So what exactly qualifies as "Trolling" in this game?

Well I've been told that I'm an troll for the way I play : Evidently going anywhere but top in PvP, kill-stealing, and being anti-meta in general is considered trolling...But I feel that because you can't expect someone to play the same way as you do does not make them an troll. I'm not filing the First Amendment excuse yet, but what is wrong with me being an opportunistic player in Summoner's Rift? I jungle with , rarely curse in chat, regularly switch lanes...

Alright fine, here's an recent match....

1st video:

You offered them first blood. You just stood there, did nothing, and let them have it.
Nothing to do with trolling, but your cs-ing skills sucks.
Why were you bothering bot lane for? Despite them managing to grab a couple of kills, you were just stealing most of their experience & gold gains.

2nd video:

Now you're just taking all of your jungler's monster camps. You even said that you chose mid lane Darius, which is fine, but why dafuq did you ditched mid lane & went off to bother bot/jungle for? Thanks to that, the enemy managed to pushed into your 2nd inner tower.
The fact that I'm literally seeing you taking monsters which Olaf was attacking pretty much shows a red light of trolling.

My conclusion? You're the type of person that I do not want to play with, and you deserve to be reported for your behavior.

While he did do all of those things, you have to keep in mind that he is level 12. He did make a lot of mistakes but that could be the player being unfamiliar with the game...

Well the first blood was from an AFK, it was an minor errand that I had to do. I have an habit of abandoning an lane that I can;t hold to avoid feeding. But how is kill-stealing is considered trolling when we both share the EXP?

And do you even know how to just farm under turret & try to hold out your lane instead?

Having the habit is ditching your lane just to annoy your other laners is bad & can be considered trolling. Your other laners need all the experiences & gold gains they can get. Your job is just to make your lane you assigned yourself to is not to be pushed too hard no matter the circumstances. Thanks to that "habit" of yours, you gave the enemy mid laners a very large advantage to push into your 2nd turret.

If you think your lane is having too much pressure due to enemy being pokey or a 2v1 situation, call out your jungler, not annoy your bot lane.

Additional note: Experiences shared in a 3-man lane is much lower than a 2-man lane. That's why Tristana & Blitz wanted you to get out of their lane so much.

We don't really care about whatever champs you're bringing. I dont care if you bring Bard Evelynn Singed mid. Ditching it & coming to annoy any other solo laners will get you reported.

Trolling: Anything that takes me out of my comfort zone. Please only play who I am accustomed to seeing in the roles in which I am accustomed to seeing them. Thank you, have fun, get rekt scrub.

I think he was being sarcastic but yeah

StrawberrycocoaDec 13, 20152 votes

There's nothing wrong with it, I was being sarcastic. Guess that didn't come across. Sorry.

Sona PingDec 14, 20151 votes

No, it did come across. I figure there was simply three very thick people browsing this thread.

Nothing, except this generation seems to want everything the same all the time and or handed to them with no effort, also if anything changes it's the end of the world...

allenmark00Dec 13, 20151 votes

Seems kinda counterproductive to avoid the occasional dose of innovation...

I mean I'm not gonna sit here and watch that match but if you took Darius into the jungle, that's not trolling. Trolling to me is intentionally feeding, building just insanely dumb (AP on Riven, Mana on Lee Sin , etc.), stuff like that.

I've been playing a lot of Jungle Leona lately, so I understand playing off meta.

Awkward CouchDec 13, 20151 votes

I think its different for every person. For me trolling is a player going out of the way to make my team intentionally lose the game. For example, I would consider it trolling if a player the entire game right clicks the enemy nexus to see how far they can get. It has happened before.

You are not me. Therefore troll.
