It's always the same thing, the ally bots pick a random champion and then they go to lane. They have the same rune page for everyone, and they always build the same items. And you find them in EVERY coop vs AI game.

35 games of twisted treeline in a day Same summonrs
If you doubt any of the given information, they do the same thing in every game:
If a loved one is doing these activities, splash some water on them, just to be safe.
someone i know bought a fresh level 30 account because they got banned and didn't wanna 1-30 again. Which i totally understand. It was $20.
My theory is there is a secret department at Riot Games that sells these botted accounts for extra money. They've demonstrated how all these really care about it money, buffing champs into broken tier right before a big skin launch, keeping new champs overpowered for multiple patches until many people have bought their skins etc.
so i dont think its that farfetched
And if they are a group of new players? What if a bunch of friends just got the game and dont understand it
they ban bots in waves as to make it harder for the botters to identify why their bot got banned. If they banned every bot instantly they would just make them behave ever so slightly differently or just have some randomized rune/summoner spell setup.
Riot bans these accounts in huge ban waves, they identify most of them
I thought botting was only prevalent in twisted tree line bots never knew they still existed in Summoner's Rift because I figured they just got banned immediately but I guess not.
Things are not that simple.
The issue is not about recognizing bots at a given time, but finding a sustainable way to do so that doesn't risk banning players.
Sure, Riot can start banning accounts that have this specific combination of runes/summons and play co-op all day along.
But the issue is, bots authors will react to that. And they'll start changing the behavior of their bots such that they don't get banned anymore.
They'll start picking champions valid for the role, with good runes/summons too (thanks to all the community websites).
They'll play less often if needed, or play normal games too.
You can't fight against that.
/brains on imagine if a multi billions dollars company REALLY wanted to end bots, that clearly infringe their terms of agreements. What are the odds a couple botters in their basements could resist? Maybe someone who doesn't really tries, is profiting off the situation. /brains off
Riot gets benefits from bots. Because when a bot is sold to a customer, that customer will spend money on said bot account for a name change, champions, skins, whatever. Then Riot will commence the ban 6 months later to all bought bot accounts, then the cycle repeats.

To anyone who says riot doesn't care about money
I thought they just banned them all in waves to catch people after they buy the accounts and spend some cash on it and also figured its easier that way
You see them all the time in Twisted Treeline. Same skills and names that don't make sense. Easy to identify by their in game actions as well.
They get banned once a human starts using it.
riot is aware, they just havent dealt with it yet. probably for internal reasons.
Riot doesn't really do much to solve this. They wait for the owners to level up the account sell it, and eventually they ban it, after all the process was done, and the sellers got away with your money. You may say that this is fault of the people who buy new this accounts, but banning this accounts early on the process would take away the market and the problem all together. Also, you can't imagine the amount of "STOLEN" accounts that are sold on ebay, and ebay doesn't act on this scammers either. You only have to look for league accounts and you will see all those who say on their description they don't provide passwords and you are not allowed to buy RP or log on Riot's web site (because this would generate an e-mail to the former owner) This is paradise for scammers.
Dont you think that it could actually be riot games putting those bots there to compensate lack of players in coop vs AI?
Your runes and items are troll though, I would ban you as a bot lol. cant disrespect you because of board rules
This is just the poorly done XP farming bots. There's much more competent bots out there, like the late IkitaBot. It was using actual neural networks to play ARAM with any champions.
Dominion Twisted Treeline and Co-op vs AI used to be the 3 main Bot XP grinding modes which btw, yes they have been here and abused for years now.
Riot shutdown Dominion in a way to stop the bleeding creating by this, knowing the Dominion playberbase was the lowest, thus they decided to cut it off.
Twisted Treeline will only not follow this path due to its ranked mode. Thats really the only thing keeping it alive.
And obviously they wont remove co-op vs AI.
Sadly Riot has always had a certain defiency in solving issues, and chances are, it never will be fixed.
I'm not gonna lie when I first saw it I thought you were the bot. Fleet footwork and spelltheif's ziggs top?
I know that bots typically don't take smite or build with jungle items ingame, but this person I had in my enemys team didn't even take health pots or do his red/blue buff 90% of the time... https://imgur.com/a/oAkH8HK
I've never experienced this.
I'm honestly just surprised this many people play coop vs Ai
riot knows its easy to identify them. they are just too lazy to ban them instantly instead of waves. which is a good thing for the botters.
I don't understand why these are not banned quickly. Riot engineers can identify patterns during gameplay of a bot easily, by analyzing all their current games and picking the players who play the same way each round, 1000s of rounds in a row, and if that same style also matches multiple accounts, it means all these accounts are running the same bot. You can ban all of them at once and keep banning each time, at their random level, so the botters will not even know when to expect the ban.
I hate to see my favorite 3x3 map played by bots only. I like this map because I'm a casual player. It was not like that few years ago, there was no bots there.
