BOTS. RIOT doesn't CARE and you should be ANGRY.

So I started a thread that received well over 200 comments about others experiences with Bots, and over 175 likes. I've tried to speak on Red threads about it, the last one being Xelnath's pointless "How's it going?" (or whatever) thread. I feel the most pertinent question he wished to discuss was 'how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?'. I have attempted to get a Red to respond here on the Boards and have been completely ignored.

I can't play MY favorite modes anymore because dominion and ARAM are INFESTED with IP farming BOTS! I mean it's difficult to queue up without getting at least two in a game, and after 10pm....FUGGITABOUDIT! Not happening. So I'm currently debating my future with League and gaming in general. I'm sure many of you are too. There is one thing you should begin to factor in your decision based on RIOT's, thus far, response to this problem....

THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

RIOT has clearly demonstrated, in the face of a casual player base epedimic, that they don't fucking care!

I'll be happy to answer your BOT questions though, since my knowledge on the topic is, quite UNFortunatelY, extensive.

How do come to the conclusion they are bots? I have only played one game where I thought there were bots in it.

I can only guess there's nothing they can do about the bots (or that whatever they could do would require more work than they're wiling to do) considering how determined they are to pretend like this isn't a problem. They've been commenting on other issues, but none of them have been wiling to go anywhere close to any of the threads about bots that attracted a lot of views and upvotes. It's as if they all agreed "don't even go there, whatever you do don't acknowledge the problem or anyone who mentions the problem, just act like it isn't happening". Downright amazing how far they've stuck their heads in the sand about this.

Some questions:

What kinds of answers to what kinds of questions were you expecting?

As this topic has been previously discussed by Reds, what new information were you hoping to hear from them?

I guess it boils down to this: I'm extremely confused about why you think they don't care about it, when they've demonstrated that they do. They're completely revamping the RAF system to remove significant amounts of incentive for botting. They're developing new detection algorithms to automatically recognize and remove botting accounts faster.

They've stated these things previously, before the thread you referenced was ever made. In other words, they beat you to the punch of talking about what they were working on. But obviously, that means they don't care.

Also, I'm still waiting for your answer to the question I asked in that other thread: "So what more should/could they do?"

You responded by telling me they should return IP rewards to vsAI matches, but they never removed IP rewards from vsAI matches, so there's no real validity to the claim, since vsAI matches still do and never stopped giving IP. So what should they do that they aren't already doing or working on?

I'm probably going to get a Ban from the Boards BTW! I've received 2 warnings already for BOT posts. One because I posted the results of a game, and I guess your not supposed to post screenshots of grievances against other players. And I got a warning for this pic. I accidently made a duplicate post of it tho and this one survived. Frankly I don't care though. I like modes other than SR and I'm so frustrated with the Bots, I hardly give two shits right now. Looking for other games. Recommendations?

Bots are easy to spot. 95% of the time they have Ghost/Heal. Many have themed names like names with 2 u's on the end, i.e. Bendaruu, whacaruu, poopaduu. Or they will have two random names separated with a space, like: Turc Fratner, or Turd Ferguson (attempting humor but really they are two random names). They build ridiculously. Typically they will build anywhere from 2 to 6 like items and usually they will be basic ingredients like dorans and codex. They will only attack if attacked, otherwise they will farm. I had one farm and not even look up at me while I beat him to death with Galio's basic attack. Literally I took no damage. And they obviously won't respond in chat...because BOTS!

No such thing as BOTS (unless you play Annie Bot)

I never meet a bot what is it about? someone using hack and their champion will become a bot and play for him so he can get IP?Is that how it works or?
