What do you call it

When someone tip-toes the line of trolling?

Ex. Your team goes one place, they beeline the opposite. If they're near you during team fight engage, they just walk away. And they usually say very little if not nothing at all game. They just wander around the map not technically afk but not playing the game.

I don't know what to call it.

Edit: I have no idea why this got down voted--- Its a question proposed to the community. If you think I'm just trying to drag bad players through the mud thats not the idea.

Depends. Most of us call it rotating. Keeping the farm up. But refusing to team fight in general or communicate to help throughout the game, I'd call it griefing.

It's essentially greifing would it not be? They aren't helping in anyway, but acting like they are to try and fool the system!

Depending on intent, but if the purpose is to purposely loss games, I'll call it trolling.

Though it is possible that they are either good at the macro so they rotate more often, or they are just bad and they too afraid to get into fights.

Keeping farm up is one thing--- but I'm not talking about that

so far suggestions are trolling and griefing but does that really put the image of the silent type in everyone's mind? Or is it good as is?

I understand from 3rd party perspective they are difficult to differentiate but I think that's the intention-- they pretend they're playing but they don't want to give you the W for whatever reason. They act like bots. Silent to no comms. No pings. No responses to either and they don't necessarily int they just farmville all game without going for objectives or fights.
