Not naming names, just curious if my afk here was justified. I'm in a normal game as jungle, this duo starts following me around stealing camps and buffs after we had an argument over a map rotation. I left after they stole my red and several camps. I can't get gold or xp, I can't scale and they aren't typing so I can't even guarantee a punishment after. How am I expected to "mute and play to win" here?
My opinion is, go "help" mid and call everyone man babies. Riot agrees that is ok to call someone man baby, or you can even tell them to sea lion somewhere else, if things get out of control ofc.
I don't think afk is justified. From my own experience as jungle Sona back in season 5, I had to deal with this shit A LOT, but I couldn't afford not being saint. So I practiced lasthits against Udyrs. That made me a better player.
If they follow you like that, you can also farm their lane.
What do you mean "justified"? It's more just a matter of what you value more. You'll get whatever punishment the system gives either way. It's just a priority issue... and you're the only judge of that.
There are a couple of things to consider here.
For your personal penalty, if you have not been making a habit of afk-ing games, 1 afk game will not even give you a warning let alone LPQ so no worries about that. If you do have high leaver meter, then getting put into LPQ may not be worth it. Personal call.
For the trolls, if you leave game, you will lose the ability to report them after match. You can probably submit a support ticket there after, but the most surefire way is to report them after match and that means endure the game.
Personally, I would play the game out maybe go practice cs-ing. I main support so my cs-ing skill is pretty weak. Every troll game I play is a practice game for when I have to play another role, but that's just me. I would play the game out and report them after match, make sure to leave a descriptive details of what happened in the comment and submit a support ticket follow up. If it gets to the point that I can't even practice cs-ing, I would just stand in a safe spot, minimize League, go watch a youtube vid and make sure to move every 3,4 minutes so the client wont' force close. Yes, I will get hit with leavebuster even doing that, but I will not lose the ability to report them after match.
Of course it is. If the game is already ruined, what there is to do?
I would submit a support ticket about the game, there's not much else you can do about it, maybe report them for griefing after the game.
I'm sorry you went through crap like that, nobody deserves that.
