Epic AFK leveling method

EIýzium·1/3/2016, 9:06:57 PM·62 votes·13,970 views

I encountered a Heimer who did exactly what I did in the video during a Co-op vs. AI match. Basically, he tp'ed top at the start of the match, having bought only boots and a pink. He placed the pink over the wall, next to the golems, and then placed a turret behind the wall. Now he was able to just stand at the spot and do nothing while the cannon would permanently be "in combat", causing the AFK detection not to trigger. Me and my allies tried a lot of stuff to stop him but it didn't work. When we killed the golems, they respawned 1 minute later and Heimer would continue. Killing only the big one didn't work either. He was barely out of range of the red buff and Baron, so none of them could kill him either. We tried pushing hjm away from his turret with Trundle Pillar, but it took too long and he eventually just walked back to the original spot. As much as I like his creativity, I feel like this should be bannable. What do you guys think? [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Exploiting the afk system that's meant to punish you when you afk.

Yeah bannable.

That's hilariously abusable.

Get Kench. Eat the Heimer. Then throw him into the enemy turret. Rinse and repeat.

At the end of the game, report for feeding.

I don't really care, since it is just Co-op vs. AI. The annoying part about bots is that they ruin games by making you lose, and you can't really lose a bots game.

Another option to stop him is to lead an AI over there to take down the pink/turret/Donger.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see how this is epic, he isn't killing any monsters so he isn't gettingg exp he isn't getting any real gold other than by time..

Whats the problem anyway? Coop vs AI is perfectly winable 4v5, its even more fun, since it add at least a bit of a challenge. Who is losing in this trade? Heimerdinger can go AFK and get some IP, you can have a fun game against Bots. Its not like they are very challenging, even I can 1v5 against the best bot option and I am a sIlver noob.

He hurts noone, so why do you complain? No harm done, just enjoy your game.

Riot has hinted before that the afk buster uses multiple means of detecting afk players. Even if they are not disconnected they are still tagged by the system as being afk that game.

Just lure the bots into the jungle area in late game and have them kill the turrets with AoE abilities that they target you with.

It probably is bannable, but that doesn't mean it should be. The only complaints I've ever heard about in bot games is, "ksing" and that means the less teammates you have the better. I can 1 v 5 intermediate bots as long as they don't have some crazy amount of on click ranged cc, so I really doubt his teammates care, and more importantly, if they do, they need to get over theirselves. This game takes a ridiculous amount of time to get to 30, let alone have enough ip to play ranked with two runepages, so I really don't blame this heimerdinger.

AND NO ONE CLEARED GOLEMS EVER

OR SAW HEIMER CHILLING BEHIND RED

EVER

BESIDES THAT IF YOU KILLED HIM AND HE RESETS HIS CAMP WELL THATS HIS PLAYSTYLE AND THATS NOT A BANNABLE OFFENSE

You can do this with teemo + cinderhulk too, works quit well.

However i dont think this should be bannable, riot shouldnt make smurfing such a drag -_-
