Very recently the Rioter involved with that system said he's working on improving it (bot detection) and it should be out soon once it reaches an acceptable rate of false positives. I keep forgetting his name so I can't find it D:

Well it depends on several things. First are these bots Riotbots? Second the guys who use these bots is a friend of the CEO of Riot and belong to the power elite? If this both is not the case may be Riot does something but I am not sure.

lolwut? Riot doesn't employ or otherwise allow 'bots' of any kind that are not the AI included in the game mode XD

Thats what they say right. But unfortunately that is not what I see in game.

Bots exist, but they are not used, created, or endorsed by Riot in any way; what makes you think otherwise? As I said to the OP in my comment to him, they are trying to improve the bot detection system and it shouldn't be long til it goes out (if it isn't already).

Well I dont think that it is possible to cheat a billion dollar company which has professional computer scientists if this company does not ignore this at least.

And I highly doubt to be honest that it is possible to make all these hacks and scripts I watched in my games without insider knowledge of how this game was actually programmed. Normally this knowledge only Riot can have. Even if you are a computer scientist - a good one. I mean to program such shid you must be very good. Why you should program such shid if you are very good in programming? Why you should do this? And why should a company totally ignore that? It makes absolutely no sense unless Riot thinks that it is okay in certain cases to cheat their customers.

Having lots of money and skill doesn't fix everything. There are bots and hacks for basically every game regardless of how big they are; if the company figures out how to detect it with 100% accuracy the cheaters just create something new to circumvent it. This is why Riot does ban waves; it lets them gather all the cheaters they found and ban them at once so they don't have the chance to change their methods, and Riot won't tell them what they found because that info also helps them avoid detection.

As I said, Riot is actively trying to improve their system, but even when it's as good as it'll get you'll still have a game or so ruined by a bot before they are thrown out.

You never see the bots that do get banned, only the ones that haven't been yet.
