks” in the Justice Review to be more precise.
• Player Justice Ratings have been reset to 1200. Recent Tribunal voters may have an initial Justice Rating.
• Fixed issues where some punished players would not receive notifications or Reform Cards. We’ve retroactively sent emails to these players.
• Innocent players were very rarely banned, while toxic players more often went unpunished. Because of this, we’ve adjusted the Tribunal algorithms to be less lenient.
