I'm just wondering that i should report someone for AFK farming and not helping out team in future game. Especially AFK jungler farming entire game.

If they are choosing to power farm to be a bigger threat later instead of engaging ganks they don't think they can win (whether you think they can or not), that isn't something you should report for.

If they are simply not participating in the match and have little or no intent on trying to win, that's no different from being AFK and should be reported as such.

Try to tell the difference, but if in doubt, err on the side of caution and report it. If they do this frequently and a pattern of non-participation is established they can be punished, and if it wasn't malicious behavior then they won't be punished for one game of that. If you don't report then they might keep doing it if it's malicious.

So is split pushing negative behavior now just because your team wants to group?

Last I checked the jungle didn't have any turrets/inhibitors, or a nexus. Did you read the whole thing?

you get reported either way i told a team they where making to many bad fights needed to stop taking my minions and that i was gonna group becuase i needed the stacks for nasus. every single time they throw the biggest fit youll see and wonder why im "negetive"

if i desever the restriction then they desever a perma for failing to even try to work with me.

im new. im bad. i dont know how to help you in that situation.

its okay ill jsut be another banned player saying how shitty leauge is because it is shitty. not so much the game but riot and the player base are just brain dead. there is no other way to put it now.

According to riot this falls under "having a bad game™"

Having bad game? please.....that is only according to your dreamy la la land. ,l,,

some champions are meant to afk farm/split push and not really team fight. "Helping" is a loose term. Just cause he isn't doing what you may want him to do doesn't mean he is not helping.

PaquayApr 12, 20171 votes

Well, to be fair he did say the jungler was afk farming. I don't believe that there's a lot of split push potential by living in the jungle, lol.

The fact is it does nothing to report him you're just wasting your time hitting the button

FlyingRoboticCowApr 12, 20171 votes

Disclaimer I jungle quite a bit. No you should not. The reason why is you have no idea what they are actually doing. Most of your attention is focused on your lane and what you are doing just because you haven't had a gank from your jungler or haven't seen them successfully complete a gank doesn't mean they haven't tried or aren't attempting to help your team in some way. This man puts it far better than I can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD7VayT4KqQ

", err on the side of caution and report it" .......god damn I get super cautious teammates all the time XD. Idk if telling people that if you are unsure about something, then report it. Seems like it would have the potential to create false positives and cause more undo stress in league.

It depends. If they're someone that needs to afk farm, then no. Yi's the most notorious example, but Diana and Akali also apply, to an extent. But they DO need to contribute in some way. Either they can do so by ganks or epic monsters, or by counter jungling to insanity.

Basically, as long as they contribute in some way, they're fine. But they need to add SOMETHING to the team.

The AFK jungler farmer im talking about is Graves. He hardly join in any team fight. When we need him together when entire enemy team is pushing into our base. Only to find Graves taking his sweet time taking his Blue buff and Gromp. He hardly came to gank either....only by the time he came for a gank, our laner is already dead.

Have you... i mean... dude... from what i see... i'm sorry.... but.... i mean... i think.... ... ... Have you ever considered uninstalling the game and never playing it ever again? Because what you just said has no words to be commentated. That's just.

Wow...

DemonCrowApr 12, 20172 votes

Thanks...this give me a reason to report you. PS Your comment has been reported.

ShadòwApr 12, 20171 votes

actually you can't farm if you are AFK

PaquayApr 12, 20171 votes

Pfft, get some lifesteal and a cinder hulk and you can. Lol.

ShadòwApr 12, 20171 votes

yes but you still have to be at your keyboard to do that

PaquayApr 12, 20171 votes

No, the cinderhulk (you could use a sunfire cape too) will start burning the jungle camp which will make them attack you. But if it's an easy camp you should be able to let the cinderhulk kill them and regen back up before it respawns. Don't need to be at your computer for that.

Not saying this is a good/effective idea. Just that it's doable.

ShadòwApr 12, 20171 votes

ye but you still need to switch camps

ive had the account for 4 months assuming you actually read that right, which i doubt given your claim. how does that equate to 4 months on the boards of crying. why is it that you fail to realize you are the problem with this game? im asking basic questions that should be easy to answer by now with clear answers and not one person riot or player seems to be able to do it.
