Can't troll, fix please

So me and my buddy decide to hop on league and play normals and have a little bit of fun "trolling" by taking controversial picks. My buddy went Fiora jungle and I myself went Soraka mid. And ofc, straight from the bat my top and bot lane shit talk me and make fun of me and call me an autistic kid with "autisam" in all chat (which is expected I give it that, that didn't bother me). So I am Soraka laning against a Vlad, and I completely destroy him with harass, I am completely ungankable and synergize with my Fiora jungle buddy very well on ganks and counter ganks (keep in mind we're trying our hardest to troll by taking "troll picks". So of course as we are doing well and getting shit talked at the same time, our top and bot are feeding their asses off. Proceeding to late game me and Fiora can't do anything once top and bot reach our inhibitors and ofc we both start dying too while trying to defend our base. All the while our top and bot are still shit talking me for picking Soraka, while I was the only one with my towers still standing.

So it seems that when I try to troll, it is just completely impossible. If I try to troll I will still be the best one on my team. What is going on riot? This happens every time I duo with my buddy, we just get such brain dead teammates.. it queues us with such retards that our trolling is carrying.

I am just posting this to kinda let it out and hear you guys' opinion on this since I'm kinda bored. Is the community in this game really that bad that not even trolling is possible anymore? We just get out trolled by complete morons? Oh and, I had the most dmg on my team as Soraka. (Yasuo top Ziggs Draven bot)

Taking an off-meta pick with the intention of winning the game isn't trolling.

that's not trolling? you're playing off meta and that's completely fine. Hope you find a better group next time for goofing off.

Rather than voting up or down I would like to encourage you to post a comment here and contribute to the discussion. I would really like to have some information and to know more about this issue. Thank you.

"I don't like what they picked, so I will int" 1 hour later "OMG WHY AM I SUSPENDED AND NOT THEM, RITO PLS"

(based on actual players)

One game doesn't mean that you're always the best even when you're trolling. In your Soraka game you were much higher rated than everyone else on your team so I'd expect you to outperform them, even on something like Soraka mid. However, if we compare you to someone of equal rank on the opposite team we can see that you underperformed greatly by comparison.

Unfortunately the matchmaking system assumes you are trying to win. If you purposely troll games then your MMR will tank and you will be paired up with worse and worse people. This will make it easier and easier for you to troll but still be the most productive person on your team.

Additionally, this game may also just be random luck. With a sample size of 1 there's all sorts of room of error. If you trolled 10 games and outperformed your team in over half of them then that would be a stronger case.

Both parties have fault as far as I'm concerned.

You and your buddy could have simply stated, even if you wanted to "troll", that you were both going to try something different. By not doing so and without the 'intention' to win, you could both be reported for refusal to communicate.

Your team mates also could not have been closed minded bigots. With it simply being blind they could still play their game. This is how "OP Off Meta" can be tested and found before ranked. I would actually be curious to try Fiora JG with Bloodrazor, but would probably go bots, blind (with telling what I want to do), and more blind until I determined if it worked

I admit I would have questioned your picks, but I would also support you with a simple, "Odd, but I will choose to trust and believe in you." Then play my game.

TLDR: Mention what you want to try (even if troll.) Your team mates may be okay with it. (Like mine when I tried Rek'sai Support.)
