So Riot does not allow words that have "swear" words...

or clubs, summoner names or anything. Even if I want to name my rune page as "Assassin". In fact they punish toxic players hardest. But I don't know what is there stance on inting or trolling. I had to play with a player today. First he was in my queue. He got the jg role. Banned our top laner's tryndamere and went Soraka jgl tilting my top laner. Fortunately, a kind soul dodged that game.Next queue, he wasn't in my team but was in my match. Went Soraka support but instead of going bot he went top and fed my top laner. In fact, this is not the first time has done this. Look at the proof that I have http://imgur.com/a/5GpGH http://imgur.com/a/JN6ey http://imgur.com/a/BVwcQ http://imgur.com/a/kLkVP (my prev queue) Just look at his builds.Even if he was a brand new player (which he isn't), the item shop suggests the best items for that champion. He went AD SORAKA and AP MF. It's just obvious he does not care and is not at all afraid The Riot team needs to change their priority. They are way harder on cursing and swearing than they are on inting or trolling.

Weirdly, I'm not convinced this is necessarily an issue -- I'd have to see the replays, but his match history shows some solid scores and some victories, so the guy might just legitimately like playing way off meta, which isn't something that's punishable.

Intentional feeding, yes. But there's nothing saying you aren't allowed to play AD Soraka, Crittlesticks, AP Miss Fortune, or anything so long as you're trying to win. And scores like 6/6/6, 7/10/11, and 10/1/4 seem like he IS trying, even if he's playing something generally bad.

Should he let his team know what he's doing? Yes. But I can't really call it inherently wrong or punishable myself.

Of course, that's just me. Riot may disagree. I don't know. :)

The dudes just trying different things. You'll get a lot farther focusing on your own gameplay

Wow, I literally just read all the comments in this thread and I couldn't believe it. Fuck all the trolls in this thread saying this guy is potentially just playing "off meta". Don't listen to them. This guy was trolling if he's picking ADC Soraka - a champion who is clearly not an ADC and using ignite instead of heal on her. Threads like these are why people say this community is shit. Especially when a moderator is saying ADC Soraka is "way off meta" instead of calling it a troll pick.

so just a question... if these games were wins would you be crying out over this players choices?

this so called troll has a 49% win rate on raka 35w-36l and a 69% win rate on MF 20w-9l

if you get onto policing what people build we might as well get 1 item every 3 levels automatically with no choice, our skills might as well not level up, and this game could be redesigned so that literally zero thought into the leveling/gearing process would be needed

someone who builds wrong and fucks up, I don't really care.

let them, better to get stuck with a troll than to lose any of the builds I like that aren't the optimum build
