"CHILLOUT Ashe, he's new..."

I had a doozy of a loss to griefing yesterday and wanted to throw it to the boards and see what you guys think.

I was in a normal draft mode game as Ashe ADC. I had a Brand support. Great I thought, Brand's kit works well with Ashe.

So at about 3 minutes in we got ganked early by the enemy jungler, Amumu. We both got away that time. So I made sure to ward the river. Brand is nuking and we are chunking them down and I get a kill, nice.

So we back and get items and go back to lane. Bam we get ganked again by Amumu. Brand dies this time. So l lay off and let them push.

My ward totem is now on CD and I note that Brand still has both his wards so I ask him to ward the river when he gets back. Nothing. He just stands at the turret. Whatever, I farm a little more and now we are pushing toward the middle. I ask again "Yo Brand, can you pls ward the river?" I ping his totem too.

Then suddenly both my top and jungle teammates, Nasus and WW, are like "CHILLOUT Ashe, he's new". I think to myself oh great these guys are premade.

So I ask in chat "he doesn't know what a ward is?" And both of them say no..... hmmm.

So then as I'm perplexed the Brand starts inting. And meanwhile we are now being full on camped by Amumu. Brand begins to legitimately play like he is new and chases past the wave and gets caught out again and again. I die a couple of times too. And the enemy bot is now fed.

I get frustrated and leave lane and farm the wolves and now WW is telling everyone in /all chat to report me because I am taking his jungle. So I mute him and go mid to the other non-premade player -- a Zoe who is chill.

Long story short we lose at minute 21 or so. Brand never spoke in chat at all. I am guessing he was on a headset with the Nasus and WW.

I don't buy the story that the Brand was new and doesn't know what wards are. I honestly think they were griefing games and having a laugh at whoever got stuck with the Brand support.

I was so frustrated I put in a support ticket after the game and Riot said they will look into it, but jeez. That was a new level of trolling I haven't seen before.

The worst is that I felt handicapped because all three of them were against me and seemingly reported me too (luckily I am very careful about my chat and the false reports didn't do anything).

So yeah... look out for premade teams with players who supposedly are new and have no idea what wards are.
