Remove "Leaver Penalty" for Bots

Remove the leaver penalty for bots game. I use bots games to test my connection, and sometiems it doesn't always work right and i get penalized. Custom games don't offer the same level of testing that bots games do, as there is no other person to connect to. I can run custom games 100% ok with poor connection as my computer is the only one really connecting. Bots games provide a more true method of testing your connection and if you happen to lag out or disconnect for another reason, it is not as damaging as a real pvp game. Penalites for bots games should be removed, esp considering i can 1v5 the beginner bots so it puts no one at a time loss disadvantage.

that's a honestly great idea

I agree and disagree, but you could hide the DC as a human team victory. Don't just dodge a bot game cuz you know your connection works though. Not good for the new players.

Nah this idea is lame. Don't penalize anyone else for your connection tests. If you want to test, play a custom game. That is the way to go for sure. That way nobody gets screwed. There are a lot of new players that play bots and it is not cool to ruin their experience.
