Intentionally screwing over teamates?

Recently had an aram where an Anivia was doing OK kda wise, attacking enemies, running from danger, using ult, stunning enemies, ect.... but every time they used their wall it was like they were intentionally trying to get our teamates killed. Like, literally every single time they walled either nearly got them killed or did get them along with others of us killed too. It wasn't even that they walled to stop an enemy chase, but they'd wall at just the right place to cut off any escape for us, anivia's allies. We couldn't really go in for an all out fight cause we knew if we did, if the fight went bad and we tried to leave, a wall would screw us over.

Examples: Ryze went in for a stun, went to walk back to us, Anivia walled and turns what what would have been an easy in and out into a near death for Ryze. The Xayah went in for a kill, went to leave, a wall prevented their escape and got them killed. Xayah and I (illaoi) went in for two kills, suddenly a wall behind us to stop us from getting away from the enemy team. We lived, but lost significantly more health because of it. Riven went in for a kill, didn't get it and went to back out, a wall popped up and stopped them from escaping, getting her killed. Many more events like those happened over the course of the game. Needless to say, we lost.

But the reason it was so confusing was because aside from the walls, they were an ok player, not good, not terrible. I'm not sure if they were trolling, really hated us for some reason, was a very good/bad bot, or what it was. But because it was pretty much every single wall, there's no way it wasn't intentional. But... how would you report something like this? Would you even report it? They themselves were not intentionally feeding, it's just like they were constantly trying to get the rest of us killed.

Theres no actual proof that she was doing it to be cheeky. If she did it and then laughed or spammed and emote then yes. If not then its just uncanny.

Just like real life criminals. Trolls who actually use their brains and be subtle about it most likely will get away with it no matter how many reports you sent. Just like real life, some career criminals do get away with their blatant crimes. There is no perfect system that will catch ALL offenders.

You should get the replay and submit in a hard ticket to riot

Anivia's indicator is not the easiest to rely on. There are times where the indicator was nowhere near one of my allies, but he still got stuck in the wall, he wasn't actually touching it visually but still got stuck in it. Plus the range you can cast it from is pretty low, so sometimes it gets cast a lot later than you intended. Which can result in you casting it behind them when you meant to place it in front of them. There's also a lot of planning to make sure enemies can't just flash over it, in which case would screw you over if they placed the wall 'correctly'.

I also think there are some trolls lately who will intentionally cause you to die, but in more subtle ways. I had a teammate last game who would run away every time one of our teammates got focused, not help them, not poke, just run away back behind turret every time. Actually I see this a lot, I don't understand it why you wouldn't take the opportunity to poke and instead go back behind turret? These players ended with decent looking KDAs, but it didn't reflect how I actually saw them doing in game. They were decent otherwise, but whenever one of our teammates got focus it's like they just immediately run far away as possible.

I don't think they are bots but it's possible, I usually recognize bots in ARAM but I also believe there are some higher quality ones that aren't that easy to detect. I've definitely seen some bots that are really good at cs'ing, but they suck at aiming any skills and won't engage the enemy, play extremely safe and end with scores of low involvement, like 1/1/5 in a game that was 50 to 40. Of course if you report these bots an outsider looking in will think they aren't because they didn't exactly feed, except for letting the enemy have an easy game with one less player to worry about.
