PSA: Riot adds a way die as a team, punishes you for using it as 5 stack.
My friends and I were in a 5 stack on Summit, and decided to use the doors to die at the start of the round. You see similar things in professional play on Abyss.
After the 5 of us stood together under a door, I shot it, we watching it close, killing us all. It was funny and we won the game afterwards.
Next time I log in, I get a message saying giving me a warning for friendly fire. That's fine, I guess, automated system, but I put in a ticket to clarify afterwards that it was a 5 stack and we decided to do it as a team.
I got this back from Alice from customer support saying that the punishment is being upheld (what punishment? It's a warning) and:
“So long as even one teammate who isn't part of your group is affected, we hold it to the same standards...”
It's a 5 stack man. There's no one else on the team. Why did you add a way to kill your team if you're punished for using it?
Also the fact that Riot thinks we forced randoms to stand under a door and watch it kill them is.. I guess LOL
Anyway, careful using the doors to speed up save rounds or whatever.
