Gracefully Trolled

Ok guys this is something that has been bothering me for the last couple years of dabbling in league play. Whenever I get the itch to start playing again and start to climb my way from the depths of wood 5,I get to my provisionals. But then, wait, what's that? A troll who locked in sona jungle after a jg was picked first pick? I'm not worried about flamers or toxic players , the mute button does wonders there . I'm talking about the people who's match history show countless games of repeated trolling. Now I'm not saying that sona can't be jungled, but the act of locking in a jg when our jg was picked three picks ago is kinda troll. When asked if anyone has any prefs, no answer from this person. I lose lp because of this and in the depths of mmr hell this happens a bunch along with afk, and intentional feeders. My question is, has riot made mention of any reconciliation tactics for those who are robbed of lp because a 12 year old knew it was his bed time but he pressed lock in anyways and then his mom makes him leave the game? I love this game, I spend outrageous amounts of money on this game! I just want to feel like my hard earned money is being used to find a solution to this problem. Other than this it's an amazing game RIOT! So if anyone has a thread that's helpful plz comment!

This happens at every stage of the game. I was in promos to get into Platinum 3 and our last pick picks a 2nd jungler, and instead of counter jungling and preventing the enemy jungler from getting farmed, he farms the other half of my jungle to prevent me from getting farmed.

If the guy is "consistently trolling" like that then he's rated in the appropriate ranking for his skill level WHILE doing that. AKA he's as good with sona jungler as you are with your meta pick. Playing an account purely with stuff like jungle sona is actually detrimental to no ones play. It only becomes a problem when someone does it irregularly which means they will be playing at a level far above or below those around them at any given time.

TL;DR Guy that plays only jungle sona is legit, guy that plays half lee sin half sona isn't. (unless AP Lee)

Didn't know Trolling had a graceful stat. That 12 yr old is a sure promise.
