Recently I seen more people saying they gotten banded and to a point it scares me half to death. I been playing 2 yeas now and have A lot of time and investment into the game. I worry that I might end up getting called out for feeding, or assisting the enemy team when really I'm just plan sucking. Often any harsh words are almost always directed at myself when I admit. "Ok that was a mistake" when I follow and end up getting ganked. I even rarely report people, 'Besides bots'.

So should I be worried.

The simple test for whether or not you're in danger of being banned is a single question: Are you being a jerk to people in game? That's it. At least for behavior-related bans. I mean, bans for AFK or leaving the game should be pretty obvious.

And no, you cannot get banned for unskilled player reports. Those go to a different system. I believe that one or two here and there won't do anything, but if you get them regularly, the system may take it as a sign that you're current MMR is above your actual skill level.

Nope. Don't be a dick to other players and you're safe. If you're doing badly you'll probably get flamed a lot, so make sure you either don't respond or mute and report after game. There is literally a 0% chance of you getting banned if you do badly in games, unless you're intentionally feeding as well as constantly behaving badly throughout many games, and even then Riot/the Tribunal only seems to ban the players that have a history of being terrible people. Skill level has nothing to do with your personality in general.

It even says under the "Unskilled Player" option in Report that the player you're reporting for being unskilled cannot be punished for this. It's only supposed to affect your MMR slightly if you get enough of those reports.

No, the option is there simply for people to vent their frustrations after a game.

well I try to be the nicest person there is, as for the leave buster. Unless it decays over time I'm still afraid of that. But I rarely DC fully, I might have to Shut down to relog back in but I do. What my MMR, because I don't play teams. Frankly they scare me more. In normal's at least almost no one really cares. Most of the time.

Really its not the Unskilled play I worry about. It's being banned because of Assisting enemy team or Intestinal feeding. Because my play style is more of Assist's my team. Often I only get like 2/3 kills if im lucky and have like 6/7 deaths, But in that same game I will have 12/17 support kills.
