People using Bots in Dominion
the sivir, urgot and maoki were all using bots in my recent dominion game. Easy to tell they all had horrible scores and all three built the exact same

Looks like they're back in full force again. ..sigh.. What a pain. It was rampant since the beginning of the year and it only really stopped a few months ago. Makes you wonder if the bot runners simply took a vacation or Riot was actually able to stop them.
They're no different than before, other than their item purchases seem to be based off the recommended page now as opposed to before where they had 2 EXACT item profiles. And more random it looks like.
Their name structure this batch seems to be XxxxYyyyy. Two words, both leading with capital letters. Though i've seen some with Xxxxxxx all random letters. Also very discouraging to see some already at level 20+.
If we can get a script to ban even 20% of the bots, that's 20% of their revenue stream gone, eventually it won't be a viable business model to bot accounts. We could also add a bot report option to catch them so we can report them, and to mitigate false bans after a few reports they have to do some captchas to prove they are real. Then the people don't get banned but the companies have to hire people to do captchas for the bots, again cutting into their bottom line. So after a few bot reports people have to prove they are real, and after a lot of bot reports they get banned. This will destroy bots quickly, leave real people in and leave it to the community to report them and take charge of dominion again. I would like to play a game of dominion with fewer than 5 bots at some point... (i'm lv 23 now)
I saw this happen, it was literally everyone that I was playing with other than my one premade teammate. They all built berserker greaves and spirit visage. so 8 bots in one game, if my friend wasn't there then it would have been 9 bots.
This is happening every night in 3v3 map. So frustrating, dont even want to play anymore. Whats the point?
