[Serious] Low-level players and bots.

This is a game recorded on 6/9/2016 at 12:20 PM EST.Time. More information; While I am aware posting Summoner names is forbidden aswell as calling out Summoners, This is a post I felt was necessary to make. When I began to play this game I didn't experience something like this, a cold game where the players weren't players, the robots had full control of the game, and there was a lack of talking between the team members and teams. This sort of environment is EXTREMELY deterring to the new players, and new players will see this game as desolate and boring. The main purpose of this is to rise the number of caught bots to make people who are real have real League of Legends experience and not false bot-tower dives, cold interactions with 0 reply, and a overall feeling of nothing accomplished or nothing gained. This affect will ultimately lower the amount of players coming to play League of Legends in both the short, and long runs.

We Dominion players protected you all from this. We put up with the bots in our games and reported them. And then Riot decided they didn't need our services any longer.

Now there's no one left to stand in the gap.

While I thank you for that and I apologize, I believe this is something that needs to be more noticed, for the safety of the future of the game and new players joining in.

Well yeah, no kidding. Bots discourage new players from learning the game. They've been around ever since Riot removed the custom game XP/IP.

I was mostly just being silly.

The silence from Riot despite numerous posts mentioning the bots, their very specific behaviour patterns and even reports is deafening. Any new players that come into the game will run into at least one bot per game and when you are new to the game a fed bot is going to stomp you especially with the way they coordinate their ults. I know that Riot can't say openly "we are doing X and Y to address this" but they need to say something to address this or it looks like they are doing nothing.

One of the reasons Riot decided to remove Dominion.

Because why deal with a problem when we can just pretend it didn't happen?

The bots are everywhere. They'll say "frozen" now and then, and stand off to the side of the store a few Teemo's away from fountain for 2-3 mins before doing something, usually executed by Turrets and going "frozen"

Also you're playing ARAM. Did you expect to have fun?

Aye. 'Twas always an issue for this game. Riot's silence on th' matter 'longside with their current reputation as it be only makes it feel worse since ye get that forebodin' sense that th' games own developers give not an ass rat's 'bout what happens to it. 'Ere be so much we don't know what be goin' on internally at Riot's main office that it just be muddled... It honestly gives a vibe that they be at war with 'emselves or are just truly manipulative on 'eir basis. I don't want that to happen but it seems League of Legends be turnin' into Runescape with Riot leadin' its Jagex. Things like what ye show are a strong example of what we be headin' back too in history.

As a casual player with an incentive to win if it means fun for all, it just hurts with things like 'ese happenin'.

Th' only thing that I can say now to any of us - yet, mainly to ye - be just a frail hope: "Eyes up, Guardian."

Funny thing is, I graduated high school this year and one of my raid buddies only wrote one thing on my autographs page. 'Eyes up Guardian." - Henry I love you guys haha! <3 I also agree with you, I used to play Runescape and the bot plague was one of the most annoying things in that game that deterred new players because of a lack of social experience in a game that should have a bare minimum on social experience which is even more profoundly seen at the low levels. I hope Riot could address this issue because it isn't very fair to the people who weren't here in League's prime

The Co-Op vs Ai players have been seeing this for ages now (almost every other match) and no one cared because "lol, who cares. It's just the AI mode". Now it's leaking into the other modes. The only modes that those of us who can't stand the toxicity of normals and ranked, can find any kind of sanctuary in. At this rate, it WILL find it's way into normals and WILL cause people to quit playing. I mean for god sake, this could be fixed with something as simple as this before each match:
