Report Option?

Cerkoryn·Jan 1, 2016·2 votes·857 views

So I queue for a ranked game and as usual post my "Gangplank main, but fill if needed", and no one else on my team communicates at all. Last person is selecting a champion, and the only position open is ADC. He waits until the very last second and then locks in Amumu.

At this point, my options are to dodge and lose LP, punishing myself. Or to try and play the game and carry super hard. I decide to try and play because I'm confident in the top lane matchup.

20 mins into the game and I'm 3/0/2 and about 100 CD ahead of my opposing laner. I'm pretty much ulting bot on CD, but eventually a 19/1/X Draven just walks into my lane and right clicks me, pretty much one-shotting me. It's somewhat clear that our botlane isn't intentionally feeding, it's just that Draven had an incredibly easy lane and is now dominating the whole game.

The Amumu player says "Sorry, I can only play Amumu" when we are already in the game. My question is how/if I can report this player? There used to be an option to report for refusing to communicate, but it is no longer there.

You cant. U said he wasnt intentionally feeding. Refusing to communicate was just a placebo option, so people wouldnt spam other report options. But those reports were discarded. Basically, guy decided that instead of going on role he cant really play, he should play what he is comfortable on. Its called out of meta pick. It didnt work. But its not against rules.

So should I have just dodged then? I can't imagine any Amumu ADC would ever work. It seems punishing to the rest of the team to lose LP for that reason.

Now, there is an issue. I doubt Amumu was building AD. He wasnt ADC. He was simply Amumu bottom. Jungler should have put alot of pressure on that bot lane, so Draven doesnt get fed, since i am 100% sure that opposing lane pushed hard into your bottom lane turret. But your jungler probably had same mentality (Amumu adc, trol, i am not ganking bot). All kind of comps can work (META is most popular tho), but team has to accept and adapt to it. If team thinks "ok we lost this " on start, then its team who has problems, not Amumu. Also i cant see that game in your match history for some reason, so cant see your team comp (there is similar game, at the time you posted this and Draven got fed but it was Brand+ Jinx bot, not Amumu)

It was a hypothetical game in which I tried to think of the trolliest pick I could. That game you mentioned was just fresh in my mind at the time. What I am trying to figure out is what I could do in situations with trolls either in Champ Select or In-game in order to minimize losses to my LP gain, especially since reporting I guess is not an option.

Well, check their match history first, if those picks work for them, then u dont have to dodge. If you see person is on tilt- lost many games in a row, it means he is angry and tries to make other people angry cause of his mental state. But if u see guy picked,instead of ADC, lets say Malzahar bot, so you have Malzahar+ Zilean lane bot. You check up Malzahar, if guy has good winrate with Malzahar, just go with it, he will probably do well. But if you see guy picked Teemo jungle, u check him up, he lost 9 games in a row, just dodge.

If I recall correctly, when you dodge, you do lose LP, however, your elo (or mmr) stays the same. So if you are sure that your team composition is outright losing, just dodge.

If there's only one champion you ever play and it's not playable on every position and you just wait till the end of champion select getting that position and pick that champion anyway, knowing that it doesn't ever work, you're trolling, if not imbecile.
