I enjoy playing a lot of arams as a new player. It helps me expand and learn different champs as a new player. But every single game I play has at least one bot account. It immediately decreases the amount of fun throughout the match for everyone. I don't know how often this happens to anyone but me but this needs to stop. It's stuff like this that makes this game hard to play for newcomers.
Its like this for pretty much all new players. Just report the bot(s), enjoy the FREE S BOXES, and prepare for level 30. At 30 you may still find the bots but they will disappear as your aram mmr increases and you will face more worthy opponents
Pretty much what odysseus said, Its free wins and high grades on champs when you go against them, and eventually when you win enough arams you'll get to an MMR where there wont be bots, and then after that you'll get to the "aram account" mmr, which is a whole different beast. Good luck my friend and don't get discouraged by some of the BS riot allows to stay in the game.
$kin$, world$, LC$ more important
I've avoided ARAM because I did find it to be a bot fest. I went 31-1-6 on Nidalee when she was free (didn't own her) and I was so excited to be dominating with a new champ... but I came to realize that I was the only human playing.
...I still bought Nidalee.
This seems to be largely a new player problem (sort-of-thankfully). They've never really properly addressed it and never will. As long as the game remains free, it will have bots. I always imagine some sweaty guy five-boxing League to level five accounts and just sort of half-assing it on them all and ignoring chat.
Anyway, you basically report and move on. A lot of things make League hard for new players, including new players, players, and League of Legends. Unfortunately, bots are one of those many things but the one they have the least agency over arguably.
I mean, I'm not sure how to continue on that other than to tell you to keep at it. I've got more games of ARAM than I care to calculate (near the 4k mark) and I dunno if I see bots; I keep all chat off (cuz all chat warriors are just fucking everywhere, damn) but I'd wager everyone I've faced in the past two years is a player.
More common than bots (if I'm to be believed) are AFKers/leavers/griefers.
So yeah... stick with it, and eventually it gets bett...
...well, different. And that's something. I mean, it's not something. But it's more than nothing. Even if it's less than something.
for me as long as its not past 10:30 pm im fine
