Can you be punished for buying 6 tears of the godess at the VERY end of a game????

I'm wondering cuz I kinda want to do it just for fun, but of-course only when it doesn't matter. I'm talking about like 10 seconds before the game ends with my friends.

I can't tell if you are being cute at the end or if you gave up and lost us the previous teamfight due to 6 tears. I just don't check tab enough for that.

So I advice against it either way

I did it once when we were at their nexus and I was dead and we were about to win. My idiot teammates decided instead of attacking the nexus they would pad their KDA some more and they all died.

We still won that game, but it was very hard to do with 6 tears. I'd advise to just not to it honestly.

Technically you can't be punished for building 6 tears in game, you can be punished for not working with your team to win, but the build itself isn't what you get punished for. Swapping over at the end of the game is completely harmless, I personally do it as a joke whenever I am dead and they are going to win before I respawn.

A troll build like that is actually a very easy way to tell the system you are intentionally throwing the game. Do not ever do it, I have seen many people punished for doing that and the game lasts a few more minutes than they expected.

And if I am going to respawn in time then I can just hit the undo button a bunch. The rules clearly state that doing such isn't prohibited. If you receive punishment for that then a support ticket and a Rioter looking at the game would clearly show that there are no grounds for punishment. A view of the game isn't even necessary as the online match recording system can clearly show the time at which each item was bought, and it is easy to prove that the time of your death overlaps the end of the game, and it was only after your death that you bought 6 tears.

Playing with such a build can be considered to fall under a number of different rules, but the items themselves are not grounds for a punishment.

As it stands I do it for the laughs it gets out of people. If Riot sees me selling my items and buying joke items beyond the point where items are useful for winning the game (AKA death) and punishes me then a support ticket would quickly clear such a thing up. You might say not to risk it, but the fact is that I am perfectly willing to risk having an account go through processing for the opportunity to make some people laugh, which it does do.

Heck, I may have spent more money on my LoL account than most things I own, but if I am not willing to risk having that be permanently banned over a misunderstanding for the opportunity to add a few extra laughs into the lives of strangers then I wouldn't be happy with who I am.


As it stands though there are no grounds for punishing people for switching over to 6 tears when you are dead and the game is about to end so long as, if you do come back up in time, you refund your items.

I'm not talking about instances where you just buy and refund them.

However that was what I specified in my original comment I was talking about, and that is what the OP was asking about.

You may think there are 10 seconds left in the game, but if you become unable to refund them and suddenly the game goes on longer the situation changes significantly. There is no guarantee what you are talking about goes your way, which is why I am considering the other options.

So to be 100% clear, I can buy them when I die and just refund them? The worst that could happen is I get punished cuz the system thinks 'I be trollin, they hatin' and I would have to make a support ticket to have a human see that it wasn't troll and reverse it. And I am guaranteed to have it reversed cuz I did nothing wrong. Correct?

Well said.

just don't, if someone reports you, all riot will see is the six tears, it's likely they won't waste time to see that you actually built items and don't assume you trolled all game since you had 6 tears

The tribunal AI will think you are trolling if people report you for it a lot, I wouldn't risk it.

I can't believe someone actually has small enough balls to ask this question, what a beta.

Weak comment bro. Go boost your ego elsewhere. True Alpha carries his brethren, not put them down.
