Is lying about an innevitable remake so you can cheese first blood considered cheating?

Enemy cried for almost a minute about how jhin was afk and they didn't feel like waiting for remake vote, queueing up for another game, etc. Jhin of course remained silent. Nothing's going on except mids are dancing. We leash our jg just for the heck of it and go bot. Support is only one around and he starts emoting to us and not attacking so we do the same which is when enemy (including jhin, excluding galio) rolls up behind us and kills us for first blood. I know it's our fault to some extent for falling for it but I feel like a tactic like that which doesn't rely on any sort of game skill or tactics should be considered uncouth but not sure what riot's stance on the matter is. Is it worth sending a ticket in?

So long, you and your 'insightful' comments won't be missed.

Nope, that's a good and legal strategy. The whole game is about outplaying and out thinking your opponent, which is what they did

If that were all it was cheating with programs would be allowed. There are restrictions put upon your means by which you may obtain that victory.

This does not involve third-party programs, thus it is not cheating.

It's a pretty rude thing to do, but it's still legitimate. It's the same as baiting the enemy laner by recalling so they go in just to get ganked. Don't get me wrong, I'd be mad if this happened to me, but it's not anything worth reporting. Turn off all chat next time

I'm aware of baiting with a back but that's different in that it is part of the game's "common sense." Someone backs -> They have to stay still if they're going to get health mana and items.

someone says something in chat about a remake -> If true game is over and no point in taking kills or anything because no reward is given to the "winners. "

Like I said man, it's still a super rude thing to do, but ultimately not against the rules, as you are choosing to listen to them. A long time ago, I knew of a guy who would msg you right before he ganked so that he could catch you off guard while you were typing a response. Rude and unsportsmanlike, but still within the rules as you are choosing to react to it. Ultimately, play to win every game, even if it's going to be a remake. Worst case scenario, focus on your csing and last hitting while being safe at you maximum aa range. Even if the game ends in 2.5 minutes, might as well devote your time to improving yourself
