Bots in Arams

Mr Raccoon·1/19/2017, 8:01:06 PM·14 votes·2,021 views

I play quite a lot of aram games ,what got my attention lately were players with no keystone who run in to the middle of the map and keep dying. They do not reply on any messages , and all they do is die, sometimes they do luckily take a kill.

Those players are obviously bots. We meet them more and more often and it is not fun to have them on your team nor is it fun meeting a 4 man enemy team.

Please do something about the bots because it really is a big problem. summoner 3

Unfortunately you have to play a lot of normals or ranked to start seeing less of them in ARAM. It's pretty stupid that if you play ARAM alone you'll still be seeing bots at high level sometimes, they just become less obvious. Instead of all 3 bots turret diving at once they'll play super defensively, to the point of almost being AFK, so they don't really get detected except by the players in the game who can see they're not doing shit all game.

If you play super late at night I still see them though, it's not a small problem. I remember one game had only 4 real players, and 6 bots. It was undeniable as the 3 bots on each team would stay behind turrets unless their human teammates would go past the turret, then all 3 of them would full dive into turret until all 3 of them were dead. This is all they did the whole game, all 6 bots

Yup. Then some idiot on my team doesn't realize they are bots and starts blaming me while 2 of our teammates do nothing but run straight into turrets over and over.

I always get this one bot (in SR not ARAM) who buys 1 pink ward at the beginning and never uses it. It doesn't use skills all game it just autos then usually stands in the middle of 2 enemies until it dies every time.

Your base mmr for aram is low, as you start climbing the ladder of mmr in aram, you will see alot less "bots"

Don't worry. The more Riot admits they're not paying attention to TT, the more botters will go there. Until they eventually delete it. Then ALL of them will go to ARAM until it gets Dominioned also.

Personally I report them for cheating and intentionally feeding, In the description I write: "Bots". It is probably the fastest way to help them to a ban.

I noticed most of them take barrier/heal and just run it down mid until they die, its not really fun to have or play against

Tonight my friend played an ARAM and he was the only player. There were 9 bots! He wrote in All-Chat and asked if there's anyone who is not a bot. No response. So he watched their playstyle... well... all of them were ignoring tower shots, heal power ups and other players, they rarely used summoner spells, never ran into a bush and everyone walked the same path over and over again. Also nobody moved until 60 seconds were over. He reported them all. His account is lvl 30, but he didn't play last season, but I am still asking myself what has to happen to an account to drop into this bothole. smh

I thought people wanted bots to be available on howling abyss

Hey there, I agree that bots right now are a huge problem in ARAM

In fact last week I had an Elise who used flash constantly every time it was off cooldown and would heal at full health. There's not that much you can do about this since they're sooo common. Make sure to report every bot you see and always alert the team to the bot.

Signs of botting are:

Misuse of Summoner Spells No use of items No use of abiilities Very little movement constantly dying to turrets

Make sure you don't end up banning a real player for botting by accident.

Hope you find less bots in your games, and good luck [slayer-jinx-wink]
