"Ghost" armies don't benefit from class traits

I fought a "copy" of someone's army and their Blitzcrank HAD NO MANA at the start. But since those fights seem super easy in general, I think this concerns all traits, not just the "robot" one.

This is intended, since beating a ghost army doesnt inflict any damage on your opponent the ghost army is weaker to make it more fair. And weaker simply mean that ghost armies does not get any traits.

But you still get gold and win streak from it*, don't you? So it's actually unfair because you can basically only gain from fighting such an army.

*And if you don't get anything, then what's the point of even fighting ghost armies?

Because sometimes there's an odd number of players so then 1 player need to fight a ghost army.

yes you get gold for winning, but keep in mind that you do risk losing hp- so its fair with some reward.

idk if it's the best solution, but that's what riot have done.

There is barely any risk given how much weakened those armies are.

I'll give you an example from my last game why this isn't fair: 1st place: 31 hp Me: 22 hp 3rd place: 4 hp

I fought the guy in the 1st place and lost. Meanwhile, the 3rd guy fought a ghost army and won. I finished 3rd.

To me there are only two fair possibilities:

  1. You fight a full strength army and benefit from it as if you fought a regular opponent if you win. You don't inflict any damage but that's ok because that player is still risking their hp in a fight with another opponent. I think that's the best option since otherwise one of the other players gains an advantage over you in that round where you can't gain anything.
  2. You fight a weakened army but you don't gain anything from winning and you don't lose anything from a loss. But in that case you might as well not fight at all. And that's not entirely fair because you don't have a chance to gain gold for a win.
