How many games of trolling does it take for someone to get punished

Just played a game with a Draven who raged after I got both the kills bot lane as a shen. He then refused to lane with me and started taking our junglers buffs and never grouping. When I all chat to ask for him to be reported, but then he also all chatted to say I was trolling him and to not report him. We played the whole game fighting 4v5 because he never once tried to fight with us.

I was wondering if he will get in trouble for this one game or if he has to do it multiple times?

Any info would be great.

The system for this is shit, so if he didn't run down mid, which he didn't, he will never get punished.

A single confirmed instance of trolling will result in a 14 day ban. The IFS's detection of trolls is still fairly weak. Riot doesn't want to punish people for playing poorly, and there are a lot of different metrics where people can play poorly. That said, every accurate report helps make the system better, and every false report muddies the water a little.

We see a fair bit of trolls getting banned here on the forums, but Anivia wall-trollers and int feeders (for example) will often delete their posts after clips of their games get posted. Those posters argue for being unbanned, generally being fairly persuasive about kill participation, death locations, damage contribution, CS, and all that, enough to convince a few. But, when clips are shown, they delete the posts to remove proof against them, and for the system that caught them.

That said, don't ask for reports. More reports don't do anything at all, and asking is considered negative by the IFS and enough negativity over time leads to punishment for you.

Depends on when someone at Riot decides to look into it. The automated system doesn't catch trolls, so in theory you could troll as many games as you want. Its extremely unlikely for anyone to be punished after a single game.

I have seen players that have done it for multiple seasons.

I have report so much troller... They are never punish but if you flame them then you take a 14 days ban and you are deshonor as me. So you can just troll the troller but the game is loose anyway. Rito has no solution.

Just one. I was being flamed for being "useless" in a match and called the flaming thresh a Blind Fisherman. Legit got a 10 game ban for that despite that everyone was flaming me the entire match.

One time. But their system sucks at detecting it.
