This is the reason that we have a bot problem in League of Legends

Because Riot doesn't care about the bot problem. Here is my experience.

I ran into this player (see picture below) about 2 weeks ago. Long story short, he would pink the monster camp so he could continually aa-reset it and be able to afk without leaverbuster triggering him.

I reported this player, obviously, as it ruined the game for our top laner that had to 1v2. I sent in a support ticket to rito about this player.

Here is the awesome conversation that went on with rito guys:

Now, the problem is that this person was given 100% proof that the player was afking using the method that I had described, yet the rito guy wants to say they need to investigate the person. The proof was given 2 weeks ago. Once we got past the this is 100% an afk player hurdle, he then goes on to say that it IS punished. Excuse me, but I gave you 100% proof of this guy 2 weeks ago, and his match history (see below) shows him doing it for a long time before I even ran into him. So no, obviously you don't punish this behavior. If this player was punished, he wouldn't be doing it over and over and over again.....including a lot of times AFTER I gave you picture evidence of it happening. They want to continually say that they punish them, it just takes time to detect them. No. Players like me send in support tickets and nothing still gets done. Why? My only guess is because that account is one more account that will be sold to a banned player and they will probably buy skins on it.

TL;DR: We have a bot problem in this game because rito refuses to address and punish the players that are doing it.

Of course Riot does not care. They know who may cheat and who not. This game is not for you. It is for the trolls and cheaters who wanna make you angry and harm you with that.

Riot is lazy as shit. They do ban waves so they can put minimal effort into punishing people. Which means you get extended periods of people doing the behavior that ruins games for everybody else before they're finally punished for it. This guy will probly get banned a few months down the line with all the other accounts at once and until then, he gets to ruin everybody's games. If Riot punished people immediately, not only would they save people from having to deal with these jerks, they would also actually discourage this behavior from starting in the first place.

The irony is that they don't even have to put that much effort into it. All they really need to do is bring back the tribunal with a video evidence feature. Have games auto record and then when submitting a report, people can list the time period the offense was in. Tribunal users view the offense in action and vote guilty. This would actually take ridiculously little effort from Riot if you left all the fact checking in the hands of the players. Not only that, it would actually provide a valid way to catch people intentionally feeding, afking, and trolling. But Riot would rather not do anything about it even though all the tools to solve the problems are readily available.

You either haven't been around long enough to know how Riot handles bots or you haven't been paying attention. Not only that, but you assume that Riot avoids banning people who buy skins. Bro, they don't give a single solitary fuck how much you've spent on their game, and their smiting of banned players on the moderation forum is the most public way to see that.

I think there should be a punished player list

Oh look, still playing games and still going 0/0/0 while being level 1 in their games.

In the age of computers, a picture is quite frankly not 100% proof. I can think of several things off the top of my head that could be going on: A) You were upset with the player and lied about the situation in the picture B) The picture was doctored via photoshop C) The player only AFK'd one game and therefore should not be banned. I'm not saying I don't believe you that the player was exploiting the system, I'm just saying that it's important for Riot to explore these other options. Juts because it is clear to you does not mean it's clear to Riot. It would be unfair to the player base for Riot to punish players without due process.

Riot DID punish this player, it just took two weeks for them to establish the precedent for it while also working on the numerous other cases the undoubtedly have. You obviously don't understand what is entailed from Riot's end. You just seem mad that the player wasn't banned as quickly as you wanted them to be. Get over it.
