Illegal 3rd party bots on Summoner's Rift Coop vs AI.

Bhagswag··9 votes·1,613 views

Can we please look into this, Riot? NEVER before season 6 had I EVER seen a 3rd party bot in a Co-op vs AI SUMMONER'S RIFT. I was aware of illegal bots on other game modes.

Mode: Co-op; intermediate, Summoner's Rift.

Typical bot champions; Draven, Thresh, Quinn. Spells; ALWAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ALWAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS summoner 6 summoner 7

Behavior; Whenever they are about to be killed, they instantly use both spells and run back to first inhibitor turret. They never use abilities, aside from Quinn, who randomly uses her vision ability. They will relentlessly chase enemy champion once they start attacking them. They ignore turrets and continue chasing them. of course, they die a lot because of that. They run down mid. All of them. No other lane.

Chat: They will randomly say one word; Frozen, WTF, Gj, Push.

Items: Quinn starts boots, and keeps buying daggers after, or nothing at all. Thresh buys relic sometimes, and then keeps buying kindleglem afterwards, or nothing at all.

I encourage all players to go into Coop vs Ai intermediate and try this right now. Watch for the behaviors.

The bots I see usually put a pink ward over a jungle camp and just stay afk hitting it and itll continue to reset while they stay safe without getting afk warnings.

O.o Really? I've never seen that type before. Is there a particular champ that those ones usually pick?

Oh yeah, heimerdinger can do that. He puts a ponk down, one turret, and just afks.

But not really, since the turret keeps him in combat, and the jungle never dies (keeps reseting back and forth).

I kinda wanna see it :D I'll keep an extra eye out for donger bots in that case. Thanks for letting us know^^

Its usually the ranged champion. Anyone who can hit something over a wall works, doesnt matter which, but youll be able to tell with these simple bots.

Yeah I haven't seen that variety. I shall go hunting tonight to find one. I'm assuming they're fun to mess with too?

Unfortunate Game1 votes

Haha no. I tried to kill the jungle monster and the bot will just stand there till it respawns and theyll continue to do their thing till the game ends.

The only reason I play bot games is to level up quickly tho, so I dont really care/worry for it much.

Aww, I was hoping they'd base and walk back out like the Shaco bot I saw...[zombie-nunu-bummed]

What you have to do is kill the jungle camp then lure the enemy to the pink ward, hop the wall and enemy will kill the pink ward thus leaving the "bot" to go afk and then easier to report as they will have then went officialy AFK.

You're playing a bot game, of course there are bots [slayer-jinx-wink]

XD You've never seen one until now? I go hunting for them in my spare time :3

Riot bans the botting accounts as soon as they are detected and verified as bots (many times via us reporting them for use of third party programs and giving a comment on their behaviours in-game). The problem is that people keep making more to illegally sell lvl 30 accounts (which get banned later if they make it that far).

Bruh I swear to our tentacle goddess, i'd never seen them in intermediate summoner's rift.

You haven't seen anything yet then :D This one time I saw a Shaco bot jungle that started Q. He'd only clear wolves and raptors and then recall in the exact same place every time. He only bought cloth armors, started cloth armor and bought chain vests once his inventory was full. We started messing with him by clearing those camps before he got there~ It was super fun/amusing.
I reported the bot after the game ofc, but the human players bonded through it and I made a good friend through that specific game.

dont forget about Leona, Lee sin, and Taric. The taric does absolutely nothing, and buys nothing. Leona does the kindle gem thing, and lee sin just stands there.

AND THEY ALL GO MID AGAINST HEIMERDINGER.

The ones that especially annoy me are the follow-bots. They will just constantly follow you to whichever lane you go to. Infuriating.

I've also seen a couple of the ones that ward into the krug pit and afk auto attack (someone else mentioned them too). Although i wonder if that is a bot or someone multi-boxing.

I also saw a couple soraka heal-bots that would follow another player around spamming w on them (that may have been pre-rework Soraka i can't remember).

And there are also the ones that just charge up midlane and feed. At least i hope they're bots. ;)

I swear, I've even seen one who tried to jungle. I could totally break it's programming by clearing the camps; it would just stand in them confused. Even when the mobs respawned they couldn't attack them.
