Co_op vs AI Scripting

Champion Nedak··2 votes·418 views

I have many friends who are just now starting to get into league. And are not very good so they play against bots. One of my friends called me and told me to spectate his match and after watching for a few minutes it was very clear that 3 of his teammates were bots. They would walk into lane until they took damage then auto attack the closest thing over and over again then once they got to half health they would either use summoner 7 or summoner 6 then walk to safety and back to base, unless they got cc'd and then killed by the ai, or if there was no minion wave they would walk under tower get shot. Very clear that there is a script in place that has them walk into lane until they take damage. Another bot was in the jungle sitting on krugs and when they spawned would auto attack and get killed by it because they never got over level 1.... My friend lost the game because him and the other guy couldnt win a 2 v 5... And he was so frustrated. It has gotten so bad that I will actually play bot games just to help the real players get wins and get kills and actually have fun... I will try to record some of the games. I know that bot games have a very low priority compared to norms but this is really getting out of hand and causing serious problems among new players. I don't know what if anything can be done about this but i want to get it out there and let people know that this is a problem and its ruining the game for new people who get frustrated from losing and getting destroyed because of unfair match ups. I don't know if we need like a admin who plays tons of bot games and can get rid of these accounts or if we need a new reporting system just for bot games? Or if we need the Tribunal back so that the community can watch these games and appropriately ban when this happens.

Your friend can create a custom bot game and play to learn intro bots. Intro bots should not be hard to carry 2 v 5 in. This happens alot Ive seen it too but not every game.

Then you have more luck than I did. I would get at least one bot in 8 out of 10 games. If you are a new player this will put you off very quickly because it takes a while to get into the game habits and routines. If they get put off before that hapens then Riot lose potential revenue so they should be taking it very seriously. Unfortunately with it being free to play as soon as they ban bots the bot holders just make new accounts and it goes around again.

I understand, the best thing they can do is level it to level 5 and just play real games with noobs also. They will get beaten up till level 10 and then get used to it. Eventually they learn.

This game is partly about getting experience on playing every single champion. I honestly dont see much of a skill difference between some diamond players and some high silvers. And Ill tell you why, if the Diamond wins its probably because he has more of a champion advantage or he just knows more champions. (I think I have around a 80% win rate in my lanes themselves, but IF I am facing a champion I have never played before [Syndra] it can be tough.

I started playing this game in winter and I found it to be hell for the first week, then I found garen. Im silver and gold on two accounts now.
