When The Other Team Has a Troll

This is partially a vent post but does discuss an relatively rare issue that does come up

So I just got done playing a game where our bot lane had given up 8 kills within 12 minutes. Our bot lane then proceeded to go to the enemy base and proxy farm minions. Pretty typical league trolling.

What made it even worse was the two held the game hostage by not ffing. "Talon you're such a buzzkill man!" they said as if that instantly made their actions funny and justifiable, holding me hostage in a game I had no desire to be in. "Stop being so try hard talon" as they continued to feed the enemy team in their own base. We potentially could have won the game if bot had just tried even after giving up so many kills. Pretty terrible and I couldn't leave without being punished for it. Then what happened next blew my mind.

The enemy team started trolling with the trolls on our team. "Talon you're trying way too hard in this game just have fun man", the enemy Azir would say to me. The enemy team would chase the trolls, who werent even doing anything to contribute to the game at this point besides walking around, just so they could get more kills. They stopped attempting to get objectives the moment someone on my team showed they're face and would not go back to actually trying to win until whoever had shown up was killed. Even when the minions had finally pushed up to the nexus they refused to end until the minions did it for them.

So here's the point of the thread. Just because you're winning a game DOES NOT mean you are not trolling. You can troll the enemy team just as much as people on their own team by refusing to end a game you've clearly won. This is a rare issue in league but it is definitely an issue.

So please. Don't troll. End the game. It sucks being held hostage in a game you don't want to play when the only reason other people are enjoying it is because theyre enjoying someone elses misery.

I'm guessing you made the mistake of engaging in a retaliatory debate with the trolls on your team as well as spamming All Chat with "report our bot lane intentional feeders!".

Had you muted everyone and said nothing the other team would have had no reason to tell you to stop trying so hard.

No no no no no. You cant troll enemy team. The way your opponents decide to play is their choice as long as all opponents agree to it. Thats their choice that they want kills over win.
