Is it reportable when...

When the "support" picks an adc (Caitlyn), steals the actual adc's (jinx) farm. Then goes through the jungle and takes every camp one by one, even from under the jungler?

This person was duo queue with the top laner, and I politely asked "wtf are you doing caitlyn?" (lol). Yasuo Top tells me, "The adc needs the farm more than you do". And Caitlyn said, "is NA always like this?".

I'm confused if this person is trolling or playing a different style from another server. I checked profile after game and they are gold 4, so i don't understand why this person did this if they sorta know the meta here in NA.

Edit: Wait, why is this getting downvoted? lol This is a legitimate question/post. Please inform me on why this is wrong of me to ask or if I said anything that is worth downvoting. I am open to constructive criticism.

Yes. Intentionally feeding is a misnomer. It's actually intent to help the enemy, usually via sabotage of own team. Report those pieces of shit and ask for x9.

Okay, well i wrote a report for them. I doubt anything will happen off that ONE game unless they continue this play style, am I right? Also i wrote in /all chat to the enemies, "Pls kill Caitlyn a few more times before you win". Is that wrong of me to do? I was a little tilted lol.

Technically if the champion has CCs, theyre a support

Look at Annie Chogath Fiddlesticks Lux Maokai Morgana Velkoz Zyra who are valid supports purely because they hold a champion down for the ADC to kill

in certain regions it's not about the "meta" in solo que, but more about who can carry with x champ. you get a lane and then go where you want in order to earn gold and xp. if you have a lot of gold and xp and know how to play your champion you can carry regardless of team composition. at least that's the theory.

you'll see that a lot on the boards when people are complaining about the lack of teamwork or when people are constantly saying things like "get good" or whatever.

in the NA server though the majority of the community has an idealistic approach to the game and instead of being open minded about it they cram that idealistic approach down everyone else's throat and in the event where someone goes against the grain players tend to overreact and threaten mutiny.

partly this is because NA is full of players who have leisure time, money, and a large community of friends who enjoy similar interests. on other servers the game is played less like a team sport and more like a free for all.

"is it reportable"

the short answer is everything is reportable. the report function is no longer looked at as a way for players to finger out specific scenarios, but instead to address growing concerns. if you dont like something someone does then report them. it acts like a voting system and if enough people decide they don't like it that players account gets flagged for reformation.

would i report someone for playing caitlyn support and clearing parts of the jungle? no. why? simplest reason is because they're securing income and xp for their team and preventing it from the opponents. if i were the jinx in this scenario i would have focused my build towards defense instead of offense and hoped to hold out long enough for someone to get first tower on our team and if i didn't think i could i would ping for assistance until the turret fell and then retreat to another turret. it's that simple.

in other servers its about getting 3 to 4 items maxed out asap to carry short end a game, we had a nid player saying they just moved from eu server and that they will solo carry us as they are trying to finish their promos and move onto a higher elo since they now have to play on na server.

they started mid but after fist blood nid Nidalee roamed and took everything like they had 200+ cs 35 ish kills 2 deaths and 0 assists....

the horrors of that game tho
