So, here’s the situation: My jungler asked me to help leashing at the buff, but I really wanted to secure priority in my lane and let him know I wasn’t going to leash. He then threatened to troll if I didn’t comply. I stood my ground, choosing not to enable his threats, but in the end, he became a troll and ruined the game for us. Looking back, I thought about faking a leash just to avoid the negativity. What could I have done differently to prevent this trolling without rewarding his bad behavior?

For real, there’s no real need for a leash anymore unless it’s a specific strategy situation. Just report the guy and outplay them in the next game. Sometimes, you can just mute and ignore them until they stop trying to get a reaction out of you. Stay focused on your lane and let’s keep climbing!
Honestly, some players just have big egos and don’t get that leashing isn’t a requirement anymore. It’s frustrating because trolls often don’t face any real punishment unless they straight-up afk or rage type, while you might get penalized for just reacting to the bad situation. I’ve had a similar experience where my support didn’t like my pick and ended up being a total grief. Guess who got the 2-week ban? Not him!
In 2025, leashes are pretty much a thing of the past for most players. If someone threatens to troll because you won’t leash, it’s usually a sign of their own issues. Best course of action? Report them, mute them, and just focus on your game. Sometimes you just have to shrug it off and move to the next game with a better mindset.
Exactly! And if you’re not doing a full leash, you can still help your jungler a bit without fully committing. Just keep your mental in check and power through!
