A player has won a match in League of Legends by breaking the rules of the Riot Games code of conduct: He played the game in pacifist mode.
Which rule did the player break? On the website of League of Legends, there is a code of conduct that states it is a competitive game where everyone must play to win.
A player consciously violated this rule by playing the game in pacifist mode and dealing 0 damage to the opponents. Nevertheless, he and his teammates won the ranked match.
0 Damage throughout the Game
What kind of match was it? The user Rumaru
reports in a post on Reddit about his ranked match, where another player decided to play as a pacifist. Specifically, this means that the player dealt 0 damage in the game.
The surprising thing about this story: The team still won the game in a Platinum lobby.
How did the player go about it? One might assume that the Tryndamere player therefore contributed nothing to the game. However, this seems unlikely considering the team won the match.
Also, user Rumaru
describes in his account that the player was not inactive. He only dealt damage to the towers the entire time. A picture on Reddit shows that the player dealt over 14,000 damage to the towers. In comparison, other players dealt only about 2,000-4,500 damage to towers in this match.
How is this possible? In his account, the player expresses admiration for his teammate. He describes that the Tryndamere player tanked his own tower and only dealt damage to the opposing tower when no enemy was in sight. He further describes that the player ran away as soon as he saw another player.
Not only does the user express admiration for this action, but so do other players.
How does the community react to the match? The community on Reddit is also impressed by the player. Many are surprised that the player managed not to deal even accidental damage to any of the opponents.
Some users write:
- Salm9n writes on Reddit:
The most impressive thing is that he never accidentally hits an enemy with E during the entire game.
- IonDust notes on Reddit:
0 damage Tryndamere, the myth, the legend.
