Is it a reportable offense for not trying to feed?

So let me explain my case. I was playing heim. against a yasuo and i did well, won lane and such even though their jgler was camping me. Then my team decides to feed so hard that I can't do anything anymore. If i am within the same screen as yasuo it is an instant death. They also fed a viewer too so there was no way I could've gotten close to do anything. So I do the next thing I can do which is push out lanes and try to stall, but my team keeps engaging on them and fighting for some reason. My whole team then wants to report me for pushing lanes instead of feeding with them. Is that a punishable offense?

Yes, you should have gotten boots and ran it down mid.

Seriously though, why would it be reportable? What rule would be broken?

You were trying to take turrets and NOT feed. Split pushing is a legitimate strategy. It's not your fault if your team just runs in and instadies. If they want to report you for not feeding with them then tell them to go ahead. So long as you're not an asshole in chat, you'll be fine.

I wish my team knew that when I play Yorick

If you play a split pushing champ like Yorick, just let your team know early on that you're spending most of the game in your lane. They should plan their fights accordingly. They don't need to be trying to force their ways down mid. they just need to hold the line at one of the turrets. If they don't feed over and over then they should be able to hold on even if its a 4v5.

If they don't listen, then just ignore them. They'll soon figure it out if they keep charging in and dying, and if they still don't after that, then they were probably going to just fail anyways.
