BOTS

I am just curious if Riot even cares about people buying and selling accounts. I have more accounts than the average person. I havent played LOL that long and i realized from the very begining that i was in trouble. Everyone was way better at the game than me. No matter what i did or what mode i played i was way behind the average person. I had to play Bots alot. To learn all the champions and learn what to do and what not to do. So i had to start over a few times until my skill level was even close to the average player. Dont get me wrong. Im not complaining about smurfs in general but lets just say that 90 percent of the players i ever played with already had level 30 accounts and was smurfing. My problem is with all the non humans i have played with while i learned how to play this game. It is honestly crazy and im just curious if RIOT evem cares. I am almost level 30 on this account and i plan to finally play ranked. But i just got out of a game with a level 24 BOT. How did a bot get to level 24 if people have reported it over the last month. Or how did it get to level 24 if RIOT has "BOT finding" software. I noticed that most of the BOTS where in ARAM and Twisted Treeline. But honestly 50 percent of my leveling was done with non humans up to level 20 and still some after that. And this was on more than 3 accounts. Does Riot even care or do they just promote the selling of accounts. Did all the reporting i did on bots even matter? Did i even get 1 or 2 accounts deleted by reporting the bots or did i just waste my time cause they give no shits?

I just have one tid bit of advice for you. Don't immediately jump into ranked when you hit 30. Take your time and learn as much as you can before you do. It will save you some grief.

Honestly I don't think they care. I stopped playing for over year and came back to this. I have been playing aram to get back used to the game / skills/ champs/ ext. It is UNREAL!!!! Games with 3 bots on a team is beyond bull crap. Waste of time. also above frustrating. Just had a game with a total of SIX BOTS! seriously. So tired of the losses racking up, not having any shred of fun and getting carpal tunnel from the reporting. averaging 2-3 bots EVERY game.

Just played a game with a total of 7 bots..... this is out of control can we hear back from a mod about whats going on with this? in reports pretty sure using 3rd party programs should really take priority over anything else. when someone gets 7+ reports ( if there are that many human players to report) in ONE game that SHOULD be a red flag. Ive gotten warnings and 12 hour bans before for 'language' before the SAME day I did it. so really not seeing how these going on to reach over lvl 5.....

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple to get rid of bots. While Riot updates its bot-detection systems, botters update their bots to circumvent those systems. As such, Riot bans bots in waves to avoid tipping off botters on what caused the ban. Reporting the bots helps Riot continue to improve their bot detection.

Anyway, you can generally avoid most bots by being level 30 and winning some games to raise your MMR. Bots aren't particularly good, so they tend to stay around low-MMR brackets.

Riot doesn't care, they like to count the bots as players and pretend the game isn't dying. Also they can sell yasuo and riven skins to the ban evaders who buy the bot accounts.
