What is your insight on "trolling" when the game is already CLEARLY lost?

Just last game, I had wonder Challenger teammates, who only died because the Jungler (me).

Bottom lane ADC was 1-7-1 on lane, Support 1-3 (possibly was a monkey with sight problems), mid lane 0-6-0, top lane was trading 1 kill for 2 deaths and was 4-8. I was 2-3 and I just gave up and started "trolling". There was literally no point in trying to play, specially with these god tier teammates.

What do you think, is it OK to just "troll" and "have fun" when the game was already LOST.

PS: It was a normal game.

If it's normals, just play it out. It's important to see what you can do from behind. Look at the map, see what's happening, what's going on etc etc. You can have fun with it too. Shouldn't be too bad all things considering. People take every game too seriously. If you sit back and look at the whole picture, some times it can be a lot less frustrating.

the point of the game is to have fun. mostly these days i queue up for fill spots and then mess around whenever im drunk or just plain bored. if you dont have fun, whats the point of playing anyway?

sometimes you get tryhard feeders (mostly premades in my case) where teamplay is just fucked with them using discord or raidcall. so making the best out of it is the thing imma do.

Did you know that malphite can create an icy zone that covers the width of an entire lane? meanwhile he has 89% damage reduction and any xin/jax/vayne is easy 3hit kill :D

I could have sworn you were the Camille JG in my last game, but you're from EU. She never set foot outside the jg the entire game, and no I'm not exaggerating. I'm sure you ganked, but she did not. Never gave a buff either, just sat there clearing jg all game as their vi ganked us into oblivion. IT was basically a 4v5. At the end of the game, when they're in our base, she ults them and asks, "How are they so fed?" Even though we had been asking for ganks all game.

I won a game that was 4-21. Never give up; it's reportable.

Trolling is never okay. But it's not trolling to have fun. Take that as you will.

You will never get better by giving up. One of the biggest differences between low rank and high rank players is how willing they are to just quit. You get better by analyzing why you are losing and adjust your play based on it. Granted, there are times when you are just outplayed or outmatched, nothing you can do about that other than do your best to learn from how your opponents are beating you.

The fact is that most players in Bronze and Silver probably can't tell when the game is clearly lost. In normals, this might be okay but ranked is for people who want to play to win. If you decide to throw because things don't look up (to you), you shouldn't be playing in ranked.
