Twisted Treeline full of bots

I saw only a few topics regarding this so I feel like I should write about it. I've been more and more interesting in playing the 3v3 mode but the problem is that, most of the time, my allies are bots and so are the enemies. It's been like that for ages now and it's starting to annoy me very much. The same thing was happening last year and the year before, which made me stop playing in the Twisted Treeline, even though I love this map. Honestly, is it that hard to do something about it or they just don't want to? I feel like they don't care because this mode isn't being played very much. If so, what's the point of creating multiple modes if you're not going to take care of them because they are not the main one? Does anyone know how to contact them directly?

Riot won't do anything. Dominion had the same issue and they just neglected it for years before removing the entire map. All they care about is Summoner's Rift and LCS.

man i love 3v3, but bots are absolutely ruining it. it'd be so easy to put the simplest captcha in there when accepting a match, but apparently Riot can't do that. I think Riot has some serious explaining to do. Is there honestly not enough players for 3v3 so Riot accepts these bots or they won't do some maintenance to fix it? i don't quite buy that. You put a captcha on just 3v3 and it fixes the problem. i'll write the code myself - for free.

I agree it's so obvious they always use heal and ghost. They engage even when low on hp. They never finish items or take the altars. Riot needs to be exposed for this

I almost never see bots in my Twisted Treeline games because I've played it in ranked before. Once you have a rank in SR or TT, you'll generally be pitted up against people who are also ranked in your normal games for those game modes. Just queue up for a few games of flex 3v3 and you should stop seeing so many of them in norms.

here is a plot twist for you..... what if these bots are made by riot themselves? and they are just using them to generate extra players to bring more attention to the game by making it seem like the player base is even bigger then what it truthfully is? and also to sell the accounts to random people to generate more money Secretly? i mean it is a free to play game. i would not put it past them doing that to try to generate every extra dollar they can :) nor would i blame them.

well damn lol i did not read all the comments. i guess i was not the only one who thought it may be riot themselves doing it.

logically speaking you have to ask yourself why it is so easy to keep them out of aram and the rift when they have a hell of a lot more attention and overall traffic, but not in something that has little to no traffic at all. if they are capable of keeping it out of the rift and aram then they are just as capable of doing it much easier in a less traffic map. so that in turn makes you think the only other reason is they are behind it themselves. i have never seen a bot in a rift match or aram match. and if they were random joes making these bot accounts then why in the hell would they only pick the twisted treeline to do it in? wouldn't it be a lot easier to go undetected in the rift or aram? or what is the overall chance of every random joe just using the twisted treeline instead of the occasional rift or aram? i mean unless of course these bots were made by one group running the whole thing.... riot cough... cough..... hell even the names of the bots in twisted treeline seem similar to one another.

I wholeheartedly agree. This game mode was so much fun in the early seasons. Coming back 3 yrs. Later it is just trash. Played 4 straight where I'm the only human. Not going to ever play more unless I'm drunk and wanna play bots. Wait there's a mode for that #stopbotfarm
