WTF Riot?

NuggeTech··2 votes·377 views

AGAIN and AGAIN AND AGAIN! I've endured my 5th consecutive loss because of a F******* bot. And at the exact same time when I am about to reach level 30. Why does this happen? Even when my team is trying its best to win we can't because the bot is 1/24/3. What else can the players do in such a case except for surrendering? Let's take a few example. In my most recent game, my team composition consisted of Nidalee,Ashe, Vel'Koz,Janna and LeBlanc. And one of them was a bot and that was Janna. The MOST IMPORTANT ROLE GOES TO A FREAKING BOT. And when one plays a support it's basic instinct to stay behind the minions and heal your teammates and deliver the killing blow. BUT NOPE. This Janna was rushing down lanes as if it was Garen.

Prior to this game we had a Sivir. And guess what she was a bot who had to lane against a teemo. The best strategy is to never rush your lane against Teemo. But guess what that's exactly what she did. I had my doubts in the beginning but then it became clear as the Sivir was not denying it that it was a bot. Oh wait, maybe I am mistaken because it did type 'Just surrender' when we were already losing. Or maybe, IT FREAKING COPIED WHAT I MYSELF TYPED.

FIX THIS BLOODY MESS, RIOT

P.S. To the other players, if you are in the champion select and you see your teammate has a generic summoner name just leave the champion select. DO NOT TAKE THE RISK

Sorry support is not the most important role by any means until you hit higher levels of play, and that is coming from a support main.

Sorry, had to call you out on that. In any case after you hit 30 bots all but disappear. Riot has reasons behind why they don't come down hard on bots.

OK yeah support is not the most important role but it is an important role. And you can agree if a teammate feeds, then the match is a lost cause

For the most part yes I agree. Note that the reason Riot isn't very heavy handed with bots is that it would cause a lot of hoops for new players to jump through that want to get into playing league, something that is hard enough as it is.

Huh? I too consider myself a support main. And really I really dont see any difference in the importance of the support role on any level. ive only played in silver and bronze but ive seen enough streams of games on all levels to see this.

Hell if there is any role not as important on any level i would say its the junglers role on the LCS level that makes no sense simply because most LCS games dont really have a true lane phase to gank in ....they just run into each others jungles, let the other team have a free turret kill and then they just teamfight the rest of the game.

Comparing the impact of a low dmg, vision granting role in even just gold level play, where vision is very important and peel/kiting is a necessary mechanic to pre lv 30, where vision is barely utilized and half the players can barely kite on kalista (no offence intended, there are plenty of pre 30 players I have seen who can kite, however there are also a lot who cannot) so doing the most dmg in the shortest amount of time usually succeeds because people don't know how to play mechanically safe even with someone helping them. So yes, unless you are playing something like, say Blitzcrank who is virtually nonexistent at higher levels of play then support is, at the very least, not the MOST IMPORTANT role in pre 30 play.

I seriously doubt you had a bot on your team 5 games in a row.

Since you say you are not even level 30 yet...maybe the people are just not as good as you would want them to be because they are new like you.

if it typed, its not a bot.

But yeah 5 games in a row is very unbelievable. In all the years I have been playing I can only remember 1 time having a bot on my team in a game there should be no bots.

I know it sounds shocking. And I am not the kind of a player who attacks his own teammate in fact I try to support them as I was in their shoes once. But their is huge difference between just having a bad game and feeding. You are more experienced than me So you know more than me and can easily differentiate between a feeder and a not so good player. Heck, in fact I too fall in the category of the not so good player or even below that. But the not so good player will try his/her best to at least support the team and try to help them and listen to those who are more experienced to them. A feeder, well, screw them

Leveling bots were common when i joined LoL Every single game had atleast 1-2 bots ( That was from level 6 ( When i started pvp ) to level 1 however i haven't seen a single bot since hitting level 30 S5 was rough for bots but from what i can tell ( From new account ) the # of bots have died off and now its rare even in lower levels to see them Guess rito is doing their job :D... or the market for new accounts is dwindling
