What do high-ranked/challenger streamers/players/pros know about Griefing?

Usually when the stakes are higher in higher-ranked games, players have tendency or more incentive to not attempt to grief.

Have these "challenger players" experienced -

  1. the Tahm Kench who swallow teammates to spit into opponents for slaughter...
  2. the Anivia who repeatedly used her wall to block off own teammates' retreat route...
  3. the Ryze who repeatedly transport teammates into enemies to be slaughtered...
  4. the Janna who only pushes teammates to enemies...
  5. the Taliyah who walled off own teammates retreat...
  6. the Bard who repeatedly helped enemies catch up on teammates via magical tunnels...

I really doubt these Challenger Players have experienced Griefing of such nature. Being that they mostly play on high ranked games where stakes are higher and where their games have a more "visible" nature... i.e. being seen by others on streams etc.

If they did, streamers such as NightBlue3 would not call out to Nubrac's strat as griefing.

You think those streamers started out being a professional player?

Jeez.

That's like asking if a pro basketball player has ever seen a game with less than 75 points per team. Even if they haven't in their pro career, they started somewhere.


And no, just the fact that some actions are more clearly griefing does not make what Nubrac did not griefing.

Anything they see not fit into what they deem as META play is trolling in their eyes.

They may be good at the game, but they don't know much about the behavioral system.
