Bots are becoming a bigger and bigger issue by the night. Seems like 75% of all ARAM players after midnight are bots. Its really ruining the game guys....... Im not sure what you guys can do about it but ya'll really need to figure it out. Just got in a game with 4 non-players on my team. Things are starting to become unplayable. Posting in Gameplay and Balance because not sure where else to post.
they are always in twisted treeline.
ghost/heal =bot
Welcome to the war, friend.
i've never come across this and i play aram almost exclusively
They're everywhere, but extremely prevalent in anything that isn't the Rift.
Most of them are low-level farming for smurf accounts or something like that.
lol then youre not paying enough attention http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=LoL+macro+bots+aram Enjoy that. I say that sarcastically. You're actual reaction should be to sputter with rage, aim your face to the heavens, and scream "WHY GAME GODS? WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!"
Seriously. Bots are a real problem and Riot needs to do something ASAP. I brought four of my friends over from HoN to play LoL with me. While they like they game, we have all been dismayed by the number of bots and Riot's inability to do anything about it.
Dominion: Full off Bots. I have had games where I was the only human player on either side.
ARAM: Full of bots. Almost guaranteed at least one or two in a game
Summoner's Rift: Starting to see bots here in Blind Pick. This really sucks b/c the games are long and it is supposed to be competitive. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR NEW PLAYERS WHEN THE MAIN GAME MODE IS FULL OF BOTS.
Frankly, I hope they do something soon. I will not be spending any more money on the game until this issue is addressed.
They destroy the game... they make new players not want to stay because there is bots in every single games (lvl 1 to 30) against bots (SR/Dominions/Twisted Treeline) and ARAM ! Any red post to tell us if there will be any solution against them?
Does Riot benefit from bots? It is hard to think they do but I cannot understand how this is so hard to address. Other games deal with this problem all the time.
Just adding to the proof. I'm waiting out a game right now where my team looks like this:
That's right, at least 3 bots and I'm pretty sure the "new Ava" kid is a bot as well. That made me the only real player in the game. Naming convention, massing in mid lane, turret diving, not using abilities, etc... Their needs to be a new kind of vote for this. If a player gets more than 10 in a week or something the account is banned and any referral rewards are stripped.
I also posted about this and upvoted this thread so RIOT will take notice! This is OUT OF HAND! Please upvote my thread on this as well
Wait the game now fills bots in when it can't find other players?

I just had one in a team builder on my alt account. We need a "report: bot program" button
Bots ruin newbie experience, don't fix it and your game will die.
Honestly, even after 12am you start to see bots in the Ranked games as well. I know i've seen a few ADC bots and one or two TOP bots they seem to pick specific characters. Such as Ashe and or Lissandra from the ones i've seen.
Usually in Champ select as soon as they enter they call a specified location then thats all you hear from them for the entire game.
Usually as described. they will just auto farm their lane to the tower. moment their attacked they back away to their tower then auto attack back up to the enemy. they don't use any of their abilities.
and in most cases if monitored they will stay silent till you threaten to suddenly report them then usually the bot will DC then re connect and suddenly the user will start talking acting like nothing was different.
Hello Everyone Riot has been fully aware of the bot problem. At one point they were isolated in custom games and not bothering anybody other than riot (who could have come out with a better solution), instead they took ip/exp out of custom games. This forced botters to move into regular games.
Here is the thread from the old, better forums:

I play a lot of ARAM and don't think I've ever encountered bots. Some bad players, but even then it was always clear it was a bad player and not a bot.
i just gave up aram all ready i get 9 bots every game its really stupid
I just posted a survey recently about this very issue and I'm trying to see if we can isolate the problem and where it's taking place.
It would help other players and Riot alike if you all could fill it out!
I haven't run into bots in ARAM or at least I believe I haven't, and I almost only play ARAM. It sucks that this is going on though. You can also try posting in Maps & Modes because I think bots are a problem in a lot of areas because of IP farming and stuff.
You'd think Riot would kill the seemingly-growing market for pre-leveled accounts and make a little more coin themselves by allowing users to buy-in to higher levels..
On as lightly different note, would someone mind explaining to me why someone would pay a potentially considerable amount of money for an account that undoubtedly has had numerous reports filed against it? Are there not any consequences for the intentionally feeding, AFK, or assisting enemy team reports? I don't know a whole lot about Rito's justice system, but I can't believe botters don't out themselves on Riot's radar in some way. Or that anyone with half a brain would purchase an account that was tainted by bad player feedback.
It is getting really annoying now i've been encountering them while playing Blind in Summoners Rift.
