   You can now report direct messages from a report menu in the chat interface, and Riot can review both sides of a reported conversation.

   Player DMs have long been a gap in our reporting coverage, which has allowed bad actors to use direct messages as a place for chat toxicity with impunity. We are closing that loophole in this patch by adding a report menu directly into your chat interface. You can report and/or block a player at the same time by selecting the report button on the chat header, right-clicking the chat dialogue to summon the context menu, or from the block menu. Blocking a player means that DMs can no longer be exchanged. However, message history will persist during the same session after blocking or being blocked, so that players can no longer abuse the block function as a way to avoid being reported.

   • Once reported, we'll be able to view both sides of the conversation and take action where appropriate. All reported direct message data is handled securely and used strictly for moderation purposes. While we hope you don't have to use this feature often, this tool ensures accountability extends to all player communications in League.
