Why no punishment for players who refuse to play their assigned role?

Played a game a few days ago as Quinn jungle, our mid decided he was going to jungle instead so he picked Olaf then proceeded to counter jungle me the whole game. Said he didnt realize he got mid yet still proceeded to go through the game taking my jungle and leaving mid alone. I know for a fact at least 2 people on my team reported but based on chat log fairly sure 4/5 people on my team reported him as well as some of the enemy team, yet no message of successful punishment. I completely 100% understand that people have bad games and rage and are rude to their teammates, I;ve been there, I've had those days and I completely understand not wanting to ban someone for having a bad day. But when this kind of stuff happens I feel like that should be instant punishment. It's not fair to me to waste a minimum of 20 min of my life not being able to play the game as my role yet also not being able to just afk without receiving a punishment of my own, while this guy gets to ruin the entire game for everyone and walk away scot-free.

Also you only need one report to get the system to flag them for review; no more, no less. One is the number of reports you need. Two is too many, 3 is just out of the question.

You only recieve a punishment notification (on verbal abuse & intentional feeding offenses) if the game you reported them in was the game that punished them.

Role stealing is indeed a manual audit punishment, thus you'll never recieve any notification in that regards.

Role-stealing is just annoying. I mean, it indicates more of a desire to eff off than to purely "mix up the meta."

I just had a griefer steal my intended AD botlane, then when I went support, he proceeded to go AP midlane and feed the opposing Ahri. So we had no bot and no mid. Granted, griefer in question is not bad at the champ. He can dive and gank. He can get kills. He can teamfight.

But the behavior is malicious. That's my issue. Really, he belongs in a museum :P Ezreal

That is a punishable offense, but one that the automated system cannot detect. And someone would likely have to do that pretty often to receive any punishment.

One reason is that positions are to help you decide where to deploy if you want to play meta. If you aren't playing meta then it's meaningless. However, there is a difference between breaking meta and trolling. Manual review will catch the difference and punish

I just had a game. Sydra took support role and guess what? She didnt even build as support with no wards. End up bot is lost then late game went afk. Best she just get perma banned and uninstall the game.

Thanks for the replies but what this shouts to me is Riot: Its ok to troll and make peoples games completely unfun....as long as you don't do it REALLY REALLY often.
