BOTS IN ALMOST EVERY GAME MODE!!!

Archfiend Hydra··3 votes·3,581 views

Okay. I literally just got doesn't with a freaking match with 2, count them 2, bots in a Co-op vs. AI match on MY TEAM! I see it all the bloody time in ARAM as well. So how bout we STOP WITH THE CHAMPION UPDATES AND WORK ON BANNING IPS THAT HAVE A FREAKING 3RD PARTY SYSTEMS BEING USED! I mean seriously. I lost 2 MATCHES to bots because of this!! It's completely unacceptable. If a developer does not contact me with in the next couple days to my email, I'm done playing your game. And I advise others to do the same. Leave your comments. Maybe the people in Riot will actually pay the freak attention for once. You say you pride yourselves on the report system. Yet, one of us actually has to REACH OUT to you for legit complaints while trolling jerks can get people banned all they want and/or get people's honor rank removed! The client updates, the masteries, everything else does not matter if you lose people to crappy balance and stupid issues like this! Why do you think that it's acceptable? Please, tell me!

I'm starting to see bots in my pvp games on summoners rift. I play pvp to play with real people and instead I get bots snuck in every 9nce in a while. And if riot has to add bots to the game to keep it going. Then it really is a dying game

Don't forget that most players play on the PvP map, and that's where most of their ressources go. There are no bots in PvP games. (I've heard there might be a few in ARAM, but only if you're elo is REALLY, but REALLY low)

I understand the issue and i bet it gets really annoying, but on the other hand Riot put very little effort on the game modes that are irrelevant to them.

They need to start. It's BS. I'm using Co-op vs AI to learn how to play champs. I can't do that if our teammates just sit there and farm the jungle all day. One of them literally walked through a team fight to get to the jungle! They didn't respond when we asked for help at all! It seems like Root doesn't care about the players who aren't good at the game. It's ridiculous. I can barely play Jinx anymore, let alone anyone else due to the changes they've made. They nerf the ADC's but buff Veigar. Why does Veigar need buffs? Jinx deals no damage anymore and is has next to no health. They don't make since anymore. They used to, but not now.

this is false, yes alot of bots have been in league of legends RIOT CAN NOT STOP BOTS THE SECOND THEY ARE CREATED... they can ip ban, they can ban but to be able to ban them they have to play multiple games, at least 10-20 so riot knows they are a bot... and once riot finds they are a bot. they ban them in waves. they add that bot to a list and every month or so they ban all at once(it is so the people who make the bots have a harder time creating more if an algorithm is changed, the main reason why bots are in co-op vs ai and aram is because the map they used to only bot in was taken out, which was dominion. yes you feel the effects of bots my best advice is play a custom with AI on both sides and then play a normal, that is what i do, i play 1 custom then play a normal. for aram you just need to get higher elo with to not encounter bots,

i know you are frustrated and we all are but riot is trying there best.

IP bans do not work by the way, since modern routers have dynamic ips, meaning that by restarting your router you have a new IP.

Also nothing wrong with bots [sg-soraka]

Slight correction: bots originally infested custom games. It wasn't until Riot changed custom game xp/ip rules that bots started regularly appearing in Co-op and PvP queues. Furthermore, bots weren't exclusive to Dominion.

I understand that Riot is doing their best, and that there won't be a foolproof way to stop people making bots. But, I've seen bots in my games who are level 20 something, and I'm pretty sure that they would have played more than 20 games already. Your suggestion could work, but most of us here are casual players trying to get better and enjoy LoL, and it's difficult and unenjoyable when bots ruin your game. Thank you if you've read my message, I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I really am frustrated.

Not to mention until the new rune/mastery next season the game is very unfair to new players being at a power disadvantage in PVP. This makes playing PVP underwhelming and less rewarding for trying to lean.

I am pretty sure I had a bot in my normal game the other day. Like died twice, then would CS a wave or two and back, buy some random item, rinse and repeat.

So Hey, i startet this game a few weeks ago and i´m learning this game i usally play vs, AI and get in almost every game bots on my side. This is not even funny when they running to the towers and get killed so that this bots get so feed up that u cant kill them anymore. For myself i quit playing AI Games to not get matched with bots but than there are teammates who flames me to hell for not playing good (im currently lvl 12 and okay im better i think than i was lvl 5 or so but still they flaming) what im trying to say is that new players get scared away and dont even wanna play anymore.[sg-ahri-1]

My theory is that Riot plants bots into the team that it wants to lose, The bots will start out fine, but after 20 to 25 minutes they will start "auto piloting" and split push the entire game, they may say generic phrases that aren't related to any conversation or just not say anything at all, Riot has me on a loss streak to get be back to 50% win rate because i got up to 60 to 65% win rate and i've noticed this bot like behavior from several games.

All day at least 1 bot. Last two games 3 BOTS and then 4 BOTS !!!!....

I was the only FUCKING human in the game. I report all the bot players.... Then got sick of it and did a BUG report.

I noticed that bots play in blind pick, not draft mode. These bots are so annoying. They make my team lose because they always feed. Please do something about it riot

AliMoonlight

I know I'm a bit late on this discussion, but, I literally just had a co-op vs ai game with ALL BOTS. I was the only human in that game, trying to test out Irelia against some introduction bots, AND I LOST. I only noticed that everyone was not human when we go tinto the game and they all had ghost and flash, but it was too late and I wanted to keep my good record from not leaving games. Well, it was a horrible experience and I guess there won't be a solution soon and I'll just have to hope for good luck :(
