Low Priority for Bot Game

iH4V0K··1 votes·644 views

So I was playing this quick bot game for first day of the win but I had something to take care of. When I came back the game was over and I was put in low priority. This doesn't really make sense to me. Why should I be punished for leaving a bot game? It's not like the team actually needs me to win the game. And the last time i leaved a game was when I had internet issues 3 days ago, so why do I still have low priority?

It's still a game and you deserve to be punished regardless if team needs you or not. Don't play any type of game unless you can commit to the full time

I wouldn't play if I knew this would occur. It was unexpected, like I said.

it's stated clearly that leaving game will be punished...doesn't say only pvp games. Bot games are still games

Sounds like you are taking advantage of the game a bit to try to bypass the grind to get IP.

Can you blame me? I'm level 20 and I only have 4 champions.

Well, that can be seen as cheating. It is very close to using a third party software to do the grinding for you. It is also unfair for your teammates to be doing the grinding for you.

So playing bot games for first win of the day is cheating? So wouldn't half the playerbase or something be banned then?

I didn't say playing a bot game is cheating. Holy moly. We were talking about you going into a bot game and going afk.

playing a bot game for first win of the day IP isn't cheating...it's something everyone has done. If riot was so against it, then they wouldn't have a bot game win count towards it.

I didn't even say that. Read above^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh sorry I misread it. I think if you leave and let teammates finish game you don't get the IP right?

You are correct. I suspect that he doesn't outright leave most games though. A lot of people play bots, go afk, and then come back every now and then to make sure that they do not get kicked out of the game. I have over 2.2k bot games now and have seen it a whole lot.

That is what makes me go ewww.
