Update on Teemo Cheese Kills Being Marked as AFK for Remake

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in and reaching out! I checked out the games, and you aren't participating well after minions have engaged on the Rift. While cheesing a kill is great, prolonging it further than necessary is detrimental to the team. In one of your games, there wasn't any interaction with anything on the Rift till 3 minutes in (over a minute since minions hit the lanes). Since you weren't interacting with the game, this is considered AFK.

If you have any other questions or concerns, let me know.

Note: I removed the Rioter's selected name to avoid naming and blaming. Above is the response to my Support ticket about my relatively recent issue with the game marking you as AFK for Remake if you are standing still as Teemo for a prolonged period of time. Let me begin. Ok, first of all, I was interacting with the game. I was in lane absorbing XP and, due to Masteries, gaining gold. While not directly impcting through damage, I am interacting with the game. Second of all, if I end up getting First Blood at the cost of the first 1-2 waves of minions, how is that hurting my team? I will continue to have this discussion, but I wanted to post this here to state one thing.

If Teemo's Passive can result in you being marked as AFK, this is a warning to other Teemo players that you run the chance of being marked as AFK by Remake if you plan on trying early cheese kills that involve prolonged invisibility through Camouflage.
