Advanced Bots (Compensation)?

WitchQueen Annie·Apr 1, 2017·3 votes·1,361 views

For some reason Riot has decided to use players to test their advanced bots in Normals (without advance notice or payment for the service). I'm surprised the board is not up in arms about this.

I want to keep playing Normals, I don't want to be forcefully inserted into an AI game
If I am going to be "forced" to test Bots in normals, I should be compensated in RP.

Otherwise, its free labor. Simple as that.

Riot should use the PBE or hire play testers for the new bots. If I'm forced to do it in Normals, then give me the RP.

What do you think?

Its happening for real. I logged in yesterday and was made to play 3 bot games in a row, even though I went Normals.

I mean, it should just be PBE.

They can't have changed their names; there's already an account called Annie Bot but I played an enemy called Annie Bot, it could only have been a bot.

Also, if they muted my chat I would see a message when I type all chat saying I've been muted. It doesn't add up.

it's their game, they can change the code slightly and there is nothing stopping them from just changing your name to some random thing even if an account has that name already. You cannot be this dense. It's called an APRIL FOOL'S JOKE look it up since you seem to be so disconnected with reality... unless you are a troll in which case... good job sir

All they did was replace the enemy team's names with "bot" and remove all chat

It's April Fool's Day

Just to make sure you understand

The people you were playing against were normal people just like you, riot just disabled all-chat and changed the enemies names to 'champ name' bot

Got it?

But... that can't be. I mean if that happened people would be up in arms about Riot hacking their accounts and change their names to "X Bot" ?????

I just checked your match history on OP.GG You didn't play against bots Riot just changed the code so that the enemy team appeared to have the name of their champ and bot To the enemy team you looked like Jax bot or Garen/Viktor bot 'cuz you also play games as those They weren't hacked, everyone just saw that the enemy teams names were changed
