Is this player behavior reportable?

So I had a duo in my ranked game but one was top and the other was support. They chose pyke into brand and jinx and then proceeded to just sit way far back and let the enemy brand and jinx just attack me whenever I tried to farm. He wouldn't go up even for his coin drops and just sat around while they contiously forced me off farm and wittled me down.

Tried to let the wave push to me but a mix of me being MF and him going in when the wave got near the turret and hitting them all made it so the wave just pushed to the enemy. After I was 2 levels behind he started suddenly acting aggressive and hooking the jinx/brand into us(me) leading to me dying alot since I was under leveled and item. During all this when I asked him to please come closer or help in anyway he would just spam emotes.

Any way the game eventually ended with those 2 fed, the pyke having only one more vision score than me (like 14 at 20 something minutes),not much damage,and him and his duo talking about how its my and the mids fault.

Would this be considered trolling?

Sounds like pyke was off role and was just bad -- so no, you can't report people for sucking (it feels bad when someone on your team is an anchor and drags everyone else down with them, but it happens, to all of us even). Him being a duo has nothing to do with it. Determining if he was purposely throwing the game would be hard to determine, especially without seeing the match.

Likely the duo's skill gap was wide, and they just averaged into your game. Theoretically, the top laner should have compensated for his partner's deficiency. All in all, not reportable from what you described. I personally wish solo queue was just that... solo. Let duo queue go to Flex.

I looked him up for you OP. Silver 2 Pyke with Support as his main role. 1.94:1 KDA, 63 games played and a 32% win ratio on Pyke. The bot lane you faced were both Gold 4's. Its hard to judge without actually watching his prior games and this one to make a positive comparison.

But based on stats, he fares rather poorly on the champion. His duo Q as well as him were at a 30% win ratio which fell down to 25% over the past 3 months (I refreshed and updated their profiles). I think that they are just playing the game casually and to have fun doing something together.

You can report him for 'Negative Behavior' if you really have to, for blaming you towards the end. But you can't really report him for actually trolling you when we don't know if he AFK's by the turret every single time. Maybe he was just nervous about facing Gold 4's/didn't want to feed. There could be countless reasons/excuses. Honestly, I've never seen a support AFK in Silver or Gold since back in S3. But I'd still give him the benefit of doubt because of his depressing Pyke stats.

Exactly as jovack claims. Its not reportable because we cant prove he's trolling.

I dunno. If your feelings were hurt, just report them. Seems anything is a punishable offense these days.

Don't focus on whether or not teammates are trolling. It drives me crazy, so it might drive a lot of other people crazy.
