open mid: bannable?

shyv··2 votes·2,602 views

something that i do often when i play with my friends

if we're having a shit game and we know there's no comeback, or if we just don't care enough and want to quit league and go play a better different game, we just /all open mid and leave

we do this a lot, but we've never been caught by the afk detection system or anything

is it against the rules to open mid if everyone on the team agrees to it? i don't see the point in waiting around for 20 minutes.

i don't understand why you commented if you have no useful information

i don't care about this game anymore, i quit games often, me and my friends love playing games together but we rarely ever enjoy league so most of the time we just go "fuck it, let's go play smite" and leave.

i don't care and i don't feel bad about it at all so i'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish

If you didn't care about this game you wouldn't be crying on the boards. You're an idiot.

"Since season 5 when it was a good game"

poor guy you should have played in S3 when it was actually a good game.

For your actual point there is no problem opening mid if your whole team agrees.

I mean If EVERYONE on your team agree's with it im sure its fine... I recommend the "we will comeback strat", but if u want to play that way EVERYONE on your team has to agree. that way its fair.

If someone reports you that game it will flag it and can lead to punishment. Even as a 5 man premade if the enemy reports you for it you can still be punished as it is still ruining the game for another player and you are in fact afk/assisting the enemy team/negative attitude.

If you can't wait for the 20 mins

is it against the rules to open mid if everyone on the team agrees to it? i don't see the point in waiting around for 20 minutes.

you should not have queued for the game. If you had no intention of finishing the game don't queue.

If I'm ever on the winning side of one of those games and the other team "open mid"s and then afks, I'll be reporting all five of them for leaving the game. I'll never have to worry about that though, because I'm garbage.

As long as you are playing with 4 friends and you all agree then I don't see the problem with it. However, if you are only a 3 or 4 man premade and people who aren't in your premade are against it then yeah its a bannable offense.

well yea it's a dick move if everyone doesn't agree

It's ALWAYS a bannable offense. The enemy team can still report you even if your own team agrees, and if they do (and if I'm on the enemy team, I'm reporting you for open mid), you will be banned.

I mean... I wouldn't actually afk.. otherwise eventually you will be caught. But ye i think its allowed if everyone on your team agrees.

shyv1 votes

we afk but we move around every couple of minutes so the system never picks up on it

If all 5 agree, then there won't be anyone to report you nor would there even be a legitimate reason to, since the entire team agreed the best strategy is opening mid.

Open Mid is alright as long as:

  • Before 20 Minutes, otherwise just surrender
  • EVERYONE agrees, including any 5th wheel randoms if you are in a 4-que
  • You do not actually leave the match, which will be caught up in Leaverbuster.

If you have the entire team agree to it, then okay. But be warned that even a false report from the other team (for whatever reason) may be enough to get you and your teammates punished.
