Upset over duration of the tool? vs the dam thing wanting to AFK kick you? o.o

I mean there are multiple time's I'm scrolling around the item builds trying to craft up then finally test something but the buster pop ups are annoying for a SOLO game mode... I gotta make a another topic about it, but I think it's their technology side why they can't extend the duration.

It AFK kicks you because otherwise you could sit in the tool forever and eat up their server space. Overwatch does it for the same reason for their practice range.

You mean afk kick when max duration is still an hour... Don't need both.

And overwatch is even dumber, there are several times you want to adjust options to best change your controls per hero correctly and they auto-kick you way too quick in a practice range/custom games, at least LoL has a respectable afk-kick I'll give it that. But with there being a max duration, the afk timer does not need to be there.

Why leave the server running for an hour if the player is gonna sit AFK there for 40 minutes? It costs Riot money to leave it up, not a lot of course but it adds up.

I agree that Overwatch's AFK kick timer is WAY too short. You can barely adjust your volume without getting kicked. The same applies for the real modes. If you don't shoot an enemy within a certain amount of time you'll get kicked, even in ranked. I've heard stories of entire ranked teams getting kicked because the enemy is hiding in their spawn so they can't get shot. They're gonna lose anyway, so they force the enemy to get AFK kicked so they also get a loss.

The server runs 24/7...

it isnt meant for infinite stacking tho its meant to practice champs not seeing how much damage you can do after 4 days of q spam

Well, Gargoyle Stoneplate lets you do it with Sion at least, and Cho'gath.

Seems that they patched that out. Stoneplate spam failed last time I tried it, and if it still existed Vandiril's 7.12 item 3190 video would've probably had a clip of practice mode in it rather than only using a pvp custom.

They do this because if you spend too much time in one match in most MOBAs a lot of bugs and graphical glitches occur.

60 in game minutes or 60 real life minutes?

In game time.

Yeah, I remember I was in a match for about an hour once (using the tool to speed time up, of course), and I turn around for a few seconds, and I suddenly lost the match.

Does Vandiril really still do some of his videos in customs?

I know its not infinite stacks but Rengar players would appreciate too being able to fill the bonetooth with a simple click.

It's fairly easy to get a lot of stacks with Veigar and Nasus because you can just teleport around hitting buttons or use practice dummies in a small group to hit them with AOE abilities on veigar. Yet Kindred's passive is on a timer for marking and Sion's infinite scaling isn't very easy to get unless you just get a butt load of items and all your skills at level 1. You can also get the buffs from jungle creeps.

I'm upset we can't have more than 1 enemy bot in the game. And no allies? Why? Latency? What?

Also why can't we play practice mode and against bots offline? If our internet goes down, why do we need to wait to play in a, what should be, offline mode.
