"Report Mid for feeding"

logic301·4/26/2017, 2:34:19 PM·19 votes·2,794 views

if I just get a champ and I bring it into normals and even say when I get into the game that I'm new to this champ, if I do bad don't spam "report so and so for feeding" in all chat every time I die. Like I know I'm bad at the champ, that's why I'm in NORMALS to learn them. I could be ruining your ranked game but I have the respect to learn a champ and practice a champ in games that mean nothing before I go into meaningful games. I can't be amazing my first couple games. I just need to get this off my chest.

If you're trying to learn a new champion and your mechanics are shit, that's fine, I don't mind that at all. I frequently play normals with champions I'm unfamiliar with.

However, if you're trying out a new champion and use that as an excuse to "forget" basic game knowledge such as "don't walk alone into unwarded areas" or "don't push your lane without having vision", I have no patience whatsoever for that shit. Just because you're playing a new champion doesn't mean you instantly forget how to play the game. Test your limits, but do so within reason.

I've had players that end up chasing Udyr blindly into the entire enemy team, then when I tell them not to get caught out, they say "bro, I never play this champ, leave me alone!". Like............I get that you're new to the champion, but that doesn't mean you're new to League of Legends itself.

I got autofilled to MID just last match, never played mid before and don't really have a mid champ I've ever played. I play Jungle/Top main, and do Supp/ADC on occasion. Figured that 4 of 5 positions is fine for queue...But nope!

Anyway, went Fizz, tried to play extremely safe but kept getting dove on by the mid Ekko and Trynd jungle. Did horrible, but was certainly not the reason my team lost...

You really ought not to be "trying" a new champ that you have never played in norms. Open a custom game and play one to see how it works, Then play a norms. I know, its only a norms game, but no one likes a feeder. By play testing your NEW champ in custom you only affect your own game.

Feeders (0/5 or worse before 15 mins) deserve to be reported unless they are up against a crazy strong smurf. I'm sorry but if you die 3 times in lane pre 10 minutes and you don't accept that you lost lane and try to keep fighting, then you don't understand the game. If you disagree with this and are bronze I don't care about your opinion cause that is literally the #1 why you are bronze, cause you don't understand what I'm saying

I don't report this in norms but I'll definitely report in ranked. I just had a game couple hours back where my team feeds a kill every 30 seconds. I reported every single one of those assholes for feeding.

Alright, you convinced me, I'l stop doing this.

Plot Twist, those reports don't change a thing. You will not get ban unless Riot is 100% you do it on purpose.

Now that there's a practice tool along with custom games and bots, there's just no reason to 'first time' a champ in normals or ranked.

While I don't report for a bad game per se, I absolutely loathe the excuse that "it's just normals".

same thing that happened to me when i tried kassadin mid for the first time. What happens? Top lane Teemo and Bot lane Xayah start roasting me about to not play kass anymore. Like i told them it was my first time kassadin at least 3 times and they just don't care.

I've had quite a few flamers in my normal games. Just ignore. As long as you are trying to win and not dying to your opponent on purpose, do whatever you want to learn the champion. However, it would be nice of you to say that you are not experienced with that champ (you did, nice!), and also maybe in game remind it and explain what happened (you got outplayed/got wrong items etc.). If after all that someone still flames you IN NORMALS, then meh... just mute.

I do this same thing any time a rework or new champ or even some new items come out. I use a system of 3 games that gets me into the groove of the new changes or champ. Play one game in custom or practice mode to just spam abilities and get used to itemization. Then you play a bot game or even right into a norms game just to feel it out a bit. If you feel confident at that point try it again in a norms draft. At that point you have at least a small understanding of the champ.

Now after this I normally still will not play them ranked until I really have tried them multiple times in normal games but I guess to each his own.

My thoughts have already been expressed in other people's comments but I'll also add this: Consider playing flex if you want to learn a new champ if you don't care about your rank there. If you do care then at least go into normal draft if it's available in your server. Normals are too much of a clown fiesta and too unfriendly to someone who wants to learn new things, at least from my experience.
