Bots commonly appearing in PvP games!?

dkburney·Oct 12, 2014·3 votes·759 views

I the last 10 or so games I have played (since the patch update) there have been obvious computer players , 'bots'. These bots are obvious to spot because they do all of these things: -In Twisted Treeline run bottom lane... every..single...time. no deviation. -Will run straight down the middle of any lane -run either straight into a loosing battle or run past you trying to score a touchdown past your turret? (Turret kills them) -will not attack you unless you hit them first. Allowing me to take a tower without ever fighting them

In effect when these bots are playing, the game becomes a total joke! It is more about who can score more kills on the bots than actual competitive team strategy.

I am severely tired of this happening and am wondering if anyone else is see this happen to them? What can we do to ban computer bots from playing in our PvP games?

Agreed, I played a TT Ai game and i had 2 bots on my team, played 10 on Summoners rift AI and had bots on them all (they go mid lane and do the same thing you said), it might be Very anoying to have a bot in your team on pvp since it would obviusly be a 6vs4

Riot needs to fix this

I am noticing that as well!! This is RIDICULOUS- first off, not only is it just plain stupid, but this does NOT make the game any fun. In fact, it makes the game unplayable. I'm not sure if Riot is trying to compensate for slow waiting times for matches, or if there are hackers out there who log into accounts and have some sort of "auto-play" feature to run a champ in a match, so Riot might not be able to detect that it is a bot at first.

What I have been doing (because I've seen this for the past 20 or so matches) is reporting all the "bots" and hoping that Riot will notice and take action, but I am only a person.

This seriously ruins the game. To be honest, I could deal with it a while if I knew Riot was seriously looking into this, but the lack of replies, or information about it from riot makes me consider taking a long, if not permanent break from LoL. I love the game, but I can't handle playing against bots. I'm sorry but riot just making a statement about cracking down on it isn't enough. We need serious solutions. If people report the bot, review the game and insta perm ban.

Happens to me every dom game. I know its not a serious game mode but still. neither me nor the people on the other teams should have to put up with this
