I tracked an account going 100+ consecutive games with no items bought. 2/18/2018

Is this really the best player behavior system Riot can produce?

1 game without buying items - maybe technical issues 2 games without buying items - red flags 10 games without buying items - there are no more innocents 100 games without buying items - Riot are you even trying?

Hopefully, someone can salvage this discussion. I don't want to be overly negative. I want to be constructive.

I understand that bots are banned in waves. What about players that exhibit the same actions?

What if, Vayne decides she doesn't want to buy items in my promotion game? Is Riot going to punish a single instance? Is Vayne going to remain unpunished indefinitely?

How am I to have confidence the system can catch more creative game play griefing methods?

League of Legends society is starting to become very clear to me. Uninhibited actions and severely moderated language. League of Legends is not a competition. It is a chat room with virtual characters.

Edit: 2/22/2018 - no items account has decided to take a break at 130 games, possibly banned. I've been tracking some more creative bots as well. Some have been going for over 300 games. I noticed that some thread got white knighted onto the front page today. Claiming it is too hard to catch these trolls. :/

yeah i dont get it. bots are banned in waves like what twice a year? and by that time they have only ruined hundreds of games each so thats acceptable?

Its possible that it wasn't a bot. I saw a ton of bots while playing co-op vs AI to complete some of the missions. They are actually pretty advanced, they all take smite/heal, buy Bloodrazor/Tabis, and farm the jungle the entire game. The first time I saw one I thought it was a new player trying to learn how to jungle.

I didn't see any bots that didn't buy any items.

The only time a saw that was a legit new player that didnt understand you could buy component items and thought you had to buy the full item. I tried to explaing in game but ended up just adding them post game to explain it.
After like 5 consecutive games its just trolling though

They didn't just sell all items right at the end of the game? They really didn't buy any items?

Nowhere in the summs code does it say you have to buy items!

Some players are just so good they need to make the game more challenging. It's the only way they can be satisfied. Like dueling left-handed.

But, but Rito detects trolls.
