Player Bots - 3 in 1 Game - Waste of 30 Minutes

I just got out of a bot game... 3 of my teammates were Shen, Blitz, and Lee. My first thought was "oh my god... no way." There was one real person who actually wanted to play the match out.

Since I am OBLIGATED by Riot to suffer through BS matches, why is it that Riot cannot keep these player bots out of our games? How much money have I put into this game? $1,000 - $2,000? I don't even know.

Literally a waste of 30 minutes because I must stay despite the circumstances. How is this not able to be fixed? I expect more out of an Indie game that costs $5.

They do ban the bots, problem is that people keep making more of them to level and sell accounts. They have been hunting down scripting companies in court and winning, but they can't be everywhere at once. They also ban in waves so that the scripters have a harder time figuring out what exactly in the script got them banned.

Best way for us to help is by reporting the bots after the game and explaining in the comment box why we know they are bots (we can tell the difference between a bot and a new player better since we are in the game with them).

I was with you up until the part where you start talking about throwing money around like a douche like anyone would care....

To be fair, why are you playing an AI game? I enjoy the "challenge" of winning with bots. Not because it is hard, but because I actually get a chance to build 5-6 items because they suck. And in the end, it is still a very fast game. You still win and get first win of day.

It sucks to be in games with botters. I wish I could tell you that it is an isolated experience but it totally isn't.

I've been in games with bots and it's really frustrating on both sides. It's not a satisfying game when you beat bots, it's not fun playing with bots.
