"BOTs" in ARAM

DouSennin··2 votes·780 views

Lately, every ARAM match that I have played, there's these "summoners" which act very suspicious; they don't cooperate, don't communicate, and none of their plays make any sense, as a player that USED TO enjoy this game mode, I can tell that these are not regular players, because all they do, in more vulgar words, is "throwing" and "feeding", and that is getting quite annoying and it is ruining the game for lots of us that like an all random match. What is going on with that, Riot? Are these "bots" part of this game mode now? I would like an explanation for this issue so I can either just move on into the SR completely, or just quit this game which I did enjoy playing at some point but now it's just become another headache, just like its toxic community (in some cases). I'll appreciate any kind of response from you guys Thank you for your attention!

(P.S. Thank you correcting me on my previous post, I didn't know where to write about my concern.)

I Have also seen this a few times. 3 or so I think. I just make sure to give a detailed report at the end of the game to explain why such as thresh burning his Hook on minnions behind him on cooldown to push the wave.

Bots have been around for years. They used to stay in custom games, but jumped to Co-op, and eventually PvP, after Riot changed the XP/IP rewards. Riot's been working on tackling the bots, but it's a complicated problem.

The only things players can really do is a) report the bots and explain why you think it's a bot and b) dissuade people from buying accounts to limit incentive for botters.
