Why is the report system so bad in terms of the moments you are allowed to submit each type of report?

There are so many things that are awful and make no sense, I'll just list a few (and yes, I know many people are aware of this, but it would be good to get some visibility so maybe Valve can change it)

  • "Did not play selected role" is only available at the very start of the game – this basically makes it so I never use it, because I don't report people for unconventional picks. If the dude picks support sniper and plays a great support sniper, then that's completely fine. But if they steal farm, go carry items, and buy zero support items, then it should be reportable, but it's too late at this point.
  • Can't report people for griefing or feeding after the game, only during the game – this is stupid on so many levels, why wouldn't you allow a report for griefing after the game? I don't like stopping mid game to report people, so often I just forget to do it and want to do it after the game, but can't since the only options are communication and MM abuse/smurfing.
  • Can't report opponents for griefing/feeding – I don't see why this isn't allowed, people might say it would get abused but I don't see why it would be more abused than reporting teammates. People usually flame teammates way more than they flame opponents. There are situations where an opponent is clearly feeding or griefing and it sucks not being able to report them.
