Just because you're 7/2 doesn't mean you're not griefing

NOTE: I had the exact same post in general discussion but this is player behavior related, so here it is.

Had a Nasus in my last game (ranked). He won lane against a vayne (great!) but for the rest of the game refused to listen to pings/chat and decided to farm ALL my camps plus any empty lanes away from any action just to get to 1000 stacks. This resulted in multiple lost teamfights near enemy base because we thought Nasus was coming but he suddenly detours into enemy jungle to farm blue buff.

There really needs to be some kind of punishment for this kind of behavior. He obviously wasn't trying to win and had some other goal in mind.

Instead of saying "Nasus wasn't with us in teamfights" you need to take a step back and realize that in fact it was you that wasn't in teamfights with Nasus. Why would you engage or be in a position to get engaged on when you have a teammate halfway across the map.

I think we should learn to thicken our skin rather than jump to getting revenge on each other. Winning the game is what we all want, so rather than assume a players position is incorrect, be humble enough to assume you misinterpreted their position. Agree to disagree and at the very least, you'll have an understanding.

(Though I agree behavior is more bannable than what a person says short of freedom of speech harassment clauses)

If they are deliberately refusing to help you win, they should be banned. That is not to say that there cannot be different play styles, of course. But griefing does include refusing to try to win the game.
