So this happened.
So I was playing some ranked with a friend, trying to climb out of Elo Hell (AKA: Bronze. Because I'm a scrub.), and I get into a game with this completely toxic Nunu. I mention that a dodge might be preferable in the team select since we're up against Ashe, Karma, Vlad, Hecarim, and Ekko, he starts on immediately on calling me out with being a whimp. I look at our team comp, shrug, and go through with the game because the worst thing that's going to happen is a loss, and that's LP lost anyway, right?
Not even 10 minutes into the game, the Nunu is telling me to kill myself, calling me autistic, blaming us for feeding, all while refusing to gank lane and not sharing scuttlecrabs for my Kindred marks. (I know, Kindred ADC in ranked. Silly, but it's worked on some occasions, so I thought I'd give it a try since duo-que botlane.) He flames, he trolls, he tries to get us killed, he even straight up leaves me to Ashe and Karma when I finally clear a scuttle, telling me to enjoy death.
But, I deal through with it. I don't counter-flame. I keep trying my best, even though the game is long over, and at the end of the game, my friend and I report him for verbal abuse and trolling. And lo and behold, I FINALLY SAW THE MOST RARE SIGHT ON LEAGUE, THE NOTIFICATION THAT MY RECENT REPORT HAS LED TO ACTION! [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]
This is by far the most glorious and fulfilling moment of my 4+ years of League. All I can say to those of you who are met with similar matches, just keep your mouth shut, grit your teeth, bear through it, and maybe you, too, will be blessed with the rare sighting of the beautiful Action Banner, as I'm now calling it.
For those of you interested, here's one of the -edited- screenshots so that no one's name is visible but my own. Linky!
