There should be an extra bot game mode for smurfs!

Bot games are the best possibility for new players to get to lvl 30, but smurfs, especially the flaming, insulting and killstealing kind, are making that time of leveling hard for those.

If they had their own mode, it would have the following advantages:

  • experienced players could play with experienced players and wouldn't have to insult others because they're incapable (since they are new); it would be a better experience for the smurfs also
  • new players wouldn't be tormented with insults all the time (yes, it depends on the person how you react to it, but it still feels bad)
  • new players could have a better experience of the game if smurfs wouldn't carry the game in 10 minutes with newbies in the team having a count of 0/3/0 for instance (and thus, gaining less xp for this game)

Of course it would be hard to control whether the "mean" kind of smurfs especially still played the normal, newbie bot games (some people just enjoy picking on others), but I think it's an idea worth considering.

Sorry for the long post, have a potato and thanks for reading :D

What you are seeing is people who are trying to force their win of the day, and it seems to be the most reliable way.

If you want newer teammates set your game mode to easy.

I'd imagine all of the leveling bots would just play in that mode.

Small problem: crushing weaker players is one of the big reasons people smurf in the first place.

Is this really a problem? That just means they will play more games before accidentally thinking "LUL time for ranked hehe xd" and feeding down to bronze V, ruining their MMR just like I did few years ago.
