People rushing bot games

I know, I know, I'm complaining about a bot game. Cue the eye roll please.

Let me be clear, I understand people generally want to get their "First Win of the Day" quick or raise their smurf level to whatever level they want really fast but if you're playing a bot game, especially intermediate, don't expect everyone to corporate and then be toxic about it. Beginners is fine, that's where people generally go to rush but in intermediate? Come on, that's like starting normal and saying, "hey guys, I have to leave in 20 minutes, let's make this quick".

I always play intermediate bot games first thing I get on to get first win without worrying about losing in normal games. However, I also want to take my time, relax and get into the groove before starting normal. But it really annoys me when the first thing I see in the champion select, "hey guys, let's make this quick, all mid!" or in TT "all bot, let's end by 7 minutes." And if I don't corporate, "report him please" or I get flamed at after they give up begging me to help end it fast.

I completely agree here! I use bots to practice a champions mechanics without pressure. I'd like to know all of the ins and outs as well as effective builds and do a little experimentation but everyone just wants to rush the nexus. to them i say PLAY NORMALS.

The goal of this mode is for practice. and some of us need more time to play the mode

Yeah, I always found those people rather weird. For me too, I usually use bot matches for first win of the day, practicing some csing and trying new champions. Then at 15 minutes some guy who has done nothing all game with low CS and a low k/d suddenly demands the game to end after 20 minutes. If you want to do it quick that's fine, but do it yourself. Let others play how they want.

I don;t really play bots that much but if Im like 40 ip from something and I don't wanna play a 40 minute normal I'd rather go do a 15 minute bot game. I typically do just push my lane as fast as possible but usually bot games aren't longer than 15 mins anyways, in my experience at least.
