Is it acceptable to intentionally lose and troll as long as you don't type and have fun?

I regularly deal with intentional feeders and griefers that explicitly don't type anything hostile. If anything, if they type anything, it'll be in all chat with the enemy laughing it up about their misfortunate.

By comparison, I never play to lose and am always giving it 100%. But I carry risks by being often incredibly strained under the former and telling those people to knock that shit off.

All in all, the second sort of person is much worse than the former example right?

It's not acceptable, but can take longer to catch. Simply because it's not always easy to distinguish intentionally feeding/trolling and just a bad game. They WILL get caught, and they HAVE gotten caught. The Big Piece doesn't know what he's talking about. People have actually posted here about getting banned for no reason, only for a Red to show up and say it was because they were trolling.

Well, one thing thats important to note is that how Riot intends their system to work doesn't always match the reality of it. I'm sure this board believes trolling is an automatic two week ban, but that isn't the case. I highly doubt the people here who defend Riots system have ever actually been punished by it, therefore their understanding of how it works only consists of how Riot wants them to believe it works.

Trolling is often subjective. An automated system cannot detect trolling. If someone is trolling in the way the OP described, they are not getting banned. Thats just the reality of having an automated system and Riot very rarely manually reviewing games.

The reason I could tell Gakupo has a poor understanding of the system is from the fact that he thinks because there are a handful of people who have been banned for trolling on these boards, that means they "WILL/HAVE" gotten caught. Compare that to the thousands of people who troll/int every single day, and you can see its very likely they aren't getting caught. Have you ever seen those 0% winrate Tahm Kench smurfs that troll in Bronze 5 for hundreds of games?

Maybe I shouldn't have said "they don't get caught", but rather "99% of the time they don't get caught".

Its not acceptable, but its not something that is ever caught.

Its worse but theyl never catch, i troll with bard all the time to get people killed and have never been punished. Its because riot cares more about if someone says %%%got than the actual game. I suggest you troll away.

I'ts awesome that you wanna have fun. And i am completely guilty for fooling around a bit, but at least I play well most of the time. i don't intentionally feed, or intentionally have my team lose. Because I want to win, sometimes I really don't care about winning and just want to have fun, but at least I make an effort to try to win.

It really only is acceptable if the team is completely okay with trolling, or it is pre-made and everyone's okay with it. So then you don't get people who actually take the game seriously really mad.

Trolling without saying anything hostile is still an offense to me, and should be punished as such.
