Can you report the support for taking cs?

BrandOneTrickBOI·11/17/2018, 9:39:39 PM·2 votes·2,131 views

I just got out of a game where I was playing adc and my support for some reason began to take cs. I to,d him to stop but he replied saying I’m useless and continued to take cs. I tried to switch lanes with the Kai that was too and he switched as well. Basically I told him to stop multiple times but he wouldn’t. He still didn’t get banned even after I reported him. Why is it so hard to ban someone for inning but I get toxic report returns all the time

Yes and no.

You cannot report them for taking farm if any of the following are true:

  • It's an occasional thing, such as one of their spells accidentally killing a few minions.
  • They have item 3302 or any of its upgrades.
  • You're not in lane to take the farm or otherwise aren't reasonable able to take it.
  • The wave needs to be cleared quickly.
  • They only need a bit more gold for a complete item and are taking a reasonable number of minions so they can get the item in their next back.
  • It's otherwise strategically smart to do so for some reason not listed above, or it's incidental/accidental in some way not listed above.
  • You have said they can.

You can report them for it if all of the following are true:

  • It's a deliberate action.
  • You have explicitly asked them to stop.
  • They have continued to do so after asking them to stop.
  • The intent is to grief or otherwise harm your capabilities.
  • None of the "you cannot if" section is true.

Not really, you can report for the verbal remarks. Farm doesn't specifically belong to anyone though.

You cant report for taking farm, but you can report them for purposefully trying to grief you. The examples of this is:

  1. them saying you are useless, so they are doing it on purpose after you asked them to stop.

  2. following you around after you tried to avoid them.

What gives you the right to boss them around?

No, you can't report your lanemate for getting farm...

no. there is no rule that says each team must have an adc bot lane and that player is entitled to the cs.

it is just a thing that people usually do.

Yes. Riot won't do anything until that support is reported hundreds / thousands of times like the Singed player that was permanently leaving bot lane every game at level 2/3.

So basically if they only did it to you its not punishable. If they do it every single game (and get reported in 75% of their games) it eventually is.

It sounds like the player was 'unsportsmanlike'. Supports are not supposed to be farming their marksmans gold

  • pretty sure thats the entire point of the GoldIncome items in the game?

I would report the player as such and indicate that the player was not playing the role assigned ,causing you difficulty in performing your own role.

He was obviously trying to have a negative impact on your experience.

I can share my experiences as a support main.

If I am qued with a random ADC that is not last hitting and just missing cs left and right, I will take the farm instead of letting it go to waste.

In addition, if I am qued with a random ADC that just cannot carry and is just doing crazy stuff in the game and letting the enemy bot lane get ahead, I will mute him take the farm because it is obvious this person cannot carry and doesn't know how to use the gold.

I will do everything in my power to win, even if it means taking my ADC's cs or get a lane pushing so we can siege the first turret, kill a dragon, or allow myself to roam to help another team mate.
