Some players still keep botting

I've been leveling up my smurf recently and I must say that I'm getting annoyed by all the bots that are (going to be) in your team. Two times in a row I had 4 bots in my team which actually meant I had to play 1 v 5. I do not have any problems to win that but I don't want to imagine how newbies will feel once they are in such a situation. It might ruin their fun.

Those botting systems have been used for more than 2 years now: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/upcoming-changes-refer-friend Nowadays I think that those accounts might be sold to other persons but i actually don't know.

Most of these bots act very similar: -you usually meet them in intermediate coop or even ARAM -they usually run heal and ghost -purchase boots first/ vision ward + pot -their first bought item is the tier 2 boot -after that they purchase items of their given set in random order -they tend to go to the mid lane ( not all but many) -they tower dive very often and thus give kills to enemy bots -some of them do not attack towers w -they CAN write into the chat ( f.e. "push" or "Gj"[seriously, who writes "Gj"?]) but they cannot respond to any question you ask them -they can ping at special situations which makes it hard to tell whether it is a bot

Well, these are the information I've gathered so far. I know that this do not affect most of the players but beginners should not have that kind of experience. Plus, it violates Riots rules by using third party programs. I report them when I see a bot but there are simply too many of them. Please support our newbies in our community.

PS: I really like how Riot improves the A.I. of the intermediate bots. There may be a huge skill difference between them and the easy ones, but it certainly help any newbie to improve at games. ( Yes, med. bots can summoner 4 engage or summoner 4 escape properly. Thumbs up)

i have the sneakiest suspicion that Riot is the one who puts up Bots, new players are so rare in League.

Oh, 100%. The amount of botting is ridiculous, almost like Riot supports it at this rate.

Coop vs. AI is riddled with player bots right now and too frequently do they appear in ARAM. Common traits as well are going mid as well as speaking in chat, "Frozen", "GJ", and "WTF"; often too will they disconnect or be executed. You'll see them get stuck at home base as well.

Hopefully Riot finally takes notice of the botting and does something about it. Half the time people just write off the bots as an annoyance without reporting them or anything.
