Builds that Scream "I'm a bot!"

Yordle Potluck··1 votes·559 views

Has anyone noticed certain off-meta builds that look and act very suspiciously like someone was writing a clever bot script?

For example, I'm thinking, AP Xin and AD Leblanc (I've seen those in a couple of games).

They're both highly survivable builds, and can be written such that they don't 'feed' and act like 'humans.'

Anyone noticed any other trends? I also love to ask questions that they can't answer easily too like "who was the bad guy in star wars".

The bad guy in Star Wars? It's Obiwan, right? From my point of view, the Jedis are evil!

haha, that's a completely acceptable answer. Definitely passes the Turing test :)

I play AP Xin and I am not a bot...

But seriously, they could just be bad and not feel like talking to you.

no no, I'm not talking about skill. It's the way the act, like their motions are very robotic. And, we all know there are hundreds of lvl 30 account sales daily made by these bots. It's a booming business (which riot could squelch if they let those of us with silver+ accounts just buy our own 30s, but another story).

I get alot of weird teammates who seem like bots. They never say a single word all game, build completely wrong items, cannot CS at all, constantly get caught out by themselves, and play terribly. Sounds like normal teammates, but they play in a certain way and never communicate a single word all game. I usually think they are bots.

Yeah, leveling up a new account here, and I see it quite a lot. I would say at least one out of every three games I'm fairly convinced it's a bot.

Plus, you can kinda tell just by the name, at least it's a slice of evidence. Names that are clearly randomized are very suspect.
