Bot Bans Incoming

Hey everyone,

Last week, we banned accounts found to be cheating. This week, we're banning botted accounts. We want each and every game to feel competitive, and having bots on your team cripples your ability to work together as a team toward victory. As a result of these bans, we expect players will encounter fewer bots in their games, but there's still more we can do in our efforts against bots.

We wish we could provide more context, but we won't be answering questions about how we detect bots to avoid being reverse engineered. Just know that we're committed to keeping these bots down. We'll continue to improve detection as bots try to get around it, and we're working toward other solutions that will decrease motivations for botting.
