Jungler Courtesy in Bots Games

Yes, I realize most people here don't care about bots games. Still, there are veterans who play bots games occasionally, to get first win of the day or to test out a champion or to just relax.

• Junglers are unnecessary in bots games. Having two players top lane is common. The bots don't have junglers. They run two champions top lane. Now, there's nothing wrong with playing a jungler in bots games. People need to practice jungling too. Just keep in mind that either top or bottom lane will have a player going up against two champions solo, and that player may be a newbie. That lane might need help early and often.

• If you ask for a leash, don't be surprised if teammates don't know what you mean. There are often newbies playing, after all. Teaching newbies the basics is what the bots games are there for.

• If while leashing the other player kills your monster, again keep in mind that there are often newbies playing. I recommend politely telling such players what they did wrong.

• It would be a good idea to avoid asking a leash from somebody who is soloing top or bottom lane. You get your XP, but the laner then falls behind when facing two enemy champions. If the laner is experience, there may be no problem, but a newbie could face a tougher struggle.

• In fact, it may not be a bad idea to start In a lane and get some CS before heading into the jungle, rather than asking for a leash. An inexperienced player facing two champions will probably appreciate the help.
