Reported for having a bad game (new player)

Hi, I got a question, can you get banned for having a bad game once? So I was playing ranked with a friend (bronze 1, started playing league 2-3 months ago and I'm currently lvl 47) I went Talon in the mid-lane like I usually do and this time it didn't go as well as usual and I ended up going 1-5-1. My first death was due to a gank and the second was due to gragas playing very well. The rest of my death were either me doing bad plays (still learning the game and I do mistakes sometimes, for example I jumped over the wall thinking there was only master yi but ended facing 4 people ._.) or simply dying in team fights. Towards the end of the game, the ADC and the Jungler (who was 1-6-1) started flaming me and saying that they were going to report me for feeding and inting. And in the end game lobby the jungler kept saying how trash I was and telling me to stay in bronze. Could I get banned because of false reports or am I just being anxious for no reasons?

I'm sorry if my english was bad, I'm a native french speaker and thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi! Welcome to the boards :)

To answer your question, you will never be punished for having a bad game, unless you are “having a bad game” intentionally to lose. Riot takes many steps to confirm that players were intentionally doing things to screw the game over before they actually issue punishments.

No what the hell , you are still new , even the best players like Faker can have bad games , don't worry and make sure to mute everyone who flames

No. We all have bad games. Try and mute people if their comments are getting in the way of you concentrating.

Level 47, not new player. Also only way to get banned is for being repeatedly toxic, you can run it down in games and never get banned unless you do it on stream.

Nah you’re fine. I personally would recommend waiting until you have a better handle on the game before playing ranked though, I wish someone would have given me that advice when I first started playing ranked well before I should have been

Your good man.

Make use of mute and report, though. Dont fall into the flame-them-back trap.

Good luck in ranked!

No, and that's never been the case. Riot openly believes that sometimes people fucking suck and they shouldn't be punished for it.

You can't get banned for a bad game, but do not play ranked games until you get better at the game, or you'll end up on the iron elo hell.
