So I just got reported for "giving up"

Cloud273·Oct 11, 2017·2 votes·521 views

I called myself/rammus a useless tank in chat because I was playing bad (and I feel like tanks just lose to assassins in this meta). And even though the enemy Kayn was harassing me all game (making fun of me for losing my buffs to him, not ganking early enough, etc). We ended up surrendering very early, but apparently they felt the need to report me for "giving up". I reported the Kayn for harassment, but please tell me. Did I truly deserve a report for this game?

If you constantly commented on your teammates' negative performance, and/or constantly pushed for a ff or to help the enemy win faster, then yes, you could've been reported for giving up and having a negative attitude.

None of that reflects what he said.

"your teammates" includes himself - commenting on a poor performance is considered negative.

Furthermore, I pointed out what could result in a valid report - I never said he was reported for those things, nor whether they were valid.

I don't think I commented about my teammates performance. I believe the phrase I used was useless tank, but I was not specifically referring to myself. I was referring to tanks in general (and kind of referring to myself, so I guess a little of both...). Is there ANYTHING you can say in this game that won't get u banned? Serious question.

About the ff thing. I tried to surrender 1 time (maybe twice, but I think just once).

Starting a surrender vote is not punishable.

If you did nothing wrong - if you only commented on yourself being useless once or twice, you should not be punished. Without seeing the exact chat log from the game, I can't tell you if that's all you did, but the way you're describing it does not sound like you should be punished.

My prior posts weren't meant to be accusatory in any way, just kinda explain what the system will punish you for to help you decide if you were validly reported or not. Keep in mind that false reports don't do anything against you, and that's what this sounds like - just a false report.

Tanks lose to Assassins? What? Maybe you lose to Kayn if he goes Darkin mode, but then he is not an Assassin. lul

Shadow Assasin would need a huge item advantage to beat Rammus.

By definition, if you vote yes to an ff vote, you are giving up.

IMO, It's pretty hypocritical of riot to introduce a surrender mechanic and also make giving up a punishable offense. But hey, I don't make the rules. I just follow em.
