Bots in ranked

I just finished a terrible ranked game as a support of a bot MissFortune and this is not just a suspicion , I am absolute . In the champion selection everything was fine she used the chat without any problems and there was not even any kind of tension in my team . Nevertheless when the game started she was acting strangely . First she left far before we had secured the jg camp and when we got to lane the only thing she would do was just walk back and forth using abilities without an apparent reason , missing almost all the creeps and going in as if she was trying to suicide (and she did died 3 times in the first 6 minutes). I tried to talk to her several times asking for an explanation but I got no answer at all. If that is not the case she was probably a player who muted everyone in order to int. Finally I would appreciate it if you could tell me a way to report her because my client crashed before i was able to do so. Riot , i want you to know that that kind of behavior in ranked games should not be tolerated and maybe its time to get a little more strict . -AnastasRA1

I just had this happen to me. He never spoke went rammus blind into malz only auto what was close to him then eventually died he never bought items and never stoped noting he went to each lane and did this. Just autoing minions then inting after he would get caught just farming. Lost 16 lp... shame

i'm here to confirm that bots do exist in ranked, i've run into a few on OCE but the bot was malfunctioning repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting. I later investigated that suspected bot and saw that they had been doing the same thing for a few games causing 20minute FFs with the bot staying at level 1 throughout without being flagged with 'leave' in the match history. It later got permabanned.

that was in dec 2016, I believe they may have fully fleshed out a working script by now.

LITERALLY just happened to me. Not gonna lie i straight quit a ranked game because my support senna wouldnt stop autoing everything, pushing wave and literally just running into enemy team. wouldnt help in fights and only knew how to use the heal ability. not once went invis or threw the snare. Whats up with this? actually ruined a ranked game for me (i inturn ruined it for everyone else, so i deserve at the very least a report) but it was so annoying.

Wait, you mean that 0-13 Yasuo in my game was a bot? Do they program them to rage at the jungler?

It's been going on like crazy this week. They usually have names with "Panda <something>"

This same thing happened to me last night. The AI player was a legitimate beginner mode bot. It was a mid lane Lux by the summoner name "WhatTheEvenHeck".

I have been playing LoL since beta and if this becomes a normal occurrence, I am going to stop playing LoL. It was beyond infuriating.

@OP: If you crashed out, you can still submit a support ticket to report the bot. It's not that Riot will ignore them, it's that it's more efficient to use the post-game report system.

Just remember they can't tell you what, if any, actions they take regarding the other account.
