first off... me english no good.

k so my question is if splitpushing is considered trolling in bronze. im no good teamfighters but i love the splitpushing so i try to splitpush as often as possible. often when my team doesnt engage or gets engaged, i take objectives. i take towers inhibs i take as much as i can. but like 3/4 of the time my team gets into a 4v5 and i can promise you that i will get AT LEAST reported from my entire team for trolling eventually from enemys aswell. which is okay because i know splitpushing needs coordination which is hard in soloq and especially in my elo where most people dont know what splitpushing is (and where most ppl prob splitpush wrong anyways. i bet i do a ton wrong but thats not the point)

so my question is can i get banned for that? is that considered trolling/griefing? cause EVERY TIME my team dies in a 4v5 i see that same all chat message "/all report squidwards house for trolling, always going solo".

now listen I DO teamfight, but when im fed and i know i can 1v2 or 1v3 the enemys AND my team got like a sivir or anivia i expect them to just press w or r and hold. when our teamcomp has 0 waveclear, i dont go splitpush. but when we have decent waveclear i rarely join teamfights. unless its a baron dance or something.

so do i break the rules? because i swear if anyone from riot checks any of my games where i splitpush and where my team dies in a 4v5 (EVEN IF WE WIN THE GAME, EVEN IF WE WIN BECAUSE OF ME!) i get at least 3-4 reports. and i know its not about the mass, but getting a ton of reports like every 2nd game cant be good.

As long as you are trying to win and performing at your best, then no. If your team ignores your messages or pings to back off or not engage in fights, that's on them

Yes, if you're not there for the 4v5 fight that your team starts, it's your fault :p

Here's the thing about this mentality. You will always not be there to help your team when they need you, and you will infact lost much more often because you are splitting so much. Is it reportable? technically no, but at a certain point it is intentional feeding in my book because you should learn from mistakes. If your team is losing teamfight after teamfight and you still arent helping, then yes, that is in my opinion trolling/feeding.

Its most effective strategy for climbing in low elo. But ,friendly advice: mute your team on start and stick to your strategy.

I'm sure there are people who are convinced you're trolling and have probably made threads asking why you haven't been banned. But don't worry, Riot doesn't like false banning people for trolling. They give a lot of leniency because of people like you, who could be seen as trolling, but really, you're just bronze. I wouldn't worry about it.

It's the only way to win in bronze. Good luck

It isn't against the rules, but always splitpushing isn't exactly the best strategy. Good splitpushing opportunities are somewhat rare and require good vision so you can properly react to enemies trying to take advantage of your position.

Basically, punishable, but it isn't the most sound strategy out there.
