So I've been away for over 2 years, and I just came back...only to see the game taken over by bots.

Wow this is so sad, that the game 2 years ago was actually A LOT more playable. I figured maybe because I have such a crap elo, but after playing for a week probably hundreds of games, I'm still encountering them en masse.

TT is infested with them. Aram is infested with them. Dom is infested with them.

I feel like I'm playing one of those cheap ass bot infested games out of Malaysia or some crap. Nothing fun about getting 35/0 in a game. Also nothing fun when the other team has 3-4 real players and I end up with 4 bots on my team. Can't surrender since those bots don't click yes/no.

How long has this crap been going on for? It wasn't around when I played, at least in the thousands of games I played several years ago I never saw a bot.

I take it they've been around a while since there are so many?

Anyway, I get that it's prob them selling level 30 accs, but, then the person purchasing usually sucks anyway so they infest games later with their feeding. So the bots evolve into real players that are just as bad. Sucks.

Just keep workinh your way to level 30. Unfortunately I was in the same boat. Came back after a few years was like omg this is bs! But since hitting 30, extreme decline on bots in my game (if youre not a bot just pretend like you are for not choosing a skin on my skin boost i did with 40s to choose it...)

They come and go from time to time. What you don't seem to understand is that they need to update their programs every time someone makes one of these bots. I mean when I started playing 5 years ago there were bots as well. They were silent, never used any skills, always went mid. Now a days when I play vs ai, they seek to improve. They use their skills, go to other lanes. And they seem to be using chat as well. Granted it's kinda easy to spot because the way they use chat is just weird. Saying things like lol for no reason. Calling roles while in game already.

But sadly it's not something they can stop unless they start having a sub fee. Every free game has some kind of boy because it's hard to keep up with them always updating/changing the way the bots can be detected!
