Is going AFK is a 4v5 reportable?

Our ADC stated at the beginning she is unable to play due to poor FPS so she disconnects. Our mid laner dies 3 times in seven minutes and decides he wants to "open mid" so he goes AFK. He then states that the deaths were intentional to speed up the process. I wanted to report the mid laner (and I did) but everyone was saying that it's not reportable since it's a 4v5 and he was not obligated to play in this situation. Who was right in this situation?

The rest of my team was feeding too, so it's possible the game was unwinnable from the start.

Reportable? Yes, it's still intentionally feeding/going afk as it seems like your team didn't agree to open mid.

Will something happen? No, most likely not.

You're supposed to keep playing, and trying to put an effort in winning, or at least, not throwing the match until the match is over. Whether it's a surrender, defeat, or pulling off the upset 4v5 win.

Yes, the player calling for open lane trying to force a defeat can be reported, as well as intentionally feeding and afking themselves. The rules still apply, regardless of the situation.

thats honestly a grey area I wouldn't want to fight a 4v5

The adc and midlaner were wrong technically, but I probably wouldn't report either one

It doesn't matter if its reportable or not as leaving/afking punishments are automated without needing any reports.

I wouldn't report the ADC, as they have a real reason into leaving... However, LeaverBuster is pretty much automated, so the ADC would end up with a penalty no matter what.

I'd report the mid laner though, as they said they intentionally fed and then AFKed.
