Believe it or not, not everyone that beats you is a cheater. In fact, I rarely EVER see cheaters on Badlion, only the odd flyer in combo, and if someone beats me in ranked or unranked, I just face it! The player is probably better than me and they AREN'T cheating just because they beat me. Now for the main part of the thead. Sometimes, people indeed are cheating, so if a player is cheating, I will do /report. It is now incredibly rare to have a report answered during the fight. Why? A few arenas away a 1200 has just been demolished by a legit player, and because nobody is better than them at the game, the other player is instantly a cheater. The kid reports the legit player simply because they lost, and the moderators time is wasted trying to record a legit player. Meanwhile, a cheater is draning a 2000 rated player. The 2000 has reported the cheater, but the moderator on at the time is busy recording a legit player because some kid misguided him/her. How would I know? I was 2000 myself on my main last season, at 1950 I was drained by a 1300 cheater.

Because of this, I think there should be punishments for people consistently abusing /report. This should include limited amounts of reports for players who abuse, for example a 20 minute report cooldown.
