Can I really be banned for not working with my team?

So, I just had my first game with . As usual, I couldn't stay alive, but I was killing the bots with him. But the sad part is, that while I've achieved Level 15 and our Darius did his job. The rest of the team was 2 to 5 levels behind me and we lost.

How you ask? Well the bots' levels were , and 15; 14.

Ours where 10, Darius and 13 and finally was level 12

Although me and Darius intiailly went top, I wound up switiching between mid and bot to kill turrets.

As we were about to lose, I just gave up pushed the bot lane while the rest of the team tried to held base. Someone threatned to report me for not trying to save them. The end result was that I managed to got the enemto recall as I reached the Nexus turret, but we already lost.

The http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2027418544/230501071?tab=overviewin question.

Is there anyway that this could've went better?

And more importantly, can I be banned for not working with my team?

But the good news is that I was Honored for being helpful though...

Hey, you must be new :P

You can be reported for that although it usually doesn't mean much to the system unless, say, you cussed out anyone who tried to tell you to group up. The system takes stuff like that into account.

Also, Statikk Shiv is a good first item on Tryndamere. More cost efficiency.

Well in this match, I DID get reported for "offensive language" because I couldn't stay in one lane.

Seriously, why does it matter if I farm in mid with Tryndamere? Why can't Heimerdinger share an lane with anyone?

I have no idea what you are trying to write here.

But anyway, to the point: Yes, a person can be reported for not working with the team but that has nothing to do with what you are talking about here (Especially since this is a low level co-op vs AI where you are all still learning). Think more "some guy getting into an argument with his team, but instead of rage-quitting, which he would get punished for, he does nothing except wander around the map for twenty minutes", things like that.

As we were about to lose, I just gave up pushed the bot lane while the rest of the team tried to held base. Someone threatned to report me for not trying to save them. The end result was that I managed to got the enemto recall as I reached the Nexus turret, but we already lost.

If I am understanding the situation correctly from what you wrote, what you did was just fine. Having some team members defend while others try to take some foothold in the map is an acceptable strategy.

I was trying to say that at least two of us were underleveled. And my team was rather salty that I tried something off-meta

Well I gathered that, you said they were behind you in levels earlier; it just looks like there are words missing there.

I could tell you about how Heimerdinger's kit works in duo lanes but that isn't what the issue is here.

People in a lot of online games, including League*, start to get testy if the game isn't being played how it is "supposed" to be played (an issue which gets to be a real headache when players don't understand how and why that "supposed to" works, which is unfortunately common.) In low level games, players usually go 2-1-2 because having two people in longer lanes makes them easier/safer to work with and, more importantly, makes it so no one has to 1v2.
