AFK Farming Jungle a bannable offense?

So, i was playing a Blind match where I picked fill and eventually got jungle. As I didn't have any champions, I picked Xin. I am not really used to playing someone like Xin so I am really terrible at him. Rather than feeding my ass off ganking people, I just decided to farm until I got 6. They didn't have a Jungler so I went in their jungle getting 4 manned and twice in my own jungle. Making me the good ol' 0/4 Xin player. #MorgOP. Anyways, nobody had a problem till then. Until, this Ahri comes to Blue and tries to take it. I was already behind. Like, really really behind so I just smited it. boi, worst decision of my life. She tilted 180 degrees and went on full Spam ping mode. "yep reporting xin and cait for int and toxic"

But what can you do, I was 0/4 and she was 7/0 so I didn't have any space to say anything anyways.

Now, she's carrying the game and Flaming me for every single mistake I make. eventually, (Guess he was her premade) renekton joined in the Spam ping competition. Dies mid, getting 4 manned near the Blue side Raptors. I guess it was kinda douche of me to just do Raptors near while he was getting anal raped but I wasn't gonna suicide in a 1v4. Another bad decision.

renekton: "report xin" me: "Why?" ren: "farming jungle" me: "not a bannable offense" ren: "you suck at a lv 13 game" me: "you're being toxic" ren: "shut up and farm" "12 year old kid" me: "still being toxic" "Now that's bannable" ren: "shut up x2" me: "STILL being toxic" ren: "shut up x3"

Ahri: "report xin - int and toxic" ren: "reporting xin toxic and feed"

Wait, how did it come to this? I just wanted to ask if Farming jungle until you became strong enough to shit on people was a offense. I can see why it's annoying but that was the only choice I had. If I'd come anywhere near the Front line, i'd get stunned and eventually destroyed.

Sorry if this seems a bit rammbly. I wrote this in a hurry and didn't re-read it for shit

No it's not reportable, just mute them and keep practicing :)

Yes, it is reportable( whether something actually happens to them is a different story). I mean if a singed support and double jungle nunu can get banned then anything can get a player banned if they cause their teammates "distress".

From a gameplay perspective, it was a bad idea to take blue from an Ahri that was way ahead. At 0/4, and, by your own admission, way behind, you're probably not going to make much of a difference to the game regardless of what you do, so the best thing to do at that point is to enable your team-mates to carry you. In this case, by allowing Ahri to take blue. Also, if you're that far behind, make sure to build full tank, so as to encourage the enemy to waste their abilities on trying to kill you, rather than one of your carries. Just remember, you don't always need to be the hero - sometimes you need to be the Robin to your team-mate's Batman.

Also, that you got '4 manned' in their jungle and your jungle, speaks of poor map awareness on your part. Especially when you're in the enemy jungle, you really really need to watch the minimap. If they ain't visible, they might be anywhere, or if they disappear from vision, they could be heading your way. Like, enemy raptors should be an easy steal - but make sure Ahri is nearby to help you if necessary. Enemy blue/gromp is also a viable target if who-ever your laners are have theirs pushed in, but you need to be ready to bug out if the enemy laners on that side disappear from view. The other camps are trickier, you need to make sure all enemies are visible if you want to go for them. Also, place wards to help you see if the enemy is coming for you.

Finally, if you're not comfortable with jungle, consider picking up Warwick. He's cheap to buy, easy to play, and has solid sustain in jungle. He's got potential to snowball if he gets ahead, and if behind, can still Q or R dive the back-line with E up for big disruption potential that your team mates can exploit. That, and a bruiser build - which is standard for WW - is pretty forgiving of mistakes.

All that said, it was smart of you to recognize the potential of the enemy not having a jungler, the only issue is, you needed to be smarter about exploiting it.

From a reality perspective, I would assume it's actually quite hard to play League at all whilst away from your keyboard >.<.

I really wish people would stop misusing this acronym in this way.

Nah farming isn't a bannable offence, I've been on both sides of games like those and sorry for the asshats.
