§ 1. - General Rules
- English is the official language of our community and as such everyone must make their best attempt at always speaking in english.
- No advertising, flooding, spamming, spreading adult material or any other kind of unfit activities.
- Excessive bad manners will not be tolerated.
- Everyone is allowed to have only one account. Account sharing is forbidden. Helping others make secondary accounts is forbidden.
- It is not allowed to use IP address hiding services, e.g. bouncers, proxies.
- When you add you must play - failure to do so will result in a ban.
- If you are signed up for a game but you can not join the game for whatever reason then you must find a replacement for yourself.
- The host must use repel.
- The host has the responsibility to make sure that everyone is in the exact slot as announced by the bot.
- You must play until the game is finished. This means that you are not allowed to quit before the throne/tree is destroyed and the big black scoreboard appears.
- You are not allowed to stay idle for more than 5 minutes.
- The team captain is defined as the first member of the team on the list. When the captain leaves the game then the next player on the list is the new captain.
- The captain dictates how the lanes will be formed, including who will go into which forest.
- The captain dictates who must buy the chicken. By default it is the 5th player of the team. The chicken must be bought before the first creeps spawn and shared with all team members.
- Controlling the chicken buyers hero is forbidden.
- Creepskip is forbidden, meaning that you can't attack structures without creep support. If you went into 800 range of a structure with creep support but the creeps died then you can continue attacking the structure as long as you don't leave the 800 range. Going invisible for over 5 seconds without any visible allied forces in the enemy base equals leaving the base.
- You can attack all structures in the enemy base given that you enter the enemy base with creep support through a lane that has both barracks structures destroyed.
- Buying a lot of low priced items with no gameplay intention is not allowed.
- Stealing neutral creeps from allied players is not allowed. A neutral creep camp ownership is given to the player who first damages a creep from that camp. When that player moves away from the camp then it is free again.
- Feeding on purpose or in any other way ruining the game on purpose is not allowed.
- If someone leaves the game before the 10th minute then you have to remake the game and the leaver is not guaranteed a slot. If someone drops again, then there will be another remake. If someone drops now, making it the 3rd drop, then the game will be locked.
- If the game is remade without changing the teams then the game mode will be -ap and everyone will pick their original heroes and will go to their original lane.
- If someone leaves the game then the captain chooses what happens to the items. The captain also chooses how the leavers hero will be used. Playing with a leavers hero is allowed in every way, if the captain allows it.
- If someone requests a screenshot from you, then you have to take the screenshot instantly by pressing the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. You must be able to upload the screenshot after the game.
- If an admin requests a replay from you, then you have to provide the replay.
- A team can forfeit the game starting from the 30th minute if all 5 team members agree. Only 4 members are needed after the 50th minute. Forfeit means that the whole team needs to go to their fountain and wait there until the game ends. Leaving the fountain area after forfeiting will result in a ban. The opposite team must push and prolonging will not be tolerated. No fighting with heroes is allowed after a team has forfeited.
- If 2 players from the same team have left or in the case of a global fatal error, the team that has at least 2 more barracks structures destroyed will win, otherwise the team that has at least 6 more tower structures destroyed will win. If no team has the upper hand in this criteria then the team that will match any of the following points will win:
Game length less than 25 minutes and team kill ratio 3:1 or higher.
Game length between 25 and 50 minutes and team kill ratio 2:1 or higher.
Game length more than 50 minutes and team kill ratio 3:2 or higher.
If none of the above points apply then the game will be locked.
If one team has the upper hand then the game will be finished as if the loosing team had forfeited. - If a player leaves the game then the game will be paused and the opposite team captain chooses one player to leave in order to balance the game. If a second player quits from either team then act according to the above rule.
- The -xd (eXtended Draft) game mode is an extension of the -rd (Random Draft) game mode. At the start of the game the -rd mode will be used, however as soon as the picking order is known the game will be paused. The captain who will pick first will now ban a hero from the pool. Then the opposite captain will ban a hero from the pool. When both captains have banned a hero the game will be resumed and no one shall pick a banned hero. A captain can change the ban if the game is still paused and the other captain has not banned yet.
- In case someone picks or randoms a banned hero the game will be paused and the picker will choose a new hero by saying its name. After all picks have been made the game will be remade with the -ap game mode and everyone will pick their respective heroes. It is recommended to take a screenshot of the original picks for proof of the picks.
- In case someone leaves the game during hero picking the picking will continue as normal. If the leaver has no hero then the game will be paused for up to 1 minute and the captain will say the leavers pick. If a captain leaves before picking a personal hero then the game will be remade with the same game mode, otherwise the game will be remade with the -ap game mode and everyone will pick their respective heroes. It is recommended to take a screenshot of the original picks for proof of the picks.
- Everyone must use clearly identifiable ingame names.
