Can people be reported for claiming to be high in game?

I get people like this from time to time. We all know the type. Says they're high (probably never touched the Devil's Lettuce once in their life), don't try to win (wouldn't care if it was normals, but don't do this in ranked please), and then get toxic when people get mad at them.

If players are responsible to make sure their devices work and will be punished if they leave a game due to their PC stopping (I know it gives you chances, but you still get a strike and an LP loss) then why aren't players responsible to play with a normal state of mind?

I have zero issues reporting someone who claims this AND their play in game backs it up. Especially if it's a ranked game. Out if all my games there have only been two times where someone typed that and their play backed it up. I reported, but not sure if they were punished or not.

If it's not relevant to the game then keep it to yourself.

Intentional feeding is reportable, however being high isn't.

Sounds like you want people to be punished for something unrelated to game...makes sense

I mean you can report them, but I dont think anything will come of it. Unless they are legit inting, i dont see how you can punish people for something they do off game. Even if it affects their performance. Unless they are inting. Furthermore, you can always ask support.

I mean, I play stoned all the time, I feel like it doesn't effect my performance adversely at all. Now, like you said, these people are more than likely not stoned and are just saying it to either seem "cool" or "hip" or as an excuse for poor performance in game...

I mean, you're free to report a player for doing something like this, ultimately it's down to Riot whether it is a punishable offense or not.

Imo, if Riot started to see an inflammation of people reporting others for this kind of behavior they may actually decide to punish for it...

Not unless they are playing really badly like just feeding over and over. There are many things that affect state of mind: diet, sleep, mood. Lack of sleep can mess up your motor skills and reflexes far more than getting high can. I personally wouldn't play drunk, but as long as they're not drinking too much it shouldn't drastically affect their performance.

Harder to enforce. Also people sometimes brag about that shit because they think it makes them look kool. With a K. Because it's the fucking 90s with the Burger King Kids Klub.

You heard me.

I mean, you can just report them if they feed or be toxic. If they do none of that and you're just mad at them cause they aren't carrying you hard enough, then you're being toxic.
