If i'm in a 5 man flex squad, and all of us are trolling, could we get banned?

a 5 man premade got banned for griefing one time when they were playing ascension and trying the "pacifist" route so probably.

This 'pacifist route' is all about keeping their enemy hostage in a match they have no way of ending until they run out of patience and surrender. These guys didn't get banned for playing some for-fun off-meta thing, they got banned for not letting their opponents play the game.

Keep it in normals. Trolling in ranked as a team kind of devalues the whole "competitive spirit" for the enemy team. Yeah, sure, they get a free win but they queued up for a serious game.

They queued up to climb

IcyPepperSep 18, 20181 votes

Then what are they doing that's defined as "trolling" then? If not feeding, are they flaming? Like, what?

"They" being the enemies

Oh, whoops. Well, your comment doesn't necessarily contradict mine.

Ranked? Most likely, if someone felt like reporting you.

Norms? More than likely not, but I'd just keep in mind that it's just my opinion. If you guys were just screwing around and all going like 0/10 as Marksmen, I can't imagine someone would report you for griefing, especially if you were all in agreement and not openly running it down mid.

Doesn't matter normal or ranked, punishments are issued the same way.

Still, more often than not, people won't report for things like that in norms. People are more uptight / serious in ranked.

I also specified that they shouldn't openly int. So basically, just playing off meta and not inting won't get you in trouble.

yeah it will just get other people to int your games and call to report you after they attempt to create some sort of situation to get you to die like feeding your lane =/

So wrong, I get reported for every little shit I said because they deserve to be called, ofc I didn't get punished cuz I wrote only once, but still, ppl are abusing "snowflake" rules.

Depends on the type of trolling you're talking about, but the basic answer, from what I've seen, is probably not if you don't report each other, and if you are banned you can appeal it on the grounds of your behavior being okay with your teammates. It won't make you immune to toxicity bans from all chat discussion, but there is precedent for bans to someone in a 5 man premade who were dicking around together being overturned.

Depends on what you define as trolling.

If you basically make the enemies waste time by just running it down and not playing, you'll get banned if the automated system detects it if an enemy reports you.

Things like playing and building stupid shit and playing Teemo jungle aren't reportable tho.

FatedSaviourSep 17, 20181 votes

this makes me wanna ask a question i always felt like doing with my friends, as a 5 man premade, what would happen if we all ran it down mid?

Meep ManSep 17, 20181 votes

I dont know. Why would you be?

Rebel Phoenix17Sep 17, 20181 votes

Assuming none of your friends are reporting, then you'd only get flagged if an enemy reports you and the system confirms it as being bannable. Certain things the community call "trolling" isnt actually reportable, so it depends on what your doing, and how much the enemy feels the need to report you "for ruining your teammates game".

Only if the enemy team reports you, this assumes you aren't reporting each other.

Full BrainSep 17, 20181 votes

If you are just using off meta picks, unusual strats, or weird builds then no but you will probably get banned if you are throwing or griefing the other team by trying to create inanely drawn out matches to make them quit or something like that.

ZaFishboneSep 17, 20181 votes

You should be banned just for asking this. You CLEARLY have a serious intent to troll others.

LMAO.

Ultimate Bravery in a 5-man versus regular peasants sounds hella fun.

SaezioSep 18, 20181 votes

I have a question regarding this (well sort of) If i "harass" my 5-man premade and none reports me from my team and I don't type in all-chat and end up getting reported by the enemy. Will the system only look in the All chat for violations since the enemy can't have been offended by my team-chat? Or will it look in both chats?
