How to Report and Ban Players in Atinad: A Step-by-Step Guide
Playing custom games like Dota LoD on Atinad is highly competitive, but encountering toxic players, intentional feeders, or griefers can completely ruin the experience. Fortunately, Atinad features a built-in reporting system to punish disruptive behavior.
If you want to know exactly how to report and successfully ban a player in Atinad, here is everything you need to know about how the system works and the steps you must follow.
How the Atinad Report System Works
Before jumping into the steps, it is vital to understand the platform's specific rules regarding reports:
- Team-Only Reports: You can only report players from your own team. You cannot report opponents.
- Limited Reports: Your reports are not unlimited. The system rewards accurate reports:
- If the player gets banned: Your report token is instantly refunded, allowing you to report someone else in your very next match.
- If the player is NOT banned: Your report option will be locked, and you will need to play 1 to 3 matches to recover the ability to report again.
- The Ban Requirement: A single report usually won't suffice. For a player to receive an automatic ban, it generally requires a collective effort (multiple members of your team reporting the same disruptive player).
Step-by-Step: How to Report a Player in Atinad
The window of opportunity to penalize a toxic player is very short. Follow these steps immediately after your match ends:
Step 1: Head to the Post-Game Statistics
As soon as the match concludes, go straight to the game statistics screen (where you see levels, membership types, points earned, etc.). Look for the red text indicating the "Vote" section. This is where you can recommend good teammates or report bad ones.
Step 2: Submit the Report
Locate the ally you wish to penalize and click on the Warning Icon ⚠️ next to their name. A confirmation pop-up will appear with the following message:
"Are you sure you want report this player for disruptive gameplay?"
Click "Yes" to confirm.
Step 3: Beat the 60-Second Timer (Crucial!)
You must complete the reporting process within 1 minute (60 seconds) after the game ends. If you take too long or leave the screen, you will be met with this error message:
"Voting time has ended, you only had 60 seconds to vote player."
Step 4: Verify Your Report
If you followed the steps correctly within the time limit, the warning icon will change color, indicating that your vote has been successfully registered by the system.
How Do You Know If the Player Was Banned?
If the majority of your allies joined you in reporting the disruptive player, Atinad's automated system will take immediate action. You will receive an official confirmation notification stating:
"The <<username>> account that you reported has been successfully banned."
By using your reports wisely, you help keep the Atinad community clean, competitive, and fun for everyone. Make sure to coordinate with your team right before the ancient falls so everyone is ready to vote!
