Is it reportable you feeding because the enemy laner is much higher ranked than you?

Very simple. I'm b1 and jungling. Enemy jungler is plat something. I go 0/7/5. Team flames the entire time. Team reports me for inting, griefing, and harassment (though the only time I typed anything was to tell my flaming trio queue to stfu and then muted all.) This is a normal game. Am I even reportable?

2 side notes: Why the hell am I facing a plat when I'm bronze? And it's not just because its a normal game because this kind of thing has happened in ranked. And secondly, the enemy team said they were a 5 man and seemed legitimately confused that we weren't so it makes me believe they were. Why is there a 5 man team going against a 3 man and 2 solo players? Once again don't say it because its a normal game because this has happened in ranked too.

Everything can be reported. I could send a report against you for having an A in your name. It would mean less than shit, but I could still do it.

However, feeding kills is NOT actionable, as long as you are trying to play properly. Meaning, it's highly unlikely that anyone at Riot would punish you for that.

Only behavior that feeds kills INTENTIONALLY is actionable, like running straight down mid lane without making any attempt to play properly and going 0/50/0, or vendoring everything to fill 6 slots with boots as a troll build.

It seems like there has been some really wonky matchups since the soft-reset of ranks at the end of the last season. The ideal is to try and make the teams evened up where the relative mmr would be about the same, so it's possible that yours might be relatively high for b1, or his might have been relatively low for plat, or there might have been enough of a mix with the other players to even it out.

The important thing to keep in mind is that Riot understands that people have bad matchups, and players have uneven lanes. There are going to be times where you play against someone who is higher skilled than you, and times where you play against someone that you are higher skilled than. The system is fairly cautious when it comes to addressing and punishing intentionally feeding. If you come here often, you've probably seen about 20 posts a day from people complaining about why the inters aren't punished. It's because Riot doesn't want to punish people unfairly for having bad games.

And just as an aside, I took a peek at your match history. You shouldn't have anything to worry about. Nothing in your recent match history stands out as punish-worthy. Well, nothing aside from playing Teemo [slayer-jinx-wink]

Just to clarify I wasn't in the 3 man on my team.

As the poster above me stated, feeding your enemy kills intentionally is reportable.

Bad games happen, and it is not reportable, so you shouldn't have to worry. :)
