Anyone Else sick of AI?

jzakilla·Dec 24, 2014·2 votes·884 views

First, let me preface this post by saying that I'm barely ranked, haven't been 30 all that long but I really enjoy league and learning how to play the different roles. One of the biggest downers is when I'm trying to practice a new champ against bots, and one of my "teammates" is actually an AI. Is there anything that RIOT can do / is willing to do to start banning these accounts? A "suspected AI" would be a nice addition to the report player drop down menu, and something simple like an audio captcha at champ select would get rid of most of these AI. I'm just sick of knowing that someone else has a computer program grinding out IP for them when I have to actually play to earn mine.

It's gotten a lot better - at least at the higher levels. I haven't run my smurfs in a while after even my main was dealing with players afk leveling in co-op.

It was really bad to see in pvp aram tho.

i get them all the time. especially after 11pm est. the tell tale signs are ghost and heal, generic summoner icon, lack of communication, and ultimately feeding. not just your run of the mill feeding. this is like 0/14/0 and above. they run mid on summoners rift and mostly bot lane on twisted treeline where they play the most in pvp and coop vs Ai

Had an ashe AI yesterday, on treeline. No matter where the other human and I went, she would switch lane. Wouldn't respond to anything, used abilities at random or fired in random directions, ran right past the opponents and straight into the tower, etc...

Custom matches.

I've done those a few times, it's not a bad Idea, but you don't get any IP for those. Granted the IP you get from a player vs. bot game is extremely small, it's still something to show for your time.
