Bots are out of control

Perissh··11 votes·1,175 views

If you're a 3v3 player rarely does a game go by without at least 1 but usually multiple bots in them. Riot please start banning these accounts...or better yet ban their IP addresses so that they cant continue to ruin games. I report them constantly but the problem remains and its just frustrating to play with them all day.

That is why I stoped laying TT, when the winning team is decided by which one has less bots( or the bot that feeds less) the fun is gone. I even played a game where I was the only one that was not a bot and it was very strange...

Unfortunately Riot doesn't really care that much about treeline. There's a reason they still aren't using the new minion models.

its really not a TT issue though, it's a "someone is using a program to cheat your entire leveling and IP system" problem...you know?

Ah, but it is a TT issue. There's a major botting problem in TT, a minor one in ARAM, and none whatsoever in SR once you pass level 30. Because Riot actually watches SR and bans known bot accounts from there. They let the TT bots stay because again, they don't care.

It is not just a TT issue, Perissh is right. They appear pretty often in ARAM, not much in SR Normals, very often in Co op vs AI Intermediate and rarely in Co op vs AI Beginner

They recently got rid of a lot of bots though, I don't see them as much, but they still a very big problem and it's not just TT.

What I mean is, were these bots in a section of the game Riot actually cared about, they'd be gone in an instant. However, they're not.

Riot doesnt IP ban because they might actually IP ban nuke a college dorm or similar.

then they could at least build an IP list for cheaters and give them much less chances before permabanning accounts for cheating from those IPs

Don't say anything, completely ignore everyone, and go through predetermined motions.

Zaryelle2 votes

Yeah, and one of the dead giveaways is they won't react to ANYTHING you do, like you save them with a heal and they'll run right back into the enemy turret. You give them an easy kill, they run away instead, always running back to turret/minions for no reason.

This is a problem that is only going to get solved by allowing players to create level 30 accounts. But that's not going to happen.

RogueWill2 votes

it will solve nothing since you still will be lacking IP to buy anything (from champions to runes). Although now that i think about it, it might work for smurfs accounts....they probably spend cash into the runes and champiosn anyway and will result in one less problem

ARAM also has it a lot, if you play late at night especially, recently had a game with 6 bots and only 4 real players

Sadly, Riot stopped caring about Twisted Treeline well over a year ago when Season 5 rolled around. If I'm not mistaken, they recently said that if they had made TT today, it would just be on the rotating gamemodes instead of a persistent map.

I'm a huge fan of 3v3s because of its tight competitive gameplay. Sadly, Riot thinks it's a complete joke and doesn't support it, which means the players don't, and that's exactly how Dominion got killed off.

Why dont botters just bot in bot games instead? you'd think there would be less chance of them being found out...

LOL "Day 27 and the bots havn't figured out I'm a bot yet"

Zaryelle2 votes

They do bot a lot in Co op vs AI intermediate, but it ruins the game almost as much cause the enemy bots have scores like 5-8/0 early in the game.

What makes it even worse is that enemy bots will have a full build bu 45 mins regardless of score.
