Is this bannable?

Picking an off meta support (like Ryze) and instantly clearing waves of cs from your adc. Now, I think this can be considered griefing and assisting the enemy team. As an adc, there is no beating a Ryze in wave clear unless you're playing sivir who has equally good wave clear, just not as early.

What this is essentially doing is starving out a core member of the team and rendering them completely useless for a huge duration of the game. Now, as an adc, if you go an off-meta support that requires kills I have 0, absolutely no problems with you going off the wall getting them kills... but if you starting chugging on kills and cs that's basically telling me I'm not needed in the game. I'm just wondering, would a report do any sort of justification for this?

The only thing I see that would amount to any kind of drawback to this action would be griefing. You're not playing the role that you said you would play, therefore you're hindering your team by taking away more than your fair share of the pie.

Oh, and this ISN'T a rant because this happened to me. This happened to the adc on the opposite team and they ended up afking after like 10minutes of sitting at 12 farm. I felt sorry and didn't report them, but reported the Ryze instead. I decided to let leavebuster handle the adc afk. Just doesn't seem fair to sit down through a game like that and I sympathized with the other adc.

TL;DR

Is taking cs and officially starving out your adc after accepting the support role a bannable offense? If it isn't, should it be?

Was it blind pick? If he was actually given the role of support I'd say ya he's reportable but just because someone goes bot lane and isn't adc, doesn't necessarily mean he's support.

It's not assisting enemy team if he uses the gold well to gain objectives and kills. It might be griefing, though if that 'support' also is getting you kills... I mean, junglers taxing a lane isn't a bannable offense either, so a support getting you kills and taking CS seems like a gray area to me.

It's the most common form of griefing from the support role, more than straightforward intentional feeding. Usually when it is done, a meta support (usually a 'fake' type support pick aka Ring Mage) is picked as to prevent suspicion of being a griefer and often by someone who performs well with the CS. This means mid game and late game it looks like the ADC is bad while the griefer is good in the terms of KDA.

  • They push the wave in dangerously
  • Do not do anything to aid the ADC.
  • When the ADC dies they experience deny them by waveclearing.

I hate supports who take adc's farm. Or even touch the minions since it interrupts adc's farming. That's like the first thing you should learn as a support - don't touch farm. Few thing are worse and more frustrating in Lol than this.

Good point with reporting them for assisting an enemy team... I never knew what I should report them for.
