Can we get a "Recaptcha" or "Are you human" command?
Hi there. Please read and vote, much appreciated!
For those of you who don't know. There are player's/accounts in league that use a "BOT program" in COOP vs AI to Farm IP and XP for their profile. These are probably player's who have been banned, lost an account or just don't care enough to make the time and effort of leveling an account.
to quote an example "this bot will play Co-op vs Al with soraka, so the only thing you need is the champion Soraka. It'll follow the first ally that reaches the outer turret on the botlane. The bot will heal, give mana, use ult, buy items and use starcall. "
Anyway, the point was, to be able to play COOP vs AI, and be able to type, as an example, /botcheck or /recaptcha and a small notification, similar to surrender or remake or any form of vote. but in this case a Recaptcha would be required to be typed in, lasting 1 minute or 60 seconds
as an example, "A player has requested for a BOT check." and then one of the following would appear:
- Pick the champion that does NOT have a form of heal:
- Pick the name of the summoner spell that does this:
A) Teleport b) Flash c) Cleanse etc
The questions shouldn't take long for a real and active player to answer. it shouldn't hinder the vision of players when it pops up. Cooldown of 1 request for every 10 minutes per player.
If a player fails to verify, cause they are using a BOT program or is AFK, they would we be kicked out of the game, with the following notification: "You have failed to verify the BOT check requested by a player, you must actively wait until the game is over." The player must actively wait for the game to be over, 10-30 minutes. The player of course can just close the client or re log with another account, but when they return to that account they still must wait for the remaining time. They can still surf or do something else while waiting, but they are unable to start a new game, enter lobby etc. This counts as a leave, and no rewards will be given. Riot of course would keep track of these "BOT check fails" and maybe after 5 incidences a day or 10 incidences a week, the account could receive some sort of punishment, suspension or permaban.
This is not 100% full proof however, If the player mutes the sound and just keeps the game windowed in the background, they can still see the notification and react to it. Even though BOT programs imitate keyboard and mouse controls, if they use a virtual PC or a laptop, they could potential bypass this check, but at least they had to make the effort compared to before.
Concerns: What if it's used for trolling? Like doing it on a player that is too busy to answer in time? Player's are expected to be active in game, even though "it's just bots", you are also expected to pull your own weight. Player's with kids to take care of or under emergency circumstances, should accept the fail and insure that it doesn't happen again. there shouldn't be any excuse's, if you cannot commit 100% of your attention to a small game, then you might as well not play until you can. Gotta go to the toilet? Fire in the kitchen? don't tell your teammates that then. Whether true or not, there is no compensation for being AFK for any period of time.
