Bots flooding into Aram now.

So I was playing a game on a Aram just now it turns out that on my team I was the only physical human and on the other team they had a bot as well they all rushed down mid pop their summer spells as soon as they spawn and then proceeded to ignore the Champions and run right to the minions.

This is the problem that we're going to have more and more after they get rid of Twisted Treeline the entire thing is filled with Bots as well and the fact that we all reported every single one of those accounts and check their profiles and they were all aram every single one of their matches were either losses or one win out of like 9 losses because they just got lucky that Bot got a team.

This is extremely frustrating and it's happened more than once already in my game but not to the extent where my entire team except for me was a bot and the other team had one bought on their team as well so out of the ten of us half of the game was bots.

It seems like Riot doesn't care because no matter how many times I reported someone for cheating scripting botting or something like that I've never got an instant feedback on them I've never done anything like that but as soon as someone says any cuss word or even weird words like Bobo which the chatbot does censor does anything ever happen and I guarantee you the moment that Twisted tree line goes down we are going to see bots flood Rift and Aram.

Bots are handled in waves to prevent bot makers from flooding games with different AI to learn the triggers for banning bots.

Theyre already detected and will be banned within a few months.

Now?

Bot have infested ARAM well before TT was even announced to be scrapped. Especially on new accounts like yours.

Also, scripting bans are done in waves, so script writers aren’t aware what parts triggered the ban so they can patch it. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to deal with botters or smurfs without linking real life identifiers, which is a whole other issue

It's incredibly rare to get instant feedback on reporting bots, since there's a lot of fucky stuff that goes on with instant feedback that all culminates in it being rare to get it for things they're punished for instantly, and a once in a lifetime thing for illicit code.

Bots are banned in waves, which makes it far harder to do anything against their bot detection. That has the added benefit of making people less likely to buy the bot accounts, because any bot account isn't one that managed to avoid punishment, it's just one that hasn't been punished yet.

Need to give ARAM 20 min champ limit and remove the level requirement for ranked so bots don't ruin the only mode worth playing.
