Is it okay to skip through VODs for watch rewards?

s0manythings··1 votes·4,797 views

When I watch the VODs I'll often skip through them with the arrow keys. I'll still end up watching the VODs for 10+ min. but was curious if skipping through them still counts?

That being said, I've had no problem getting rewards from watching full streams or vods without skipping, I just also get excited when I see stats about how many games I've watched and wasn't sure if the skipping videos counted.

Thanks!

You can leave them on muted in a background tab at 2x speed if you just want the rewards

Thanks for the response @Dynikus. I don't have issues getting the rewards, I'm just curious if skipping through the videos with the arrow keys still counts.

I think that if you watch 30-40 minutes of game time it counts it as a watched video. I vaguely remember that from some riot Article. dont quote me on it though.

I have feeling if you click on a game fast forward to the end it wont count as a game watched, but I always start the LCK Vods at 20-30% of the video and (I think) it always counts as a watch.

I did just try to fast forward through a video (which I haven't watched) and it did NOT increase my counter.

I picked one of the LPL videos and held the Right Arrow and stoped like every 5 video minutes just to buffer. Before and after my video watch number stayed the same. If by tomorrow the number updates I will post again, but I have a feeling that this will not count as a watched video.

As far as I know you have to see at least 10 minutes or so for it to count them. So I don't know if skipping will count but I just leave them on (muted) while doing other stuff lol.
