I like how trolls think they can't be spotted

If you fail at every part of a role, and show extreme misunderstanding of a champions mechanics you're a troll. Don't act like you aren't. If you aren't bronze or unranked and play as if you're one I see no reason why I shouldn't report you for assisting the enemy team.

Being bad at a game is not trolling. It's called "intentional" feeding for a reason. According to your sophistry, most players who lose their lane should be reported for assisting the enemy team. Don't talk like you've never misunderstood a champion or sucked at a role before. Everybody's gone through that period, and some are still going through that period. You just have to respect that fact.

You can tell the difference between a player having a bad game, being bad, and trolling. It's quite simple to spot.

As a newer player, I find this very offensive. I have two champions which right now, I am still learning how to run efficiently Ahri and Pantheon. When you get a new champion, you have to experiment to see what works best for you and until you do, there's nothing you can really do about your deaths.

I only use the report if it seems obvious they're trolling. Blowing sums on 'accident', constantly bad positioning, not understanding harass, not understanding basic vision/objective control. If you have gold by your name I expect you to be able to pass at least one of these tests. If you fail all of them then you're getting reported.

You're not being coherent to your original statement. That's not the point. Failing at every part of a role, and showing extreme misunderstanding of a champion's mechanics is NOT a troll as long as it isn't intentional. I do not know if you're good at this game, but if you are, you should keep in mind that not everyone can play as well as you, and that it is NOT wrong not to be as good as you.

Trolls being trolls is one thing, but reporting people because you think they belong in bronze/unranked is just harassment. I just want you to know that if you use the report function a lot, it becomes meaningless and your reports don't count. (plus, you can be banned for using the report function to harass or coerce others)

What if you suck but get carried to gold during placements? If you get reported for sucking, you'd get banned before you can lose your way back down. I

I didn't get carried to gold by placements. I carried myself from Bronze IV. I've learned the difference between tough games, and clear trolling. Trolling isn't common, but I'll spot it about 1/80 games.
