SotO and MS in Co-op vs. AI.

LeaveNotThyBed·Nov 8, 2014·2 votes·577 views

This has been posted many times and is prolly a stupid post, but I'd like to state my thoughts on these two items in bot games. I believe these two items are horrible for the Co-op vs. AI experience; new players don't do anything, players that want to try new builds or practice mechanics with a champ and etc. end up finishing the game before they get to really do anything, and overall it just ruins the Co-op vs. AI experience. I would love for these two items to be removed- they are horrible items to have, and while I could elaborate further, I'm really lazy. Unfortunately, there is one issue with them being removed at the moment and that's due to the ridiculous number of people botting. The other day I made a fresh account and had a team of three botters and someone that decided to feed intentionally for whatever reason. Needless to say, it was a pain in the arse finishing that game up. I had to buy Sword of the Occult to win the match (because I'm bad). A 1v5 against 5 fed bots is not fun.

Tl;dr I'd love to see these items removed. You don't need stacks to get your first win of the day- if anything, it's just more incentive to prolong the game for the full stacks. And believe it or not, carrying noobs with Mejai's and going 50-0 while sitting in their lane babysitting them isn't actually fun for the noobs. These items ruin the Co-op vs. AI experience.

I completely agree. Though I don't play Co-Op vs AI anymore, most of the games I have played were ruined by someone rushing mejai's/occult and walking around the map 2 shotting everything. Everyone else in the game gets no gold, no items, and it's just a lame experience.

These items were designed to be a significant risk and there's NO RISK AT ALL in Co-Op vs AI. You can win every time without stupidly overpowered items, so "I like to stomp bots" is hardly an excuse to keep them... they're going to get stomped anyway.

Most people in Co-OP vs AI will one shoot everybody even if they don't buy the items. Also if you get no gold and items because somebody is killing bots over and over again... then learn to CS

I don't think you understand what an exaggeration is.

You're still not going to be done with your second item by the time the scumbag with the stack item has a 6 item build, regardless of how hard you CS.

Actually you will, after like 5 kills CS will give you more gold than that douchebag will get with pentakills because the game will reduce the gold he gets from kills because he already has a ton of kills and he is killing bots that are a ton of levels below him.

How did he get 6 items anyway? Most of my bot games end at like 12 min with everybody with their second item.

Yeah it's not, bots are too easy to kill even when fed 1v5. They need to be harder. I don't understand the logic of needing to buy SotO or MS, you need to kill them to gain stacks, and if you are getting stacks you can already beat them without the item.

SotO and MS just need to be removed from the game altogether, i'm sick and tired of 0/10 Kat and Luxes building it in my ranked promos.

I did state that I'm bad. I can understand wanting them removed, although I didn't have anyone buying these items, just feeding, raging, and afking. I just played my first ranked match, here's the results (Oops forgot I can't have their names on there): http://imgur.com/9jL16Wi They're not bad items, it's just the people using them that are the issue. As you stated, buying the items when 0-10 or something stupid is dumb and I've no idea why people do it so much.

I guess a 0/5 Kass and TF buying them in LCS and Worlds has something to do with it since people are sheep. I'm surprised Riot hasn't even banned these pro players for obviously throwing esport games.

No, you won't, because the dude hogging all of the kills is going to be CSing 10 times faster than everybody else as well. Do you even play this game or do you just come to forums to spew nonsense and argue?
