Stealing buff camps

The report system in Lol only seems to recognize some forms of toxicity. One thing it doesn't seem to recognize is buff stealing. This hasn't been an uncommon issue for me, but earlier when I was playing a game as Graves jungle, my team's Ahri, after being quite toxic, deliberately stole a red buff from me (enemy red buff I was poaching) and then began taunting me... Now I am sick of people on my own team deliberately fucking with me. I told her I'd dive a tower if she did it again... (sometimes that works) She stole my next red buff and spam pinged it about a million times... Taunted me in chat. There is nothing I can do about this, (besides blow my challenging smite and possibly die later) and she I am sure won't be punished. This doesn't seem to ever be punished, and I have it happen all the fucking time..

You don't own the buffs. Especially, the enemy teams.

Next time, "steal" their lane farm. It is worth more than jungle farm. Don't even explain yourself in chat. Just do it.

And NEVER say you are going to "feed", "troll", etc. Even if you don't actually go through with it, Riot will use the chat log against you.

Yes it sucks to have your own team working against you. You have to make the best of a bad situation though.

Yes it is toxic she stole buff but dont threaten to feed that makes you no better than they are and when punishment gets dolled out both of you need to be punished.

It's Unsportsmanlike behavior, but it's very minor.

Still worth reporting of course, maybe the taunting could be caught and the player flagged for monitoring.

However, Intentional feeding is not the answer. It's frustrating but reporting is unlikely to be the final nail on the coffin.

You could however send a support ticket with chat screen shots etc but that takes a while to set up.
