4 player bots on her team which keep feeding and taking her jungle vs the riot-bots. she cant leave either because she is on a leavebuster. due to getting paired... WITH BOTS!

ps: i need to quote what she said when i told her she needs to censor the names even tho they are bots "what brainless idiot says you have to blurr the name of very clearly bots!? arent they supposed to get banned? so why am i not allowed to help with that?" then i told her to report them which she responded "i did and didnt you tell me i get a feedback message eventually or something? its been weeks and i got NOTHING!"

well she got a good point lol. poor jen

EDIT: https://puu.sh/zj73a/dea06da19c.jpg yea no. i clearly have no idea how riot detects bots. if riot would ban them right away, im pretty sure botters would figure out how their bots are detected. clearly no pattern or clue here how riot is detecting bots. but i dont wanna start this pointless discussion again... let them ruin another 200-300 games. man i cant imagine how riot detects bots. they must be like stephen hawkings, 195IQ smart people to find out whos a real player and whos a bot. i could never do this, i'm way too dumb, i couldnt tell you if any one these are bots. no clue man. no patter nothing to help you figure out if these are bots

You don't get notifications from bans for 3rd party software. (botting)

I had a lot of trouble with this when I was just getting started. Riot's official policy seems to be to shrug and act perplexed, like they have no idea what people who complain about bots could possibly be talking about, since publicly addressing the issue would alert more people to the fact that it's not only possible to run bot accounts but it's widely done.

are you german? cause of your name.

also my problem is the fact that riot AND THE COMMUNITY defend the "ban them in waves so botters dont know how we detect them" idea. even tho every person who is not blind can see it. i showed this screenshot to a person who never played LoL and asked him what is wrong with this screenshot. and he said all 5 of these have the same items. i mean yea my friend played jungle, but even he realized somethings fishy here

I studied in Germany and worked in Austria for a few years.

The one time someone from Riot replied to a comment I'd made about this, he wanted to know why I believed these players were bots. I summarized all the usual patterns that were a dead giveaway at that time (mid 2014) - they would keep buying multiples of the same items, fire skillshots in random directions, sometimes they would all run in the same direction, they always had ghost and heal back then, and their summoner names usually followed a pattern of two shorter names put together. I included screenshots. I guess even they realized they wouldn't be taken seriously if they claimed that they saw no evidence of bot activity in everything I showed them, so they simply did not comment. :p

They know it's happening, but they're supposed to pretend like they don't. It would probably be difficult to ban them automatically without some genuinely new players getting mistaken for bots. The good news is eventually your friend's MMR will rise to a level where she won't get matched with them anymore.

Klagenfurt! Near Klagenfurt, anyway. I was in Klagenfurt pretty often and always saw the statue with of the lindwurm and Hercules. I've also been to Salzburg.

It's a good name to use because no one has ever already taken it.

Probably, when she fights her way out of the bot wasteland, that's when she'll enter the realm of smurf accounts. Should be lots of rage and flaming to look forward to then. :p
