Sure, we won the match... But that does not excuse the fact they forced me to play support, their assigned (autofilled) role. I've already been autofilled twice today. I didn't want to be a third time.

Griefing / Negative Attitude.

Did this happen in champion select? Riot is of the general view that any switching of roles before the game starts is voluntary. They will punish for stealing role in game, but if you willingly went support, it is on you for giving your role to them.

If you really like your role, stick with it and don't budge - even if they try to pick a non meta support. 9/10 times they'll either dodge or they'll play their assigned role, and the other time when they may actually try and steal your role in game you'll report them and they'll get punished.

This was a ranked game. The player in question had 2nd pick, i had 5th pick. I didn't want to sabotage the 3 other players in the game, so i went support.

You'd be surprised how stubborn low diamond players can be - they'd rather maintain their ego and take a full loss than go for the climb.

Hello Frontline Fury.

Even though there is not a specific category in the report section that is capable to match perfectly the criteria of your issue, I believe you should therefore report this behavior as "Negative Attitude". You should also include a description of your concern while you report a player. This will navigate more accurately Riot staff through the problem.

Thank you.

I agree with the person who said to say no and take your role anyway. If he walks to your lane and tries to play your role during the game, then report him. Obviously, his doing so could make you lose, but so would letting this troll take your role and make you play support. At least you get the sweet satisfaction of the instant feedback report that way.

Regardless, report him for griefing because he stole your role and harassment because he no doubt demanded it harshly. Also, if he walks into lane to take your role, then also report him for intentional feeding, since every one of his deaths could have been avoided had he just played his autofilled role.
