Feeding vs. Gamethrow

I just played a Veigar game where I did horribly against a Syndra. She constantly landed stuns and with help from an early gank, tore me to pieces. About 10 minutes in, our Fiora said those words that, if you've been in Silver or Bronze, you understand the feeling you get upon hearing them. "gg we lost"

The game is in my match history. I continued trying and my friend tried to gank but we got 0 lucky breaks. I ult syndra on 300 health? She barriers and lives with 10. He flash ults (as hecarim) and makes it out on 20 health? She's 25 and launching an auto attack towards him. It was bad. Fiora decided her lane didn't matter and started flaming us.

While tower was being attacked, she stood still underneath it. Not because she couldn't defend. She was busy typing.

"Please let me out".

That sums up her contribution to the rest of the game. She farms, ignores enemy champions, and spam pings anyone when they die. I ask for a report in chat, she yells "ROLF"..."INTING VEIGAR AND IM TOXIC"

To get back at me she sat in a bush continuing to spam "ROLF" throughout the game as enemies broke nexus.

You know you've played with people who aren't doing well, and people who are willing to burn their LP just to inconvenience you. (Yeah, this was ranked)

I know she didn't use any specific trigger words, she just tried to trigger anyone to get a reaction out of them. Nobody responded with toxicity. I know for a fact, even though every single member of my team reported them, they won't get in trouble. They didn't use profanity, hardly made their trolling noticeable and constantly yelled things in all chat as though I was the one harassing them. It's really difficult to keep calm when someone is using 25 minutes of their life to irritate you in the safest possible way (for them).

What can you do with this type of player and situation? What the hell am I, and the rest of the community supposed to do to deal with them?

You know you can mute both her chat AND emote/ping?

As long as it isn't intentional feeding, it isn't punishable. Unintentional feeding just makes it harder for that team to win the match. Toxic troll like the Fiora you mention is clearly crossing into the punishable territory. Maybe one day IFS might actually punish her too.

I recommend that in future when you meet such situation you follow this simple guideline; mute, play to the end as well as you can, report the annoyance, forget it happened.

I found the game:- https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2846509904/219670920?tab=overview

To be honest, I don't blame the Fiora. Not saying what she did was right but I completely understand why she did. You were a feeder that game. As someone that has to deal with feeders almost every game, I can tell you, it's not fun. I can totally empathize with that Fiora. You can't feed like that and expect people to want to continue trying. I can tell you from experience, it's very hard not to want to troll or afk in a match where you have a feeder. Feeders actively undermine the efforts of the better players on a team.

My advice to you is learn how to not be a feeder. Trust me, it's not difficult to avoid feeding.
