Moral Question

My 'friend' was playing a match 'the other day'. He had queued up as fill, because he likes to play all positions. During champ select my 'friend' had gotten the bot lane, and declared . First pick supp picked , so my 'friend', being the fun loving gentleman that he is, offered to play supp. This offer was turned down by the . Not being a player to discourage off meta play, my 'friend' goes along with the bot lane.

Fast forward to the game itself... plays rather aggressive, and winds up going 0/9/9 in lane, and 1/9/0 for the match. This person was claiming to be new the entire time. Should my 'friend' have reported this player for feeding? He of course did not realize at the time that the was ranked silver 5, but we can leave that to the side for now.

Would you report a new player for playing poorly?

Side question...who would you have played along side a supp?

I wouldn't report a new player for playing poorly.

I wouldn't report a veteran for playing poorly.

It's best to report for int feeding when you specifically believe that they're intentionally trying to lose the game. Reporting for poor games muddies the data that the IFS uses to learn, and makes it much harder for it to detect actual intentional feeding.

I would never report any player for playing poorly, unless it's clear without doubt that they're feeding intentionally.

Second question, I certainly would be skeptical, but who am I to decide what champions other people play? I've won with, or lost against off-meta picks surprisingly often.

Feeding itself is not a punishable offense. Intentional feeding is the punsiable offense, and you have to prove without a reasonable doubt that they had the intention to loose.

Btw, I've done kog support w/ font of life and ardent censer before, main purpose is to shred defensive stats with Q and on hit. Sometimes it works, but the consistency isn't there to climb.

If you believe they are trolling or intentionally feeding, then report.

Yes I would, because off meta is fine with me. Have even done so with a zed supp

Double-DPS bot is a thing. It has been from the very earliest days of the 1-1-2-J meta. I have successfully played Teemo "support" on many occasions. Granted, the extra DPS is often better with an AP who has at least a little CC, but that isn't in any way mandatory.

While playing poorly cannot be punished, but a consistent history of feeding can be. You can report them if you feel that it was being purposely done, it's hard to find actual trolls that intentionally feed by IFS. But you can throw in a report, but I wouldn't announce the subject nor say you're going to report them in game or post-game. That will get you punished instead.

while Kog could support a bit with his E, they never do. should have just dodged.
