I had an attack speed nautilus jungle, which I'm totally cool with. However, he decided to afk farm and never gank during the whole game. When me and another guy asked ppl to report him for trolling and afk farming he called it flaming.

Is it flaming?

It is a very mild form of toxicity. You won't ever get punished for doing it once, but it is something that's punishable if it's a trend.

Here's why: The system is built on investigating reported games. If you report someone during a game, it is flagged. If four other people report the person as well, the system ignores those reports since the game is already flagged.

Just report, multiple reports from a game counts as one anyway.... Atleast that is what people on this board led me to believe.

Just spam the report and hopefully you land a big fish and get that sweet notification. 😂 😂

The severity is not that high, but it still is flaming.

Someone isn't playing properly or working as a team.

If you criticize this... even though as a team player you should be asking these questions. Yep. Still harassment. ( Even though it should not be )

Asking, Lobbying, or threatening reports on players (report X for...., We will report X if you report Y...., Do X or we will report you....) all counts under escalating punishment, Riot has stated it falls under "harrassment" and is a punishable offence. Riots do not stack (the 9x report myth), and riots are supposed to be done in SILENCE.

Begging, lobbying, or trying to coerce other players to "Report X" is seen as Dogpiling, starting a witchhunt against another player. So best not to do it. If I see people lobbying for reports, and begging "Report X..." I generally report that person, NOT the target they are trying to dogpile me onto"

If its blatent enough, both teams will see it and agree, But its not your job to dogpile onto other players. 1 report = 9 reports, Do it in silence.

Everything you type in LoL can be considered flaming. So yes, it is :D

By Riot's definition it is.

I think the severity of the toxicity depends on when you asked for these reports. To me it's very different if you've asked sometime towards the middle or beginning of the game and it's creating a negative environment compared to asking for reports after the game is already over. Although, it might be seen as the same by the automatic report system.

"Just report, multiple reports from a game counts as one anyway.... Atleast that is what people on this board led me to believe."

I don't agree with this or think it works like this at all.

Asking/rallying for reports can count as harassment, and it's generally not needed since 1 report = 9 (moreover, any number of reports greater than zero trigger a review), so, generally speaking, yeah, you kinda did.

For future reference, don't rally for reports. It's pointless - more reports don't increase the odds of someone getting punished. Just report them yourself after game.

Calling for reports is in itself report-able.
