Add A Bot Option to Reporting

Sara Leah·12/27/2014, 6:09:42 AM·15 votes·1,766 views

This game needs a bot option added to reporting. after a large amount of matches with the newest bots with dangerous and angel tags I sent a ticket to support with screenshots of two(one of each tag) of their records asking if they actually read the assist enemies reports. I know that many will be sent from frustration and are unfounded so I understand if they ignore the majority of them.

HOWEVER I do believe that an option for bot reports should be added and priority examined since having 1 or more bots makes the matches unfair for all players.

Bots are usually account sellers or item/gold sellers in other online games and ruin them if something is not done to squash them they will ruin this game as well.

here is a copy of the email I sent minus the pictures.....

"these two bots plus others with same dangerous or angel tags appearing regularly. I have sent reports after matches as have others and am still seeing them and others. do you even check the reports of assist enemy? if not I can understand, but can we add a report a bot option that at least gets them checked?

in fairness something needs done.. bots are most often used for leveling to sell accounts in this game.. In others it is used to sell items for real money.. either way it hurts the game in the long run."

this is the reply I got....

"Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. The use of scripts and third-party programs is against the Terms of Use, and is an offense worthy of suspension. The integrity of leveling up and playing games is very important to us, so these actions will not be tolerated.

We’ll be looking into this issue, and taking appropriate action once the investigation is done. Don’t hesitate to write back with any more evidence that may help us with this investigation.

Regarding implementing a bot reporting option, this sounds reasonable, and although I am not able to handle feedback reports here in Player Support, Riot Games has established a set of forums for our players to submit ideas and advice. Rioters check there every day for insight directly from our community:

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/

Do know that because our teams receive so many feedback reports daily, they are unable to respond to every entry individually, but this does not mean your comments have been overlooked. We have adjusted priorities in the past based on community feedback, such as creating Surprise Party Fiddlesticks and Battle Bunny Riven, so this is the best way to make a difference.

Let me know if you need anything else!"

names removed obviously.

So anyone besides me think this option should be added in hopes bots start disappearing?

now to find a good free game recorder(one that will record the whole match and time stamp as well) so I can put some video of the bots together and send it to them also.

here is a match with 4 of them.. how is this fun for anyone?

3v3 in the low levels is 90% bots, if you queue alone, you get 2 bots on your team pretty much every game

Yes please. Back before Riot said they were changing the friend inviting rules, bots were EVERYWHERE outside Normal and Ranked SR matches. There was no proper way of reporting them, and if you did, you'd end up lowering your own reporting power. Dominion still hasn't recovered from the bots.

yes and I am convinced that if there was a option for reporting bots as opposed to using the feeding or assisting enemy -both which honestly gets used too much already - think a bot option added that actually got used and followed up on would/should start thinning them out.

I see many complaining about the bots in their matches and it gets worse daily. being in a match with 2+ bots no matter if they are on your team or enemy team is no fun and unfair.

Riot prides itself on fairness lets have some fairness by adding "report bot" option to the reporting at end of matches and get rid of these scum

I still dont get why we dont have an option. i cannot remember how long its been but i remember first starting playing and trying out Dominion and having ti filled with Bots, now they are seen in full force in Twisted Treeline, ARAM, VS AI, and even Normals. just wait they will be in Rank matches, but nothing from Riot on if they are working on an option which shouldnt be too hard. just give us an option when reporting! but i guess its not a serious problem to get their attention!
