I just played an Aram game where I was the ONLY player.

9 other bots.

If you don't know, leveling an account with ARAM or 3's is interesting because most of the time you're playing bots that are below difficulty of beginner bots... Usually its one or 2 bots per team, and the trick is to farm them, and then worry about the actual players. I just played a game with 9 bots. I was literally the ONLY Player.

Fun, but Riot... come on lol this has been going on forever... and I've never seen the company even mention the bot problem.

W/e free wins.

If there's a huge influx of bots, it probably means Riot is planning on cracking down on it soon.

I play TT and there were TONS of bots a few months ago, now it's pretty much bot-free. I think they kind of wait to massively banhammer tons of accounts so the people making them can't catch on to Riot's methodology.

Or at least, that's what I think I remember reading once, lol.

It's been happening for nearly a year, Riot doesn't care much about ARAM.

They're worse than new players they don't even use skills sometimes they'll just dive. The later at night I play the more bots I see.

I've never seen bots in aram. I guess your aram elo must be very low to encounter them, I currently have over 35 wins compared to my losses, I usually see plats, golds, and even diamonds from time to time, but never a bot. If bots only show up in low elo that must be the reason why Riot continues to ignore the problem.

This is exactly what we said would happen if you got rid of dominion. It served as a method of bot control since no one really played it. Almost sad how when they announced it would be removed it suddenly became everyone's favorite game mode they claimed to always play.

dont play arams at low levels simplest and best solution if you want to play for fun, play norms, if you are grinding play twisted treeline bots trust me, its not worth the wait in that long a queue to play aram at low ranks

This sounds more like a smurf problem

Free chests if you play on a smurf.

It could be true, I'm sure it's less frustrating than bots in Dominion like "I Jungle to much (NA)" mentions but it's still a concern for new players. Why didn't they add it in that you can see if players are below level 30 during the draft? So you're not surprised when you see them without a keystone or with terrible rune pages.

I have legit seen this for years now. Like I haven't seen it been fixed ever but I don't know how you do fix it. I don't even know how the script for the bot works really. I know Riot bans scripters in waves and I imagine it's the same with bots but I think bot accounts work on the computer rather than from the game and client. So trying to actually detect it and hit the root of the issue is just impossible.

Yeah, levelling up a new account is horrible. It's infested with bots. Some are free wins but it's also really boring.

The exact same thing happened to me. It was the dumbest thing ever.

So what your saying is we should kill off aram based accounts by forcing access to all champions in aram mode. Good idea.
