Is this acceptable for honor 5s?

I faced a Annie player on normal and she got honor 5 but man, the BMs is tilting everyone on the team. She does the "?" or ask "What are you doing?" every time we made an mistake and it just not sportsmanship. She didn't say anything like "You guys suck, terrible, bla bla bla" none of that but she is clearly taunting us in a very negative way. I don't think she deserves a punishment but is this really acceptable for a honor 5 player? Muted her but when the game ended, we can't mute Annie at the lobby... she saids "Not sure what were you guys doing this game xD" than leaves. It's not a fun experience... As long as you're not saying any hateful words like "kill yourself, you suck, you're so bad" than you're safe from bming this heavily?

This is a video game, not a safe space. If question marks or people asking what you are doing trigger you, then you should probably find something else to do or play with a 5 man if you can't handle skeptical team mates. I honestly don't know what riot's policy on it is though. They might agree with you and ban this kind of thing, who knows?

The problem is that even if she's creating a negative environment for you she might actually be a good player, if she makes good plays and choices chances are she will get honored as long as she didn't say/do anything to annoy all the members of her team. This will mean she is classed as honor 5 because people don't always place their honor on people based on what they said in chat but how they play in game.

Depending on how bad they posted these things and how negative they were you can actually report them for a negative attitude.

Asking why you are doing things may be because you are in fact doing something that isn't smart. Watch that match and look for things that happened. I thought this once about a match but when i rewatched it i noticed that i was in fact doing some stupid things like one time i chased a player into the enemy jungle because i was greedy while top was mia. It was not a wise decision.

Don't assume that it's automatically BM'ing because they are questioning what you're doing. The ? crap at most can be considered passive aggressiveness and we know how much riot likes that.

It really depends on what she says. Tilting is a tactic for some, but not part of the Summoner's Code. It says "Enjoy the game, but not at their expense". If it's an ongoing thing and it's ruining their experience and finds it toxic, then report them for a review. I for one have never reported them for doing so, I normally mute them as soon as I find it unnecessary. I simply don't give them that advantage. Like I said, it really depends on what they say.

It is acceptable. If you make a mistake, they have a right to question it, correct it for later on. "Great job guys" is a comment deserved for appropriate plays. "stop diving what are you doing" means exactly that. Correct the mistakes and improve.

If I make a bad play, I don't expect my teammates to coddle me, and try in the future to avoid the same mistakes.

The ? mark spam can be considered odd cause I know people like to ping/spam the MIA thing on purpose when you mess up or called a MIA but they didn't notice. Hell even in chat. shrugs And just because it's a video game Doom Bot Talon, doesn't mean squat.
