Being 0/0/0 as Support = REPORT FOR INTENTIONAL FEEDING

Yeah, All because they didnt like my champion choice. I wanted to try a new character, and see if I could use a rengar as a support. I have had a rengar support and while I was unsure of it, in the end I was open to the possibility, to try and see if I could make it work myself. The team in NORMAL DRAFT was Not having it. (apparently Normal draft is for PROS only, No newbies/noobs allowed) Yeah so I wanted to learn How to use rengar in a form I am used to ...as a support. I like the challenge, the strategy needed to make it work

My team wasnt having it. My adc flamed me right off the bat, anytime I went in to slow or cc them, he would instead turn his rage on me (he was playing Mundo adc) and yet me Playing rengar support meant "You playing a rengar support means you are a scapegoat" And of course the rest of the team chimed in. Jax calling to "Report ren for intentional feed" despite the fact I was 0/0/0 But yeah, proves my point, Supports arent actually part of the team, arent considered anything more than something to dump all the blame on and use as a target for reports if the rest of the team needs someone to point the blame at. Proof: I took rengar as a support, tried my hardest. But despite me being 0/0/0 they still tried to report me for trolling/intentional feed.. afk when I was in the shop...whatever they could try and make fit.

Laugh or cry. This is what supports have to deal with. Not just salt. But Not even allowed to LEARN A NEW CHAMP with this community. they arent open to new ideas in the slightest.

This is what any role has to deal with should they go wildly off meta. I suspect Mundo went ADC because you went Rengar Supp, so the game didn't recognize him as the antagonist, but rather a reaction to your "antagonist" pick. Had you picked something like Janna and he went Mundo, people would've flipped twice the shit. If you take Rek'sai mid, people flip a shit. If you take Soraka jungle, people flip a shit. Take Sona top, people flip a shit. It's about being off meta.

Too many people play this game now and are indoctrinated into a meta. People believe there is only one way to play League. Now it's true Rengar support does not outperform about any other supp in the game, however it was wrong to flame you for that.

Also, it was draft. It's typically polite to keep that sort of play in blind pick normals. Normal draft is where people go to train for ranked, and having these off-meta, fun supports are not in line with the point of draft pick. I'm not saying you're not allowed to, but please understand that there is a specific normals game mode that is more in tune with what you're doing. Now don't get me wrong, should your rengar support somehow become godly, totally take him into draft and ranked. But just trying it out, that's something typically viewed under blind pick.

In terms of reports, never fear reports. I can randomly say "Report for calling me racial slurs." Are you calling me racial slurs? No? Ignore it. It's also against rules to ask for reports, labeled under harassment, so you're safe unless you are horribly toxic. There was/is no point in bringing up the fact that people flamed to report you, that was a given. Take the wrong summoner spell and salty children want you reported.

But overall, the rage came from the semi-serious atmosphere that is draft pick. Draft pick is a place where you practice ranked as it is a direct mirror of it. When I play, I dislike seeing "troll" picks. It doesn't offer a realistic portrayal of the ranked games I'm training for along with the fact that more often than not, the picks fail. I'd strongly urge you to practice fun builds/roles in blind pick where no one really gives a flying fuck. Even new champs should typically be practiced in blind pick. Draft is really meant to be the "Just about ranked" stage.

And please don't say "I can play whatever mode I want however I want." Understand that although that may be true, that logic goes for a lot of things. There's a time and place for everything, along with the coulds and shoulds. You'll get a lot less grief if you follow the basic logic of the game modes.

Also, the flaming was wrong. However ADC Mundo is an equally fair pick as Support Rengar is. The fact that he went ADC Mundo is perfectly fine, the fact that he raged at you was not. Make sure you understand this. Kind of unclear what your stance on that was in your post, so don't take this as me accusing you of hypocrisy.
