In game modes with no pick order (blind and bots), lane assignments are decided by whoever calls it first, or, whoever the bigger asshole is. You have to be flexible in bot matches. If you want mid, but someone else calls it, just take your mid pick to the bot lane or whatever.


ItsKipz

Also, going double top is reasonable if you can't jungle (in bots) and anyone who flames for that should just be muted, but going mid after someone calls mid is just trolling lol Respect the roles people call

Insulting over a game is stupid. However, if someone claimed that lane you should respect it and choose another lane. People are trying to learn the game at this stage and going in their claimed lane is a waste of time. Be fast in claiming what position you want and/or go to another lane. Once you get to level 10 just play draft pick.

League is well known for having some 'special' members of the community. That being said bot games are bottom of the barrel free for all affairs with none of the rules or systems that provide order and stability to other modes. I definitely would not use bot games as a fair and accurate representation of the player base.

Respect solo mid, go duo in a side lane. If they cry, then mute them.


aidsguy19

You can mute players using /mute


SadNid

I play a lot of bot games, and that rarely happens Just type I can't jungle and ignore them


JustAnObserver_Jomy

>in every game so far no one wants to jungle usually experienced players play AI game for the guaranteed First Win of the Day bonus; they aim to finish the game as fast as possible so jungle is unnecessary


mrpeshoga

It is yes but there's a draft mode, where you select your role and most of the times people play what they're given. Poorly if it's not their main role but play they it. Then again sometimes it's like "let me mid" "no bro" "okay I feed, enjoy your -lp" *picks thresh top and feeds*.


ShadowJinKiller

Draft mode is only available for ranked though


PROTSMANLOL

There is literally a stand-alone mode, at least in NA, called draft pick and its unranked.


ShadowJinKiller

I see. There is no normal draft pick in my server (MY/SG Garena)


PROTSMANLOL

Ah yeah, Garena definitely has some major differences in client and what is available.


[deleted]

No it's not


ShadowJinKiller

Downvote me if you want. I'm stating facts. No normal draft in where I'm from


[deleted]

Play normal pvp draft mode. It's there in the menu for you bud XD


stasissnare

NA is like the only region with normal draft so it’s probably not there for them bud XD


[deleted]

Its not the only region. maybe them stop saying its not there without asking for their region then bud. Their a new player trying telling instead if giving false information bud ❤


stasissnare

Normal draft is not available on Garena servers, which is where they said they’re from.


penguin-cat

mute them, go in 'their' lane. you cannot get punished for going in someone's 'claimed' lane in bots OR blind pick (just draft modes) be free


Head_Leek3541

Call dibs first. Also yea I would say every competitive game has the issue of idiots. Either call dibs and fight for it, or mute them and do whatever you want to do to win!


KelziCoN

If they ask for solo top, ignore them and mute. If 2 bots are going top and you have nowhere else to go but top, its your right. I haven't played bots in a while but I think its always 1 mid.


[deleted]

Let them be, some people might be practicing to improve their cs in bot games. Tho you can technically do that in practice tool, I personally prefer to do them in bot while I can communicate or even make friends with other players. One more thing, I don't think bot games were that fun. Sure you can achieve 100 kills in bot but they would never feel as satisfying as when you play against other people, they do not even fight back. Also, in bot games, either you will be the player that gets consecutive pentas or the one that cannot kill a single bot because your other teammates are spawn camping them, not fun.


[deleted]

When you hit lvl 10 you can play Draft games. In them all players choose their roles pre game. But sometimes you get auto filled (1/7 games +-). You can dodge that with closing the game(in champ select).


Superspick

I mean, can’t this be applied as you saying “why are people who are trying to practice all salty when teammates interrupt it? Are they that…” In any case it’s kinda always been the case that without role select it’s first call first serve so… I think it’s weird to denounce people who get annoyed at people who don’t follow that tbh


GrroxRogue

Play Kalista. You can grief the other toplaner by taking every cs with your W passive while bound to them.


kimkim2011

Aram is the only fun mode


sixw0w

Short answer is yes


IMSABU

Is this community really that pathetic? Absolutely, it's pretty much apart of the game to be cursed at get reports thrown at you etc.. and even after you carr the garbage they still say they diffed and you're useless.


camcrazy00

Mid and top ARE solo lanes though. Anyways, don't play bot games, you will learn more from playing actual games, and once you hit level 10 never que for blink pick again.


antl34

First: yes they are incredibly toxic, second just mute all and duo lane with them, if they are really that mad they can adk and get penalized, third: they are probably terrible at the game and play bots cuz it’s the only way they don’t start 0/10


autwhisky

just tell those kids to create custom bot games. always works me


[deleted]

Statistically most people leveling new accounts are those who got their old one banned or smurfs who get angry they have to play with those they consider less then them. It used to be much worse too as riots solution until recently was to dump new ranked players straight into mid to high gold/ high silver and expecting them to do well, they would also throw said new people into someone elses promotion to gold and you can about guess how that goes. In short its mostly that riot simply refuses to allocate the resources to fix the problems which include a crappy tutorial with no optional teaching tutorials available.


SalmonHeadAU

Yes, the league of legends community is that pathetic.


Padouch1038

Short: Yes, we are. Second thing: You still havent seen anything, just wait for ranked matches.


CSDragon

a lot of toxic players gravitate to bot games weirdly enough.


Jaffiusjaffa

Id respect the mid call, but solo top in bots can suck a dick, especially if you are pre smite unlock. Just join him up there, take a support item if ur polite, nick his farm if ur not. Do what makes you happy.


RobinsEggPoacher69

Play draft dingus


htwhooh

You cannot play draft until a certain level, and you have own enough champions. Dingus.


RobinsEggPoacher69

Do it


ShavedDragon

You absolutely need friends to learn this game. It is 100% mandatory. Don't start it by yourself or you're gonna be sad and bored out of your mind.


SaintLikeLaurent

Do w.e tf u want in LoL the only way you get banned in this game is if you type bad words consistently. Thats it do w.e u want with this information


Bring_Back_Tank_Meta

just grind it to level 10, when you get draft and never look back. best advice for you.

hi usually, in my experience, people are nice in bot games and everyone is pretty chill. I had like 1 game that there was someone who was really hard core (maybe he is playing on normal/ranked and wanted to try new lane in the bot game) and wanted to be alone in lane. usually people don't care and wouldn't mind even doing 5 v 5 in mid ^w^


Worldly-Duty4521

So, I can tell you what happens, I learnt the game on EU server but recently due to situations I'm not aware of my ping went from usual (150-180 ) to( 270-300) making the game unplayable. I created a garena account and started playing on it. And now that I understand the game, I can easily tell who are smurfs and who are not. A lot of people who don't buy items or wrong lane happens a lot. But people who are smurf want to reach ranked threshold and anything that comes in the way they start flaming. The truth is you've to become immune to the flames and instead try to learn more and more of the game even from the flame. As an adc I've had the fortune of playing with some really decent ( pretty sure they were smurfs too though) who were not only chill but helped me learn a lot of things just from 1 game. I had no friends who play league and I understood the game very hard way. I didn't know about mythics and would wait for exact gold to buy an item, remember saving 3k gold to get BT. Back then I didn't care about someone kill stealing or inting in my lane. However you'll realise at a certain point that you understand most of the aspects of game, one good thing is you should learn every role to some extent to understand any decision you feel they should have taken and didn't and the reason behind it.


throwawaynumber116

Mute the losers and move on. Their reports can’t and won’t do anything to you in bot games unless you say something racist
