A SOLUTION FOR BOTS IN YOUR GAME

Dereq·Jul 10, 2016·3 votes·1,050 views

So RITO deleted my post called BOTS INVADING TWISTED TREELINE and this was their reason.

_Hey Dereq,

We understand that hacks and exploits hurt the integrity of the game and we are actively looking and punishing these players. The Boards is not the correct place to bring visibility on these players and as such, your post has been removed. Please continue to use our in-game reporting system and send a Player Support ticket in._

So if this billion company cant do much to solve anything i GOT a solution:

**A BOT CHECK/IM HUMAN like when u are Logging into ur accounts or creating one. I think kids above 5 Yo can solve them. ** If this is not an option(im sure rito will say so) then we as players should do our own bot check talking in the champion select and dodging when someone on our team does not respond without a penalty.

RITO CANNOT OBLIGUE US NOT TO DODGE A BOT GAME!!!!

If u rito care about us u can implement this , and in the proccess get better servers the spike lags are terrible.

This really doesn't work. Any filtering mechanism other than manual review (which Riot simply does not have the manpower to do on a large enough scale) can be at least partially bypassed with little effort on the part of the botters. The only solution is to change the system enough to remove the incentive for creating bots, which in most cases are used to farm level 30 accounts for sale. Thus, what needs to happen is the removal of any reason to purchase a fresh account illegally.

Some possible/partial solutions (each with their own problems and side-effects) are:

Riot selling level 30 accounts themselves, massively undercutting botters' prices to make it unprofitable for them
Greatly reducing, or entirely eliminating, the amount of time it takes to level an account to 30
Allowing an account to "reset" and enter Ranked games with a clean slate
Linking IP rewards much more heavily to winning (bots tend to lose a lot, so farming IP would become much more difficult)

There are many other possibilities, but this is what I was able to come up with in a short time. Take it how you will.

I think that any kind of clasification(diamond/bronze lvl1/lvl30) is an incentive to many forms of cheating: boosting, boting,etc. But im not a game developer, nor anything remotely similar. Im just an user that played long enough to care about my account and the game and is day to day getting dissapointed (no only by people but now for the system).

I appreciate ur time and Ill research and comment these ideas to other people who are also concerned like me.

if they stopped permabanning people and instead put them in a queue with other toxic losers there wouldnt be a NEED for people to buy botted accounts.

i got an idea for that, shouldnt they take the honor system to actually do something like that? like a magic algorythm

Your suggestion of captcha has been mentioned before and debated regarding why it doesn't work. Botters will simply answer it, then go afk after game starts. This feature hinders those who go afk for an entire day letting program handle everything, but ultimately doesn't stop those manually queue'ing before they let script take over.

mm that is why some bots i have encountered do not instalock and "look" like they are actually making a decision process (changing sumonner spells,etc)

anyway i refuse to buy the idead that hackers are better than riot programmers

It is not that they are better. Even WoW has Botters. Game companies do what they can to rid the game of them as they come across the bot accounts, Your thread was likely removed for naming names. Which is a no go because if riots investigation comes up that they were in fact not a bot but just a really bad player you just drug their name through mud on the forums.

Even blizzard will delete posts like that on their forums for the same reason. They do not want to be held liable for allowing something that is potentially libel on their forums. Not to mention the fact if they are just bad/good(in case of games like Overwatch where people scream wall hacks) it prevents that player from dealing with potential harassment over something they were not in fact doing.

Riot does ban bots as they find them just as they ban anyone using authorized third party software that is embedded in league or interacting with League in some manner.

lol so they cant tell apart a bot generated username like IMBOTNUMBER45 Or somthing like xdRTluke. I mean they tottally fake. And the issue here is that u cant make a pvp game with so MANY BOTS. the problem is big im not the only one. maybe u have ur ranked team or friends and do not enounter this issue

PD :(PLEASE THESE NAMES AR RANDOM RIOT DO NOT PERMABAN ME PLEASE, Im only a bot, sorry im only a human)

ShyvauniJul 10, 20161 votes

Ok I solo Q for ranked. So yeah no bots are no where near as prevalent as you make it out to seem. Go back to your hidey hole and find another excuse you are bad. Atleast I admit I am not good

DereqJul 10, 20161 votes

Sorry, i didnt mean to asume anything about u, but as u stated u do not encounter the issue a have been so terribly mortified by. I had a post where I explained why it is a prevalent problem. Detailed bot behaviour usernames, matches recorded, they were a lot. But said post does not exist anymore.

And i dont think u are bad nor i think so about myself.

I am in bronze... That is a pretty solid indicator I am bad at the game :P

Yea, I got the same message for a post I made earlier this evening also.

Played an ARAM game with a bot who's name was "Rito Cares A Lot". Even took a screen shot of it as it was so utterly hilarious and ironic.

Talk about irony. But apparently the boards aren't the right place to bring up the fact that that ARAM game had 3 live players in it (7 Bots) and my game last night the ENTIRE other team was bots...not a single human player in the game except for on our team...which had either 1 or 2 bots on it.

I'm assuming this is just too public a place to mention that either their game is losing so many players that bots have to be subbed in, or that their account controls are so ridiculously poor that they can't do anything about them.

Either way, you're not the only one having posts removed for pointing out a glaring problem with their game.
