I've played 2 games tonight and 1 player fed bad and was just pretty bad then in my second game my mid laner vel kos said either listen to me and do as i say or i'm going to charge down mid lane and feed. he went 5/14 and and fed akali yet Riot says thats ok because demanding isn't toxic???? this player was both toxic and feeding with no punishment.

Feeding is unfortunate, but everyone has bad games, and if they happen more than 50% of the time their mmr will fall to a level where their 'bad' games are still 50:50.

If they intentionally feed however, that is something that people can and do get punished for, especially if they make a habit of it. Stalking someone to try to see if they were perm banned isn't really a good plan, and also doesn't mean they weren't punished.

yeah I know people do thats why i said first guy just seemed bad but the second it is in chat "or i feed" should get a proc to the tribunal. If i called his anything for feeding he could have reported me and I would get a warning of some sort on my screen. and unless they changed it, I always got a notice when someone got punished if I was involved in the report. Did it change?

Tribunal isn't a thing these days technically, but rioters deal with stuff with the aid of fancy machine learning systems.

I believe only those in the most recent game they were reported in get a notice, and possibly only for more extreme punishments (i.e. perms). Intent feeders generally are the sort who do it in mulitple games, so your specific game might be just one game of evidence out of many, and it's possible the they ultimately got punished for a later game. (Also possible that a rioter hasn't actually gotten around to reviewing things yet.)

Theres also the possibility that despite their threat to feed, they didn't intentionally follow through, and it actually did end up being a bad game on their part. Plenty of people out there who are all talk and try to coerce people to play their way with threats along those lines with no genuine intent to feed (I think they can potentially get punished for that sort of thing too, albeit probably more minor than actual intent feeding).

Regardless, it's probably best to move on. You reported them, so riot will sort it out from there eventually if needed. People get caught up and semi-tilted in quests for justice/vengeance but it rarely does anyone good to dwell on bad things/people when theres nothing more to be done, and sometimes people will get a bit carried away and end up breaking rules themselves, as another persons misbehavior isn't a free pass.

why not listen to him

he might have had good plays but he was trying to micromanage top and bot. he rotated top and got pissed when mid turret got taken down because bot didn't rotate like he wanted.

Bot took bot turret instead of rotating to protect mid. after we took top vel and I we took mid so I don't see the point in getting mad over it and throwing a ranked game. These are bronze games not Gold+. I don't expect my team mates to make the perfect play and long as they follow when we need to group, I rely on myself to win lane and rotate. I feel best way to move up in LOW elo
