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
engage or
escape properly. Thumbs up)
