[Gameplay] Heimerdinger jungle afk exploit

Just had a match where the Heimerdinger "jungle" player found a way to afk the entire match after setting up your 3 turrets. Will have link at bottom to show the build he was using. Exploit that IP farmers can do to set up and not be afked out due to the jungle spawn times of putting you in combat, but there is no chance at dying.

Basic explanation:

  1. Go to wraith camp (near red buff)
  2. Set up 3 turrets outside of range of them taking aggro but close enough that they will attack all wraiths
  3. Have Spirit Stone and 4 rejuvenation beads (takes a few min of not being afk to get to this point, in our game it was 5 min in that I noticed)

Wraiths will always die to your autoattacks and turrets, your health will passively regen before the next spawn, and the spawn time of the wraith camp is low enough that the system will not register you as afk (due to reentering combat).

This is a VS AI problem, which some people will say is not a problem at all, but if you are supposed to get free IP while tabbed out just running the program in the background, Riot would give IP just for being logged in, or just give us free everything (except skins) in the first place.

My apologizes if a link to a match history is against the TOS in the bug forum, but I wanted to illustrate that it was in fact very possible to do.

You can win a bot game 1 vs 5...why would you care if heimer went afk?

Riot is really failing to fix a lot of these exploits - teemo + bami's cinder is another one. I think the explanation is that "These are unlikely to happen in a normal game" However the point is that this pretty much ruins the experience for the players left behind. Why should these people get free IP off of your (arguably harder now) work.
