Get rid of the BOT players from Co-Op vs AI

It's absolutely unbelievable to be honest. I've always enjoyed League of Legends solely from it's Co-Op vs AI because you meet all kinds of people & possibly meet new people to join you on your journey to ranks or even esports. But it's incredibly unfair when your entire team isn't even actual human players, but rather, they're AI's themselves.

I've tried so hard to cope with it. But I just can't. At this point, the developers need to either start banning these AFK accounts or not even have a Co-Op vs AI option anymore. At least that way something will actually be done when these AFK accounts play in PvP or even Ranked matches. Since no one cares about AI matches at all, hell, new people to League of Legends have to play those for a bit anyway. How in the world do you expect people to adjust to the game when they're too afraid to play PvP or don't even want to do PvP in the first place, like myself?

Here's the last match I had to deal with all 4 AFK BOT'S on my team. I did the best that I could and just couldn't. At all. Do anything about it. Image link taken using Gyazo: https://gyazo.com/0c232396ac2baf0aade95ed933bbc541

Like please. If you care at all for the 15% of the community that doesn't want to get involved in PvP, do something about these bots. I'm only level 23 & have been playing League of Legends since 2013 (not only on this account) solely through Co-Op vs AI. I've played PvP back then and never met a victory in my life so I just never bothered to play PvP again for that reason. And I bet Ranked wouldn't be any better.

If not, I'll be reporting every single BOT I find on the human team until they get banned.

I am going to be honest: Udyr wasn't a bot at all Probably someone who didn't understand the champ

True. But still. The amount of bots that end up on the player side after 12AM is like 75%. And when you do find a lobby with 5 actual players including yourself it's incredibly awesome. I think the past 4-5 matches I had in ai's were with at least 1-3 bots. The recent ones I had were with 4-5 players. Which is a good sign.

Honestly, I'd rather queue with 5/5 players at all times than 50-50 chance of getting bots as your entire team. Better of queue-ing with people you play in the past with that were human players just to minimize those odds. But then you never meet anyone new...

<.< Defeats the purpose!

Maybe he was new and didn't understand the champ. But with the exception of him, words can't explain how I felt during that entire match. AND I was so close to getting their Inhib but would get stumped on each attempt of getting even close to it by 4/5 of the enemy bots, since I pretty much killed I think it was Alistar 24/7.

When I first started playing League around 2013, you didn't have this problem. Queue's were with 5/5 human players. Nowadays you have at least 1-2 bots if not more on your team. And if you're pretty bad at the game (me playing ai matches all day) there's no room for improvement when you're going 0-20 each match.

Anyway. I could rant all day honestly. I just want some future updates to have some kind of bot detecting or something. I guess since it's not affecting PvP at all they don't really care... :/ I can only hope maybe they'll start caring more for ai's.

I certainly understand that you're pissed of that Co-op vs AI is now just a AI vs AI fiesta, I face them same problem whenever I play in bots just for a quick game.

When i started playing League I think I barely had bots in my games, nowadays it's actually a miracle if you play without a bot on your team.

I would only be careful with calling everyone on your team a bot immediately, there are still new players out there who will act like bots but they just don't know their champion yet or just don't understand the game. Report them for bots or being pissed about that while they're new is not what you should do. In this case you thought everyone was a bot, while they don't have to be and it can be hurtful to those new players.

But yeah Riot has to fix bots

I doubt a new player would run straight to the enemy turret without attacking a single thing over and over again. Or perhaps disconnect and instantly reconnect like the disconnection never occurred. And it wasn't just one bot doing it. All the bots were disconnecting at the same time and reconnecting. If I had good enough internet to the record the whole thing without lagging myself out I would've done so. Only then would you be able to see what I saw during that match.

I never criticize anyone of being a bot until I see them perform like one. That Udyr helped me off a 3-BOT push top lane for like 10 minutes while I pushed out the entire bottom lane without any enemies coming near me up until I took out the last turret and he had died. Whether he was a bot or not, he did really well at holding them off. If it wasn't for that, it would've been over in about 15 minutes, total.

But he was also diving in the enemy turrets like nothing was there to begin with at the early stages. Only until all hope was lost, was he sticking to one spot and holding it until he died.

That aside, I hope somebody sees this thread & does something about it in the future. I'll be glad to play League on the EST side between 10AM to 12AM. Any time after or before, no thank you. Even though I will just to squeeze in a few matches with actual players for IP. My chances of repeating tonight any other day are a solid 50-50.

I know that bot plays are pretty obvious but I just say that because you said Udyr was a bot as well which he wasn't. That made me worried you would call everyone a bot in the game if they fed or did something stupid

Yea when I play AI to just figure out the skills I can no longer play champions I might want to just screw around with. I have to play champions that can easily carry. Ever seen 3 bots in your game and have the enemy Karthus fed before the 15 minute mark 18 kills. That is fun.

Ms Cam1 votes

Vladimir fed at 8-0 is just as bad as Karthus ._.

You can't even engage Vlad unless you can out dps his life steal abilities which odds are if you're not the one getting fed you probably don't even want to fight him until late game, that is if you haven't already lost yet.

I usually run into 2 of them at most, and usually have no trouble with them. I was screwing around with crit jarvan, only to realize that my only ally was a lee sin (impossible as a bot because he was jungling, ganking and somewhat fed although he didn't talk). Cass was 4/0 thanks to Braum and Udyr running into turret, Graves and Taric bot lane feasted on Swain, top was free pushing except whenever lee came to clear the waves.

However, one can use the bots, in a sense. Braum was a bot but he was still building defense so I could wait for him to run down mid, take all the enemy ults and then join in for the clean up after he died. Honestly speaking, that was one of the hardest bot games I've ever experienced. If you do experience this type of situation, it's time to go glass cannon on anything you are playing if you are melee, and crit if you are ranged. that's how you take turrets and end it quick.
