Bots are ruining my games.

I am home from school with chronic bronchitis. It's 11:24 am Eastern America time. Kids are at school right now and I have no friends to talk to. The only thing that will cheer me up is some league of legends. I log in and begin to play classic mode. I play as and end up losing 3 matches in a row due to bots being on my team. bot walked back and forth in our base for 30+ minuets, not helping at all. Why are there bots in league of legends? Does Riot realize that bots actually make things WORSE for the team? All they do is feed or go "afk walking back and forth". I would rather go 4 vs 5 than to have a bot on my team. Are there more bots during school hours?

The good news is that you'll get less of them as you level up. Most bots are farming exp (for reselling? Personnal use maybe) and so disappear at lvl30, there's also more people at level 30.

I'd suggest going into vsAI if you want fairer games. 1-2 good players with good champions can carry the game by themselves there. Otherwise, be prepared to have a them sometimes, focus on your own play.

You are much more likely to get bots when there are less people online. Luckily they will go away when you get a higher mmr and you will no longer see them.

Twisted Treeline is a perfect example of the case OP is showing. It has bots in PvP that have exclusively Ghost and Heal.

Usually happens when you go to Normals and have a low MMR. It's hard for new players to get better if their team are bots that are scripted to just walk back and forth and to stay at base and try to buy an item for 45 seconds.

What.... kid I think your meds are stronger than you imagine. You know there is a co-op mode right? Like 5 actual people vs 5 bots?

In what game mode are you playing with bots on your team vs other players? If you are loosing to bots period might I suggest watching some youtube that will help you learn to build properly. It will help, you should be able to 1v3 a team of bots no problem on Garen.

try some co-op people are usually some what nice and helpful.

I sent a list of the bots in your match history to support. 20 or so names. Oh snap! I got a warning from riot for posting the bot names....Woops.
