"If You'll have no chance to promotion in next season You should tanking. Tanking is great solution, especially in league full of bots."


You make no sense! How is tanking a good solution in a league of bots? Tanking means you try to lose every game, usually so you can get a higher draft pick. However the great thing about bots is they don't put any thought into the draft. So Tanking is a TERRIBLE solution in a league full of bots.


"Of course You could still win matches with bots, even with tanking. So You should try to do it."


Again, What are you saying!?

You should still try to win when you are tanking?

No, tanking and losing are two different things.

I'm not sure where you got your definition of tanking, but I'm pretty sure everyone else knows that if you are tanking you are losing on purpose. Just look at the title of this post.

You can lose all matches without tanking...
So tanking doesn't mean losing.

Of course you can lose all matches without tanking
but tanking is the "attempt" to lose,
losing on purpose
kind of, like, the title

Some of the teams haven't logged in since mid December. Anyway, it doesn't really matter if he is relegated because he'll come right back up in the bot cleanup.
