What do you know about Trolling?

To make it a little easier when dealing with obvious trolls... understand that League players have it fairly easy.

I recall back in the days of DotA, the seemingly infinite amount of ways people could fuck with each other (which was fun in its own right).

Examples:

You could "bad" pull a jungle camp into a lane, distracting/killing your own creeps/minions thereby allowing the enemy to push your lane. You could farm items such as "Gem of True Sight" or "Divine Rapier" that were droppable upon death. You could drop items manually. You could pick Prophet & trap your teammates in a circle of trees for 5 seconds. You could pick Io & ulti/tether to a teammate which allows them to globally travel with you, and then you can break that tether to leave them stranded while your ultimate brings you back. You could pick Atropos & disable your teammates with "sleep" for 5 seconds. You could pick Chen & cast W, which teleports your teammates back to fountain. You could pick Earthspirit to push & pull your teammates to death or to trap them on a hill. You could pick Pudge/Vengeful Spirit to hook or swap allies into death or trap spots. You could pick Void and use your aoe ultimate to immobilize your teammates instead of the enemy. You could pick Oracle and burst damage your own allies or prevent them from attacking with the use of pro/con spells. You could control the team's courier at anytime and spam click it into enemy territory, or to prevent items from being delivered to allies. You could pick Tiny and toss allies right into the enemy.

As a support you'd often be solo or stranded for gold. As a support, there is no such thing as a "gold" item. There is no such thing as "free, replenishable wards". As a support, you are the poorman who binds and uplifts the team by constantly buying consumable items for your team, only gaining gold when you manage to successfully gank/kill the enemy. As a support, it wasn't uncommon to only have 1 or 2 items while the rest of your gold went towards wards/pots/tps/dust for the team.

The trolling potential in League doesn't even come close. Fun, yet horrible times.
