Rito plz.
Do we need to start barring people from adding friends until they hit a certain level or play a certain amount of games? It was a rare occurrence awhile ago, but now the frequency is just ridiculous.
MeatKleenex12 votesevery time i log in im spammed with 6 bot friend requests and they were all elo boosting spammers. please fix this or im going to go insane
Old Man Teeto9 votescreaks out of his recliner
Back in my day... bots were actual people too. Sometimes they was crazy, but sometimes they jussin like you 'n mesa.
GaleWinUnleashed4 votesWhy am I not getting nearly as many of these as everybody else seems to? I get maybe 4 per day, and never have more than 1 of them at a time. I've blocked every single one of them, but of course they just keep coming.
IcyPepper1 votesI was like that too, but there was a flux and now there's a lot. O_O
Maganar1 votesI only get one every few weeks myself actually.
My question is this: could someone explain WHY these bot accounts are sending automated friend requests? Is it to make them look more "real" because they "have friends" to Riot doesn't shut them down? Like, really, what does this accomplish?
GaleWinUnleashed3 votesThey send you links, presumably to sell you something or give you a virus.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesHe's onto us!
Tribbles Foxfolk1 votesIt sounds like... someone wants to SELL ME SOMETHING!
I told you he was onto us!
alcatrazEscapee1 votesThey start spamming messages to convince you to "get free rp" and "elo boost" and "buy accounts" etc.
Raid Boss Morde1 votesI got 10 today, consider yourself lucky. 9 Right when I opened league up, 1 later at a random time.
BatteryDead4 votesI'm kinda worried that this is a serious issue, this increase in bots must mean that someone got past Riots anti-spam measures.
Azdaya2 votesYeah, same thing for me, it used to be one or two per day, but now it is 6+ per day and heaven forbid i don't log on for a day, i get double the amount. if i accept one, it sends an instant message soliciting some website, then the name disappears from my friends list making it impossible to report. this is completely ridiculous. it's extremely annoying and worrying because for a while i though my account had simply been hacked. please make this stop. obviously there is a virus in your system riot...
Kaijeo1 votesI logged on this morning and had two requests from level 1 accounts. I logged off for a few hours and logged back on; had four new requests, all from lvl 1 accounts.
Oh cool; logged off again and came back on and had another two bots try to add me.
Pucking Purrfect1 votesSame here.
warpenguin5551 votesi went afk for bit to take a shower after my game. when i came back i had 6 bots try to add me.
Midnight Fox1 votesI've never received a friend request from a bot nor have any of my friends. Do they just target specific people?
IcyPepper9 votesI'm pretty sure I'm neither famous nor important.
AfroBornSinner1 votesDem low elo player "Be like, Hmmm elo boost 0_o" Falls for trap

Whaaaaaaa
alcatrazEscapee1 votesI thought they get a list of names off of the people who post on boards.
Suicidal Zed1 votessam happened to me
Spacesuit Spiff1 votesThen the RAF accounts get repurposed for this as well, your move... although I suppose that could be the beginning of a beautiful sting operation.
gubigubi1 votesRiots probably working on it right now. I really don't think that it will go on for another 1-2 weeks.
Kalarepa1 votesAnd I haven't get single friend request like that. I guess that's because I never play Summoner's Rift.
DeathMagix1 votes100% Agree, Riot needs an out of game reporting system for this bullshit or they need to figure out how to fix it because I'm sick of not being able to do anything about it. It angers me that I don't know who actually wants to add me after a game and who is a bot that just wants to spam my client. :/
Worst Mid Ever1 votesmeanwhile i cant shitpost on my level 5 forum account anymore
ColinFly1 votesIdk, i understand that this can start becoming an issue when ppl who might be a little more gullible will accept the request and get scammed/duped or w.e these accs are doing.
But. Clicking your screen maybe 4 times a day to hit decline is really not that much of an inconvenience and I'd rather have Riot allow this lvl 1 friend botting happen than them put in place some kind of system where scammers will have to start botting to raise their acc lvls because we know that's just what'll happen.
H0riz0n2341 votesIs this why I keep getting friend requests???
Gati1 votesPlz, I got 13 today :'(
BigBouncingBob1 votesThe bots are getting crafty now, they will send their spam & immediately unfriend you. I've been getting two or three requests every day or so. I just logged in today for the first time this week & there were eight requests waiting for me. Three of them were for the same crappy elo boosting site, the other five were for getting paid to work from home. It's annoying that there's no way to report these obvious phishing spam posts, or a filter of somesort. From what I hear, the issue isn't widespread enough for RIOT to do something right now.
