Hi, I heard this game was popular so I checked it out yesterday and played two really fun matches with human players. Jinx was fun to play but I had a lot of luck with Lux and using her ultimates to snipe people, I think I'm a natural pro at that. Everything I played with seemed real chill so maybe this game will be a fun place to unwind for 15 minutes.


Edit: The only thing I don't really get is the shop, there's just so many options. I heard stuff about using a guide for a specific character but I'd rather just play whatever Legend I feel like at the time so I don't think it's worth remembering any builds or anything.

Unfortunately you'll soon find that this game is neither chill nor 15 minutes.

I usually only do co-op vs AI when I am not feeling like playing but want the fwotd and there are some cranky weirdos in it with thousands of bot games who yell at you for "kill stealing" or trying to take towers and end the game.

I feel like ARAM is more chill but there are also ARAM tryhard weirdos who rage about team comps and yell at people.

Speaking of characters getting second reworks, when is Fiora getting hers? The vitals thing was a cute idea, but I'm ready to move on. Riot could retune riposte a bit and make that her ult, then give her a new passive and W.

You shut your whore mouth, Fiora is my favourite champion in the game in her current state. She's a lot of fun to play and has more 50/50 matchups (or within the 45/55 range at least) than basically any other top laner. She has counterplay available to her against most things and most champions similar can outplay the Fiora.

Both of these things are true. I have seen some of the most insane hateful poo poo come from a presumably 12 year old playing Yasuo in a bot game because I dared to roam to mid after taking my own tower down. Granted, I intentionally started stealing all of the CS and kills as soon as he started raging, so some of it is my own fault, but I don't understand what triggered the rage fest in the first place.

About the only time I rage in ARAM is when someone builds poo poo like AP Caitlyn when you're on a team with pure magic damage dealers and that was our only AD threat on the team. It turned what could have been an easy 20 minute win into a 45 minute loss when our carries could barely scratch their two tanks who didn't build any armor items.

Yeah, I think fiora as she's tuned now is pretty much gold standard for rewarding good play & counterplay. Pre-nerf not as much, but they definitely nailed the kit's mechanics in the rework. If all reworks are as good as her and poppy ill be happy.

I get people swearing at me often for winning too quickly - if you're ad you can usually burn down towers faster than some people would like. I think a lot of people do bot games to live out their endgame fantasy so it doesn't jive well with getting the game over fast. This is just on TT though - no idea what SR is like.

No, all you have to do is show up in someone elses lane in order to "provoke" these people.

Never played a TT bot game in my life but I remember seeing this all the time when I used to do SR bot games for the daily 150 ip. I'd say about half the time someone says 'don't end' as we're pushing their base by 15 mins, though far fewer people than that actually get pissed about it by the endgame screen.

I assumed it was because people want more IP, but being denied their fantasy makes sense too.

Yeah, like everyone is pointing out, bot game players are angrier about their bot games than people in solo queue are about their ranked matches and I think the general toxicity of solo queue players rank pretty high in the online games leaderboard so that is something.

Yeah, they're all serious. I play one bot game for each new champion I buy so I have about 120 something bot games and the only thing in common I've seen between the NA and BR servers is that people get angry when:

* You go to their lane even if it's a typically duo lane and they want to solo it, disregard the fact there are 3 lanes and 5 players.
* But also get annoyed if you test a jungler because it's making the match slower for them and they want to finish it fast.

And they get impossibly mad when:

* You go to their lane gank and kill a bot. That almost always guarantees an "I'll report you for KS".

It's so bizarre.

I'm new to the game and was playing some bot games to get my bearings - this happened a lot and I wasn't angry, but it didn't seem representative of how the game actually is in PvP. Stopped playing bot games pretty quickly.

There is a pretty big boost to xp (and I think ip) at 20 minutes, so it is a lot more efficient to pay the extra 5 minutes. There definitely are people who get mad about endgame fantasy or ksing or whatever, but anecdotally most of the time I've had it happen it's because of that, especially pre 30.

I'm pretty sure all you guys talking about how bot game players are angry are either full of poo poo or are actually the real assholes. I've done like 300+ bot games with my wife and I literally can't remember anyone getting mad. The "worst" thing I see said is something like questioning why I'm supporting with <champion>. After I explain that "it is a bot game, who cares", that's pretty much the end of it.


Actually no, I do remember someone getting mad. I was playing old burst mage gragas and was absolutely trying to snipe every kill I could.

I've played hundreds of bot games (almost all of which are vs intermediate bots) for my first win of the day and there's almost never anyone who rages. The worst thing I've seen in like 99% of games is "I called x lane" *10 retreat pings*. Assholes exist in any game mode of course but bot players are mostly chill people trying to get some quick ip or learn a new champion.

Here's a Professional Tip for URF: play someone with reliable CC. Leona, for example, has a 1s stun on a 2s cooldown, on top of all her other CC and permanently active W. You should buy Titanic Hydra and then all tank items. See what happens, my friends.
