Please excuse the length of this post, however there needs to be clarification for the point I'm trying to convey.
Those with short attention spans, and snide remarks, should stop about.... now.

The reason why I came to this conclusion? please read before replying.
I'd suggest a RESTRICTION for Level 30 to Intermediate bots.

Saying how it will stop your epic fast quick first win of the day and 30+ kills in under 20 minute games as a level 30 summoner in beginning bots, and trolling because of this isn't needed or required. Thank you very much.

Dear Riot / Player's

Recently I have been levelling my Summoner, mostly in beginning bots mode and also with several PvP matches.
I've noticed a large number of level 30's playing beginning bots. It's like 2 out of 3 matches some days. These level 30, I'd guess, it's for their first win of the day. Or perhaps it's the cheap thrill as they run around getting "Pentakill!" the whole game.

It often appears to be all about them, and what these level 30 get from this mode, multiple Penta's and quick First win the day. Sort of like, everyone else trying to learn, gets carried, er yay, but what did they learn? There's few bots left to kill even some games!

So, not much learning for these new players happening in reality.
Perhaps other than "Oh! I cant wait until I'm level 30" goes through a new Summoners mind. Thinking level 30 will also make them LoL Gods, but without a valid skill set to back it up.

So these level 30, in beginning bots, aren't really helping the newbies learn, aren't contributing anything but a carry. ***Note I've rarely even seen one of these level 30's even offer a basic tip, in chat. They are there to get first win the day kill as much as they can and bail. Largely not help the team other than to perhaps push another lane at most. So saying level 30 in Beginning bots they help, by suggesting tactics on the whole doesn't really ring true at all. I'm not saying you personally don't offer tips, in this mode, there maybe any number of helpful players, and perhaps even you do. What I am stating is only my observations so far.

If they pushed into level 30 in intermediates bots, but say beginners could still go to intermediate for advanced training with level 30 at least their would be an option. At the current time beginners are forced to play with 30's, that just wreck the baby bots. All the while the beginners jaws drop and they learn essentially nothing.

If level 30, including Silvers and Golds, that I have seen in beginning bot games, could stop ... step back a minute, see the big picture. Consider that they might, or at least in part, have some influence on the game play / skill of those newer players levelling to 30, in an outcome which isn't entirely positive.

Instead of "penta noobing", when you certainly are not a beginner. The reality is you're affecting and stunting these learning players development.
"Carrying noob's", "I'm doing them a favour". Well are you really now... Actually carrying learners, in baby bots, it's not needed...

If new players didn't hold that lane, then the turrets will fall, if they don't shop at the right time, or if they all go one lane when it's the first turret down, then the beginning bots will push through in another lane, or dealing with minion waves, farming under turrets etc... Let beginners lose...

Beginning bot's, It's learning consequences.. why's and how to's. However a level 30 motivations are entirely different for being in this mode. It's learning mode. Let new players learn!

If you are level 30 and trying out a new champ, then do a custom game. I care as much about how much IP you get from a custom game, as you care about the other FOUR players not learning, whom you're negatively influencing, however unintentional that might be, in beginning bots. But what in the Voids name! are you doing in baby bots!

Some 30's may protest they are helping a friend learn the game... Make a new account then, rather than coming in with full set of Masteries and Runes and top tier champ's. Lazy. It might also make you appreciate the learners path too, as game change's season on season.

Now everyone can hate on me or say w.e you think, try to justify why you think this is a such a extremely bad idea, or make incorrect statements how I must be salty over something.

The higher Tier / Level players can make silly comments over how this guy is going on about Beginning bots, sure, sure yawn. Justify w.e thought process you think is appropriate. But would they criticise the very building blocks, the beginning level training which has a major impact on a players eventual skill level, or lack there of, and those they may very well be playing with or against.

I am critiquing the fact that levels 30's allowed in Beginning Bots, is outta order. The level itself appears to be good, for beginners.

I'd end this novel with, that's an eventual outcome of a better quality player, even if 1% level 30 summoner improvement, at the end of it all, would result in an improved OCE sever. Ultimately with more enjoyment and for a new season / generation of higher skilled, as they reach for level 30, players.

Respect the code.

I read the whole thing and I have to say this post is incredibly selfish.

Your main issue is that levl 30 players are going into bot games and killing the bots to much and you don't like that because.. ... ... you think it makes learning the game harder for newer players?

I really do not know where to begin with this.

Lets start with the bot mode. Its not there soley to teach new players how to play. Its a general easy going mode that everyone is free to enjoy regardless of rank or level and serves for many other purposes.

Examples.

  1. helps relieve tilt. If i am tilted and on a losing streak i find bots will help me regain my focus and composure.

  2. first win of the day. You cant get that with custom games. At least you never used to be able to. If i am short 150 ip for the new champ and my first win is up i would rather play a 10 min bot game rather then a 40 min pvp game.

  3. trying new champs. Yes this can be done in customs but in order to really learn a new champ you have to play him in a proper team enviorment. Bots as allys wont provide that.

  4. playing with new friends. No i wont make a new account to teach my friends how to play. That would be counter productive and i personally am anti smurf. New players need to learn how to be on a functoning team and have a team of bots in custom games is not going to teach anyone that essintial. On top of that with my level 30 account i can demonstrate champs they might be interested in seeing. Also see number 3.

you critasize lvl 30s for "penta noobing" which translate into getting penta kills on bots. The fact that you phrase it like hints to me that there may be a touch of salt and jealosy behind your issue you here. On top of that i learned to play lol by watching lvl 30s do jeat stuff in bots on my team. New players really looking to learn will ask question and most people who arent toxic will be glad to answer them. They key here is to ask as just blindly giving out advice seems rude to most people.

In the end Bots is just that. Bots and you should not be taking it as seriously as you are. Its like you went to the public gym, saw people bench pressing more then you and now you want them to leave and go make their own gym because of it.

I get where your kinda coming from...

I play Blade and soul of my off times of league and We get high levels in that game just recking everything in the Legendary dungeons.

but it isn't just that, they reck what they need but leave everything else to us.. Keeping up with them is a pain and we don't have the HP to do so..


If you really want advice just ask for it. Many people will be happy to help.** I learned a lot from videos**
