League of Legends Match History

So I was playing a bot game with the new Swain to try him out. The game went pretty fast and I wanted my team to slow down because I wanted to try out some ability combos and see how much damage I can deal and how much my R can heal during Zhonya's. Then there was this guy who played Vayne and he wanted to end fast because he was only playing a bot game for the first win of the day reward. After the game we chatted a bit about that he doesn't care about fun and imo a game is only there to have fun. This is the post-game chat:

Removed left the lobby Player A: Look kid Kubotech left the lobby Player A: I'm here to win fas Player A: fast Player A: Not to waste my time Player A: I don't care about having fun Ninja0Heaven: Never play a game that you don't have fun with Player A: Dude Player A: I study economy Ninja0Heaven: If you don't care about fun don't play a game Player A: I don't care about having fun Ninja0Heaven: Do your job then Ninja0Heaven: Games are made to have fun Ninja0Heaven: literally Player A: No Player A: Everything is made to win Removed left the lobby Player A: That's what you learn studying Wall Street Ninja0Heaven: That's the only reason why games exist: fun Player A: Skill Player A: Ego Ninja0Heaven: You should not play this game srsly. Player A: give me a reason Ninja0Heaven: Sry, there was a missing comma Player A: Do you think proffesionals plays for fun? xD Ninja0Heaven: You should not play this game, srsly. Player A: They play to win Player A: As easy as that Player A: Reported Ninja0Heaven: wtf? Player A: You didn't want to end Player A: So, reported Ninja0Heaven: I wanted to have fun in a game. That's prohibited now or what? Ninja0Heaven: It is a freaking bot game. Player A: It's against the rules to don't want to end Ninja0Heaven: Expect this in a bot game. Player A: As I said Ninja0Heaven: Are you serious right now? Player A: Against the rules Player A: I'm always Ninja0Heaven: I will post this on boards and ask Rioters. Player A: You can't Ninja0Heaven: Why can't I? Player A: At least, you can't post my name or the chat Ninja0Heaven: Why not? Player A: Read the rules Player A: Riot's policy Ninja0Heaven: I will just copy-paste what we are writing here. Player A: You cannot publish my name Player A: or screenshot Ninja0Heaven: It's not against the rules to publish ones summoner name wtf. Player A: Yes it is Ninja0Heaven: It's about the real name. Player A: Nope Player A: Publish it Player A: It will be deleted in no time Player A: I learnt it by experience Ninja0Heaven: I will even give you a link if you add me to your friends list and remind me. Player A: Don't need it Player A: Just have to search you by name Player A: And report your post Ninja0Heaven: You can report me on boards then so it can get deleted. Player A: That's what I'm going to do Ninja0Heaven: Okay, CU, bye. Player A: aha Player A: I guess you'll enjoy the boards bann Player A left the lobby

So, if any Rioter can pls look at this and tell me if he is right? Can I get bad for playing to test things in a bot game when the win is sure anyway? Does this count as inting?

Names cannot be shared. Next time don't publish it with the chat and you'll have no problems

Hey,

Naming other people on the Boards is not allowed in a negative light as that is considered Naming and Shaming which is a violation of the Universal Rules. I've gone ahead and edited out the offender's name from the chat since without the names, there is nothing wrong with this thread. For the record, he is correct that you can't name him, but he is incorrect in saying you'll get a Boards ban from it. You have to break the rules several times before a ban is issued for things like this. If you are ever told something regarding Boards rules that you are not sure about, feel free to come and chat with us on the Discord and we'll be glad to explain and clarify for you.

To answer your question, no you are not going to be banned for doing poorly in a bot match and/or requesting to not end yet. There is nothing in the rules that says that not wanting to end in a bot match is against the rules. He was wrong to report you and false reports can lead to getting into trouble. Bot matches are for practicing and that's what you were doing, practicing. In the future, you could try using the practice tool, but I personally understand that playing in bot matches helps make the transition to PvP a bit smoother. He sounds like he's a bit salty about not finishing uber fast for his first win, that's all. You should keep in mind that when you are in bots, you are with others, so always ask, don't try to force them not to end, and try to be a team player. Either way, you're fine so relax and move on.

You'll meet a few people like that in bots sometimes, they're few and far between, but they are annoying to deal with sometimes. All you can do is respond calmly and not feed their advances

I actually met one of my best friends in a bot game where they were pretending to be toxic, and I just kept responding as if they were talking normally and he ended up being a really cool dude :) Just goes to show that not all enemies will always be enemies, just takes a good response to turn someone around.
