last game, every lane was winning ashe and i (syndra) were super fed, rammus was ganking and helping but top who was 0/2 (wasnt bad tbh) and ofc our support leo decides to go into a fury over how "we gonna lsoe cuz tops bad" she was 0/6/12 so not that bad but then she just kept flaming so ofc rammus decided to start trolling by building all ad...... rammus then starts feeding fizz even thou i beat fizz in lane hard (mostly because of rammus ganks which i congratulated him on)

teamfights come around leo is off bot split pushing because its "unwinnable" rammus is top because he is flat out trolling fizz jumps onto ashe then me and mao dies because 1v5 even when leo and rammus were in a teamfight, leo would go off to their backline and 1v3 while letting me and ashe get destroyed by fizz rammus died insatntly since full ad only mao tried to help ashe and me get the fizz and twitch off of us since rammus and leo were purposefully trying to make us lose and apparently leo "knew we were gonna lose at 10 min" even thou we were stomping at 10 min... so whyd she troll?

the best part knowing these 2 people will never get banned because of the crappy report system :D kinda sick of league if this is how its progressing, just gets worse every season

tl;dr

everyone was winning but top who wasnt bad leo flames and causes rammus to build all ad teamfights rammus and leo purposefully go in 1v3 and die while letting me and ashe die to fizz and twitch they will never get banned

Edit: no this isnt a "i only lose cuz trolls post because im currently climbing (from s5- now s1) and that win which was free would have given me promos to gold" just want to know why these people even troll in the first place

asking why people troll is like asking why we exist on planet earth, we just do

My true story last game:

  1. Heim top, Lee jg starting Krugs.
  2. Lee ask for a hard leash
  3. Heimer stayed to give him a hard leash and is AAing the Krug
  4. Lee smites while Heim's AA is in mid air
  5. Smite left the Krugs with less than 20 hp
  6. Heimer gets the Krugs
  7. Lee sin screams his head off, starts intentionally feeding saying heimer tilted him
  8. Lee claims that we are being punished (with a loss of a game) cos we agreed that he messed up his smite
  9. Intentionally feeds all game, I didn't get to see the power of AP leona.

Trolls have a lot of different reasons for trolling. They may be smurfing and don't like their team They may not be smurfing but still don't like their team They may be bombing to lower their rank so they can boost their friends They may simply just get a kick out of watching people rage They might get into an argument with someone and take out their anger on them They may be dealing with other issues and are venting frustration They might not actually be trolling but are pretending they are when they're doing bad so they don't look like a noob

If what you say is true in that they intentionally trolled then as long as you reported them they will eventually be punished for their poor behavior. Gameplay trolls do get banned but it's not as widespread because the systems have to make sure that the person in question is actually intentionally trolling and not just having a bad game. Here's a recent example of a gameplay troll getting banned.
