Add a "Bot" Report Option

EkkoFroffles·9/11/2015, 4:36:35 PM·117 votes·3,681 views

I'm leveling up a second account and decided to play some Twisted Treeline. Two "players" on the other team did nothing but run through the Vilemaw pit and try to execute at turret. A "player" on my team intentionally executed numerous times. Those 3 were all obvious bots. But I honestly think all 5 were bots, because all 5 would just stand stationary while a turret attacked them and use next to no abilities, just auto attacking when fighting back.

And the closest we have to a "bot" report option is "intentionally feeding." We just had a "bot ban wave" not too long ago, and yet we still don't have a report option to single any remaining bots out? No wonder Twisted Treeline is still nothing but bots.

I really agree to this. I am really annoyed by the feeding bots who level their accounts on unpopular maps.

Dominion pre-30 is full of bots. I had one game where I got paired with human opponents... a 4-man premade on the opposite team.

I find more weird that I couldn't report someone for hacking...well I reported the guy but there was no "using hacks" option...before you blame me for being bad here's the story

I was playing aram, I don't remember who I played as, but I remember a lissandra on my team. :/ ANYWAY! One of the opponents we fought was a Gnar. The first minutes everything was fine....but then all of a sudden. HE WAS IMMUNE TO ANYTHING! We had our entire team, using everything on him at some point, not a single sign of damage. Nothing! His health bar didn't decrease by a single pixel. And before you state "He must had a really good build" I can't seem to find the match as of typing this but he held only one item, and I think it was a item 1004 and nothing else. We reported him but I was suprised there wasn't a hacking option. oh well :/

This is Riot's fault for making the levelling process such a massive and boring grind and making runes cost so much.

Been trying to bring this to light for a while now - my conclusion: Riot, as per usual, doesn't give a fuck about the community or what they think. Can't call out a bot by name in the forums, because it's "against the summoner's code." You dumb fuck, playing a bot is against summoners code - if anything, reporting them in the forums is the best way to solve the issue. I've even suggest adding a "Bot report" option, and I STILL haven't heard anything back. Such is Riot - as long as they're makin' money, the community can rot in hell.

I have noticed that a lot of bots flocked to Twisted Treeline. What's with that?

Riot must let ppl get another 30 lev account fast otherwise bots are impossible to beat. Ban one bot, and player will create 10 more. Or fight smurfs. Smurfs = bots. And while smurfs is ok, bots will exist.

A "Third Party Program" report option would be more useful because it's more generalized and you can specify in the report note what exactly was going on. Would make it easier to recognize people using scripts, etc.

I report them for assisting the enemy team and leave a note saying they were botting.

well have rito start us out at 30 then

that's literally the only reason bots exist, and why makming smurf accounts makes money

but can't have that... gotta have the rpg level up element to suck in a few more players

Yes please I cannot tell you how many times I gotten bots in dominion. One game I had when it was just me and another guy on my team were the only real people the rest were just bots.

if you see a bot it's better to just send a support ticket than have some report option that people will potentially abuse

What sucks is, I'm afraid to play dominion now since when I went into a normal version of it I got queued with 8 bots, besides my friend. It wasn't even a bots game... Like WTH. It's not fun at all.

I had no idea that this was a thing. I'm sorry, guys.

Until they do, report for refusal to communicate.

Straight up played a normal summoner's rift on a low level account the other day with two bots on the enemy team. I felt sorry for them because if they're truly new players they might not even realize that their allies are bots. It's a huge problem and I agree that report category should definitely exist. It's super easy to identify bots based on the items they buy, summoner skills they take and complete uselessness in game, so any reports that were false positives would be easily identifiable.

We need this. Then I can finally report them cheating as bots in CO-OP vs. Ai. Kappa.
