A player purposely extending the duration of the game for more IP and XP.

NvestmentPlanker·Nov 7, 2016·4 votes·778 views

Please tell me this is a punishable offense. Due to this player never grouping and telling the enemy team in all chat to extend the game, our game lasted a good 15 minutes longer than it should have. The enemy team had a player afk when we were already winning by a decent amount and we had their base open by 20 minutes yet this game went just over 42 minutes because our most farmed/fed player refused to group and end the game and was urging the enemy team to fend us off to in order to keep the game going.

Meh nothing against the rules to draw out matches.

NvestmentPlankerNov 8, 20161 votes

there should be. clear cut win and this kid stops helping us and in fact teleports away from us just to draw the game out for "more IP/XP". even though the rest of us want to win. literally added on 15 minutes

Its not against the ToS, its just a hindrance

Just tell him that's really stupid and he doesn't know basic math, you get more with 2 games than 1 long one.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with drawing a game out. Ever.

when it's a clear cut win, and this player isnt' grouping to help end because he wants more IP and XP, yes there is. everyone on our team was asking him to group and he ignored us. so much so that when we went to toplane where he was farming, he used his teleport to go to bot lane.

No there isn't anything wrong with it. Play the game however you want to play it. If you're not being a dick to other people there's nothing wrong with it.

So in your world, purposely refusing to group to prolong endgame isn't being a dick to your teammates?

Your logic is flawless.

No, it isn't. Being a dick about it however... that's not ok.

Play the game however you want to play it.

But the other four players want to end the game. Who gets their desire, the four for victory or the one for prolonging it?

Not ending the game when the other four members of your team do is being a dick.

Actually yes it is. And many a game has actually been lost because for one reason or another, some dick wanted to prolong the game.

There's nothing wrong with a different strategy that may or may not help the team. It's purely a different strategy.

you play around him then, he's split pushing, so you push in a different lane at the same time as him, force them to defend the tower separately and force a fight to win. ESP if you are already winning and have a lead.

or you can zzportal / banner of command other lanes aand move along with him.

You don't need to group to finish a game. what you need is to learn how to pressure / zone and close out games.

btw, winning games faster gets you more IP/ XP, loosing long games nets you more IP/ XP cos it shows you are capable of defending.

if your team wants to end and you don't and refuse to help them it's refusing to communicate

also it's silly because it's literally what those 4 want, to turtle, to farm up and to have a single good teamfight late game to quickly push you down

It probably is if they keep doing it? IDK, never seen anyone do that other than in coop vs AI for the optimal ip/time spent (which is 21 minutes) during a double xp weekend.

I mean if this is something to be punished then I will be heart broken. Nothing wrong with encouraging the enemy to not roll over because that's not fun for anyone.

Not reportable. There's nothing that says they have to group in the ToS. The player is allowed to try to complete his entire build to see how effective it is for example or whatever he wants to do (maybe trying to get an S).

Ulquiorra995Nov 8, 20161 votes

Depends on the circumstances, really. In most of them it's a dick move but not reportable. However, if 4 people want to finish and one dick refuses it should count as refusing to communicate for obvious reasons - and of course if that behavior loses the game it's assisting enemy team.

If there were 4 of you wanting to end and the end was actually available, you don't need to 5th to do it. I have won many a 4v5 as well as solo ended games for teams that don't know how to end.

It is pretty common for that to happen in low elo
