I said once and I'll keep saying: We don't need a chat. There is no communication that a ping won't solve. Dragon? ping dragon. Baron? Ping aron. "I want to get the tower!!!"ping coming to the tower .
Using the keyboard only makes you play worse and help you tilting.
Just remove the chat.
It would be some nice input if some red came here and told us if all mute chat can be reportable. If it isn't it is my game choice. No whiny brats.
I actually stopped playing Ranked during the Summer break because I was tired of all the children. Playing at certain times of the day can help. Haven't gotten back into ranked yet since I felt the need to practice some, and don't play nearly as consistently as many others. Plus I've issues with using a bad desk that causes the blood to drain out of my arms since they're tilted up at about a 35 degree angle, makes even one game cause my hands to freeze usually (in the Winter).
It's pretty obvious you were joking when you said fun or feed. Chances are they were a group of 3-4, or just random like-minded individuals who happen to like to mess with others for their own fun, it happens. Fill or feed is basically the same thing.
They (Riot) give chat restrictions (can't chat, but you can see what others are saying), and guys like Shaclone have often moved the chat completely off screen to avoid tilting from reading annoying things people say, so it would appear there's no problem with not chatting or reading that of others.
Refusing to communicate I think is mostly things like instalocking a champion without saying anything in maybe Blind Normals, and I suppose in Ranked if the majority wanted someone else to fill a particular role? Not sure about that one. Another situation is if someone picked a role in Draft (already locked in their champion) then the next person refuses to take another role, locking in a champion for the same role as that previous player, forcing one of them to go to another lane with a likely sub-optimal champion/rune/mastery page setup.
One of the main things I've seen mentioned as being reportable is not using pings & responding to pings from teammates/not being a team player.
(INCOMING RAMBLING)
That said if someone is say, split pushing, they're not necessarily doing a bad thing (depending on at what point of the game it is, whether they'll get caught, whether they'll get anything out of it [if their gear isn't up to the task of pushing waves & towers quickly it's likely a lost cause], and whether the rest of your team will have a chance to take other objectives even if the split pusher dies/sacrifices themselves in the process), and often people who are very demanding want to team fight without seeing the potential of other strategies. If the split pusher manages to send even 1 of the enemies to get them, the enemy team now has to deal with 4 players + a tower, as long as 1 of your players doesn't get caught out of position, you may also be able to contest other objectives such as Dragon/Baron/Buffs/Enemy Towers during that split push.
Problem is if you ever say anything about what you want to try, certain people will immediately start raging about how you're messing up the whole game (even if you happen to be the only one giving the team a chance at success). At the same time that this happens, someone almost always seems to get caught out away from tower, and one (the split pusher) then may proceed to shake their head at those players, who bought into the herd mentality of someone trying their best to play the role of an "Alpha".
There are exceptions, sometimes they'll actually be careful, wait at tower, hold the siege, let 1 tower go if necessary, falling back to a second tower, allowing myself to often push down 2-3 towers, and maybe take an inhibitor in the process, or at other times, cause 1-3 of the enemies to come after me, lowering the pressure on my team substantially, giving them a fighting chance, and allowing them sometimes, if they know what they're doing & have the right items/levels/health & mana at the moment, to take other objectives.
The most annoying thing as a split pusher is when 1 or more players try to join you in the same lane, they're not helping, only (usually) getting themselves killed with their lack of escapes, when they could have been helping the rest of the team. Often they do not respond to requests to not join you. This loses games.
Sometimes risks pay off, sometimes teamfighting is a bad idea, and the one with the biggest mouth on the team isn't always right, in fact the silent ones can be the more capable/knowledgeable players who take a lot to tilt. In the end, I'd guess even players in Challenger are still learning & should probably at least sometimes try new things, especially with regards to champions they don't main (there are likely many many slight variations in strategy that you'll never know if they'll work until you try & practice them as much as anything else that seems to work, and some things might only work rarely, yet still be the optimal strategy when they do work).
TL;DR (still kinda long I guess)
Not using pings/responding to pings sounds like it's reportable.
Messing up champ select might be reportable.
Playing how you want, even if it causes the team to lose (or win), as long as losing was NOT intentional, is NOT reportable (nothing will be done about it).
If you feel someone is intentionally losing a game, feel free to report them, if they are good folk who had no ill intention, your report will never hurt them, but if it's consistent behavior over time, you'll speed along the process of them being dealt with that much faster.
ok
