Entire Team Flame Over Wanting Farm During Lane Phase??

So I was in solo q a minute ago, as mf w/ janna bot, vs a raka/trist combo. and this janna just keeps sniping farm out from under me. I started by asking her to please stop, which was of course ignored. kept asking as she kept doing it, still trying to be polite, so she starts harcore farming out from under me for the whole lane phase, then ditches me for a 1v2 at about 10m. this whole time, i get tons of flame from our jg and mid, all while just trying to farm and hold my own lane.

and before you ask, no, i was not feeding. my final score was 7/1/5, 178 farm, roughly a 30m game. spent the entire game getting flamed by what turned out as a 3/6/8 ryze mid and a 9/3/6 kayn, being called every form of trash by both of them, ditched every time i entered lane with someone, and intentionally sniped the whole game.

i'm pretty calm now, but i'm still salty af about it. and i don't feel like I did anything to deserve a team that intentionally tries to tilt their own players even when they're doing good and are just trying to, you know, farm their own lane during a hard lane phase.

also, despite reporting the people involved, of course riot has done literally nothing. no tribunal, nothing. how is this reasonable? I didn't flame these people. the worst thing i did, and i admit it probably wasn't the best plan, was spammed about 5 lines asking janna to pls pls pls just stop taking farm out from under me. but does that really justify 30m of flame?

how is this acceptable, riot? how do you just let teams get away with flaming like that, zero consequences involved?

How do you know they were not punished?

I may be mistaken, but the last i remember, it would give a notification if someone you reported was attended by the tribunal?

That doesn't happen every time someone is punished, and even when the notification is sent it is not necessarily sent to every person who reported them. The notification is intended as an infrequent "hey, thanks for helping" notification - not for people to "witch hunt" to see if people were punished or not. I'm not saying you're a bad person, but the behavior here (of trying to determine if someone else was punished or not) is exactly the reason why the notification is not sent to everyone or every time.

Rest assured the system did look into your reports and take appropriate action - even if you don't see it.

fair enough, i think i see what you mean there. it's not that i want a witch hunt. it's just so frustrating when your own team just unloads on you, and most of what i was upset about was that it just feels like people get away with being absolutely toxic sometimes, and there's not really a way for players to feel like justice was done under the current system.

I trust yours (riots) judgement on average. I really just needed to vent.

You're fine - the important thing is that you understand how to not let yourself fall to their level and become toxic with them :)
