Scripts and bots

Always thought this was some excuse people used for losing because they had bad team mates. Yet the more I play TT the more of them I see. I suppose it's a smaller map so easier to write a script for? I don't know but it's a little out of control. I see them running into the same spot, on the same walls, then their path adjusts in the same direction every time. I've had them on my team, seen them on the enemy team, and it's disgusting.

I thought this game took part in e-sports? Where's the professionalism from riot in dealing with these obvious problems?

Yeah, twisted treeline and dominion are more or less overrun by bots, and frankly, it kills the fun.

They're very common in low-level ARAM games too.

But to answer your question:

Uh Dominion, TT and ARAM aren't the e-sports versions of the game. It's SR or nothing, so that's where Riot focuses its attention. Frankly, I'm surprised people even play Dominion anymore.

If you've got a solution that would actually work to eliminate botting, without ever harming an innocent player, then we'd love to hear it. False positives are probably the biggest reason that there isn't wide-spread banning going on already.
