Is not purchasing a sightstone a reportable offense?

Just like the title says, I just finished a match as support

which I DID purchase a sight-stone after a couple items, right before I purchased it however I have a duo group start flaming me and saying they'll report me for not buying a sight-stone. One of the enemy team players joined in saying reported for no sightstone.. ?

So is this a real reportable offense?

Thanks.

No. NEVER.

Play how you like, and enjoy your game. Not building a certain item, or getting a certain mastery or anything else is NOT REPORTABLE!

Good luck and enjoy Leauge!

I'ma get down voted for saying this. I hate when my support gets sightstone, and then is useless in lane.

WARDS DO NOT STOP GANKS WHEN THE JUNGLER HAS 350 (base) MS AND LOTS OF MOBILITY.

I think junglers should be the ones buying the warding smite upgrade.

WARDS DON'T HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T USE THE MINIMAP.

I can't stress the highlighted points enough.

It's not.

Sightstone is a good support item but it isn't a must buy. Some supports skip the sightstone all together and go for more damage items. They just pool into control wards and red trinkets because the red trinkets can technically cover a bigger area.

A riot staff member has said to the highest Singed that played support, that since he got "Smite" instead exhaust and/or heal and since he did NOT get a sightstone that he would be banned. So technically it is bannable, but it shouldnt be.

It's a tactical decision.

90% of the time it's always best to buy sightstone. And the other 10% is debated among players every day.

At the end of the day, as long as you tried your best (and that means swallowing your pride and buying it if it becomes a necessity) it's fine.

I was perm banned for playing Kat support with a 65% win rate last season. Rito will ban you for anything
