Is deliberately not surrendering to hold a player hostage report-worthy?

If it isn't, it should be.

So the enemy duo queue bot lane in my game were probably being flamed by the jungler (he didnt say anything in /all so I cant verify it) for feeding I assume (and they were dying A LOT). There was no way they could feasibly win, barring our mid/jungle duo losing their internet because it was already a 4v5 (their Talon ragequit. And even without our absurdly fed jungler, our botlane probably could have carried a 3v4.

The 9 death Thresh said "surrendering is for pussies" and the ADC said something to the effect of "we aren't surrendering because Yi is crying".

Now granted the Yi probably said some words on the No no list but they were definitely griefing

Excuse me, did I have a stroke reading that? Deliberately NOT surrendering?

When a surrender vote goes up, everyone has equal right to vote yes or no.

There was no way they could feasibly win

Do your teams a favor and don't play ranked games. Ever. Game is over when a Nexus explodes.

Do you understand what "feasible" means? Doesn't seem like it.

Are you mad that the enemies won't surrender????

There is no way for voting no to surrender to be considered griefing by Riot's standards.

On the other hand, if your winning team is dicking around instead of winning the game, that could be considered griefing by Riot's standards.

If they were refusing to surrender because they still think they can win, that's their choice. If they say nothing about surrendering, there is no way to determine motivation and Riot errs on the side of not trolling.

If they admit they were refusing to surrender specifically to harrass or troll another player, than yes, I would say it's reportable. I would probably report them under both harrassment and griefing/feeding, since there is a gameplay effect.

If those are the only matches that you DC, then you can DC those with impunity.
