Title PS: I don't troll and I don't hate the intention to but I want to know in case somebody really annoys me and I play Bard.

Bard ult trolling is bannable, however it is very hard to catch and Riot takes in account the difficulty of using that ult.

If you throw it in the team fight some bad things happened because of it, you'll be fine.

If you throw it directly on a recalling team mate when they were safe, then yes, that will be punishable. Of course there has to be a pattern of it happening.

If you'd have to be pretty skillful at the ult if you want to make the annoying person die.

Yes, you can be punished for Griefing and Assisting the Enemy Team. Also, it's Unsportsmanlike Conduct. If someone's annoying you, take solace in the fact that it's statistically unlikely that you'll run into that player again and even if you do, you likely won't remember your prior experiences with them. It's not worth it; give every game your best.

That would be intentionally assisting the enemy team. So yeah, you would probably be at risk if it becomes something you are commonly reported for. Or if someone records it and sends it in as a support ticket. ;-)

I get reported every game for missing Bard bongs and meepin. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I don't really troll with his ult but if you mess up people will accuse you of trolling and report you anyway. System throws it out.

Of course it is. It's just incredibly difficult to prove the malicious intent most of the time.

I mean if you do it a single time in one game to kill 'that guy' then I doubt anything will happen to you. As long as there isn't a pattern of you doing it often and being reported for it you should be perfectly fine. Just make sure to throw out the 'my bad' or 'sorry' afterwards.

I troll with Bard’s R all the time. I haven’t been banned yet. However, sometimes it’s unintentionally.

So it looks like I can't make an annoying person die, oh well, I will just hope they get banned, also thanks for the responses.

Maybe if you do it a lot and get reported a lot. People can write in the report description what you are doing.

Yes, you can get banned for trolling. Whatever you feel like adding at the end of that sentence is irrelevant. You can get banned for trolling.

I'll be honest, I've had this happen before and actually honoured the Bard. He was so diligent about ulting me on cooldown it was actually funny by the end. We lost terribly, but still worth right?

Eventually, if you do it enough to establish a pattern of intentional trolling. That said, you can get away with it for a very long time.
