Bots have literally infested the Treeline

SweatiestTrihard··62 votes·9,705 views

So, recently I've gone back to playing Twisted Treeline for quick games, with quick queue times, for some nice fast fun. However I forgot that the crippling amount of bots that have swarmed the map hasn't been fixed. I know you guys work hard on banning these accounts as their identified, and I thank you for that, but when me and the only other human on our team would rather surrender than keep playing it out and the enemy team is cruel enough to not shove into our base when asked it gets a little bothersome. Do you think you guys could change the vote system on TT, or maybe the surrender timer in general to 10 minutes? I'm really just tossing out random suggestions, i suppose right now I'm akin to a child who's having a bit of a temper tantrum, but the map is congested with these IP farming fiends. This problem has been going on for years now, and its really just saddening that a fun map has been corroded like this.

Just imagine how bad it is going to get when rito deletes twisted treeline (and let's be honest, we all know it is going to happen)

True, I mean, they've literally broken stealth champs on the mode with the removal of items like Lightbringer and Oracle's Extract.

Linking your own posts lol, not like everyone predicted this or anything.

Why hasn't riot implemented a Captcha? That would probably be the easiest way to spot bots in their tracks.

yup. be happy they aren't infesting sr.

If riot really cared they wouldn't have removed dominion.

one game in sr. all the enemy team were bots. literally all of them. they speak the same 1-2 word sentences and the same stupid spelling errors.

Let's be clear: Riot doesn't care at all. They are choosing to allow the bots.

That you posted that three years ago, and the problem is worse than ever, and still no basic learning algorithms or basic security like captcha, says it all.

I'm a professional programmer, and I can assure you this problem is one that could be solved with relative ease.

I've been playing a decent amount of Twisted Treeline lately and none of my matches have had bots, even in the early hours. For example, I just played like three Twisted Treeline blind pick matches with my friend at like two in the morning EST and none of them had bots.

I'm also playing on a level 7 smurf right now with my friend that recently joined. I introduced him to Twisted Treeline, and in the three or so matches we've played, there have been no bots.

I'm not discounting that there are bots on Twisted Treeline, but I find it odd that I haven't seen any, especially during early morning hours on a level 30 account and during late hours on a smurf account.

Thats is odd. But my TT games have had only 2 real players. The rest are bots. TT is only good for leveling smurf accounts now.

I tried to play TT after dominions removal once. got matched with 5 bots. 2 on my team 3 against me. How fun it is to lose 15 minutes of my life trying to push alone against 3 bots.

This was a HUGE HUGE HUGE issue on Dominion and is now a HUGE HUGE HUGE problem on TT because Dominion is gone.

I honestly preferred TT over SR but sadly Riot don't care.

It almost feels like a new game mode: Bot-hunt. You have to figure out who is the bot on your team while fighting the enemy team. Kinda like trying to find the spy/traitor.

I thought TT: bots was the only option availible though Kappa

Do the bots play like Ashe Bot etc. Or are they like scripting bots?

The former

They play like Riot's bots except they aren't nearly as good. It's becoming an issue on Howling Abyss also. I have had two or three on my team at once. The bots never surrender either so you're just stuck facing a losing game as the bots feed.

I just played one of those games. I was up against a warwick, kassadin, and azir. My team was cho, me and ashe. Cho and ashe were bots and kassadin and azir were afk, Warwick actully talked in /all chat. normally a game of twisted treeline takes around 15 mins for me but when your doing a 1v1 on this map, it will take up to an hr(destroying all the turrets, inhibs, nexus, while 1v1ing this guy). Since they were bots i couldent coordinate an attack or anything, they were just walking from one side of the map to the other, though cho's AI wasnt as bad as ashes, but it was still BS. at the 1hr and 5 min mark, i decided to tell the warwick to go for our nexus while i watched. plz help I wish we could report people
