You Really Need To Read This , Serious Problem...

So after playing 3 straight games of dominion this morning i can confidently say that we have a problem. Teams of bots are for some reason in the normal que but aren't going under bot aliases. Im not sure as to the reason someone, or a group of people, are doing this but i know if the game doesnt last 7 minutes then no one gets ip/xp. And if your team rushes and picks up all five points (as the bots are really bad and will literally let you take them) the game will only last about 5 minutes. The main things that ive noticed to look out for to know that your about to face these bots are as follows: 1. The usernames of the people will be really generic, usually an adjective followed by an animal or something of the sort EX: OutstandingMoose, GruseomeOyster, etc. , also notice the caps between words. 2. The bots will only play free to play champions. 3.You will only be waiting on your team to chose champs. My solution to this has been to inform/convince my team of the occurrence and then capture only 3 of the points then simply camp the enemies spawn , this can be done safely as most the time they wont even attack you. Please reply back to this discussion if you have had similar experiences recently or know anything else about it. Stay Informed , stay aware...

You're level 21, so that'll explain the bots. I'm afraid this is a problem that can't be fixed.

See, the reason why bots exist is so third-party companies can make and sell accounts that are already at level 30. It also used to be for referrals, but that has changed, now that the referral system has been reworked.

The way they do it is they have a script that plays the bot for them. It's not a hack into the game, so League doesn't know it's a bot.

The only way I think it could be removed was if the game automatically banned accounts that

  • played only Dominion or Twisted Treeline.

  • Take ghost and heal every game.

  • Don't have any masteries or runes.

  • Play only free champions.

  • Have a bad KDA (Unlikely, because some cases, bots are matched against other bots.)

Your solution is apparently camp the bots for kills? That's not really much. There's no way to stop things like this, and honestly, it's not that urgent because, sadly no one plays dominion, and bots are very easy to identify.
