Leave buster on BOTS!!

Iittala·4/6/2016, 3:18:01 AM·3 votes·541 views

I was playing a bot game to warm up and to make sure my computer was going to cooperate. I know my computer isn't perfect and I do overheat occasionally. I overheated in a bot game (yes overheating does ocassionally making me a leaver in ranked games, I accept this punishments and am understanding of them)

I'm a level 30 player and have been for years. I got leave bustered for bots ( I know this sentence can't be changed but futures ones should be adjusted) The punishment for afking a bot game is the exact same as afking in ranked.. A bot game at my level only averages about 20 minutes, so this punishment being equivalent to afking during a ranked game that can last a hour, seems extreme.

Leave buster should be less intense in bot games is the point, this punishes new players and players that already know they have issues even more. Bots is a learning and trial experience why is the punishment as extreme as ranked? Yes I can understand the need for punishing this behavior and I am grateful leave busters don't mark you as a toxic player. Can we adjust punishments according to que type?.. (it shouldn't be hard, it'd be simply a QoL update.)

It is adjusted, ranked afks are punished more quickly. It probably treats bots like normal game though. If you want to test something like this, you should enter custom game, they are free or you to leave.

But honestly, they probably should lower penalty on bot games too, at least for leveled up accounts. It's not like AFK in bot game is game ruining or whatever, you just go there to tackle with mechanics or get 40-0-60 score.

To an extent I can understand why they would still have leave buster on for bot games. First off all the queues are probably linked together. So they can't shut it off for one or else it will shut it off on all of them. Second leaving your games shouldn't be something you do. If you cannot commit at least an hour to playing this game (even for bots) then just don't play. But if people were to leave regularly in boys then they would just be under the assumptions that it's fine to do it in other modes!
