@BalladalidilaAI detects sabotage based upon the number of reports for that itself. So while they may have a clean account not being reported often then you have 4-10 people report for sabotage then the system "may" be able to flag the account for that concern.
Speculation mind you but i do know that those reports help a crap ton when it does come to the tos teams reviewing the account. Always use it even if you feel its useless.
Just to give a example Respawn has a discord for cheaters where you can post actual videos of it. They openly tell you that you always need to use the in game report system even over their discord posts because it is data they must see and if the data is not there then there is a chance the person who is reported may walk away free and clear due to no data matching up to the speculation.
The pessimist in me says those report categories are mostly there to provide a false sense of being heard and seen by the devs, i.e to vent rage so to speak. But yeah; hopefully are those reportsnot leading straight to the trash bin. Hopefully, it at least collects data to be used for something useful, like detecting behavior certain patterns so they can design the game to avoid those in map-, legend, ability design etc.
But I personally doubt it can lead to direct punishment. I've never heard anyone being punished for report categories like sabotage and it seems very risky to let player reports be the "evidence" to punish people. I mean, a solo Q player could be falsely reported for "sabotage" in 9/10 matches with premade duos since premade duos blame the solo Q for everything hehe.
