In my experience of online gaming, the people who use or threaten to use the report tool generally want to antagonise their teammates. I recently booted up DOTA2 and gave it a whirl and found myself getting mass reported for playing badly.
These systems are meant to prevent personal abuse and bullying but I find they only serve as a tool for abusers and bullies. Literally the most common first thing I hear from toxic plays is "I'm going to report you" or "everyone report <insert player's name>". If enough people report you, you can receive additional punishments as well.
I have never seen anything positive come out of these tools. And matchmaking generally has no shortage toxic players, in spite of them.
