Would you report an Intentional Feeder who started playing to win after laning phase?

I had a ranked game earlier today where my top laner was intentionally feeding, trolling mid lane and asking us to FF at 20.

My teammates were in despair feeling like there was nothing they could do but call for reports and verbally attack the feeder for ruining the game.

At around 20 mins I weighed in on the issue and told the player "This game is still winnable, so long as you start playing normally".

A short while later he started playing to win and we managed to turn the game around and succeed.

I would report them, yeah. They don't get a free pass just for having turned around and started playing properly half-way through.

I mean, if they do turn around and start playing again, cool! They may actually be able to help the team win. But I wouldn't ignore the part where they tried to help the other team win because of it.

i would cause its like, they only stopped because now there's something in it worth their time, but you should have been in it since champ select.

I would. If that's the condition for him to start playing to win, I'd rather not have him roam free.

I would (depending on how sincere I felt like their apology was).

Them helping to win should have been the goal from start to finish. That they changed their goal and your team managed to pull out a victory doesn't change that there was a period of time where they were attempting to maliciously sabotage their own team.

I always do, since a large portion of the win condition in the game today is " whoever has the worst player/inter looses". The games turn around sometimes, but most of the time if the opponents aren't terrible, they don't. Closing out games against far behind teams is easier than ever.

When I report someone, I consider if I'd want what they did THIS game in the NEXT game. If I was in that next game, would I wanna see that behavior again? Nah.
