im paying good money to level quickly to 30 with xp and ip boosts as done on many alts and now due to botters in games its taking up to 45 mins to an hour somtimes because im having to 1v5 or 2v5 half the time due to botters running up and dying and feeding the bots. please crack down ive prob reported near 30 or so plz ban them.
Troll Armada1 votesyeah. i remember when I first started playing league.
sure there were bots then.
now games pre-30 are like a funeral. nobody says anything.
RuRuRuRuRuRuRu2g1 votesyes im averaging about 2 or 3 per games on my level 20 acct they are even programmed to say wtf damn and lol somtimes riot just needs to ip ban them on site when reported.
Troll Armada1 votes...and the fact you can tell, means that these are bottom of the barrel botters.
IP bans won't do much and can have unintended consequences. However, I do support baning VPN IP addresses many of which are unique and don't change.
there is lots of jabber on the boards about legit uses of VPN's to solve all sorts of issues, such as 'lag' howeve, I have not seen 1 bit of evidence that there is a VPN the lessens lag. If anything a vpn is going to increase lag.
this is computers for dummies 101, and if there were such an issue, then modifying your dns servers would have the same effect.
(speaking of which, I routinely change and refresh my ip along with several other things on my computer, as a standard security measure, especially after playing league for an extended period and/or downloading game of thrones.)
RuRuRuRuRuRuRu2g1 votesexactly thats why instant ip bans are needed ive spent a couple grand on this game since s2 older players dont deserve this inconvience whatsoever 1 hr bot games for 500xp is an utter waste of time.
Troll Armada1 votesyes, but i'm not sure you understand, baning personal ip addresses in most cases, will do virtually nothing except stop that person for approximately 5 minutes.
RuRuRuRuRuRuRu2g1 votescant they do anything other than just permabanning the acct?
Troll Armada1 votesIn regards to IP addresses, no. Most internet service providers in the US assign/reassign IP addresses to their users constantly. Obtaining a dedicated IP address is seen as a premium service.*
However, most VPN prvoviders do have dedicated or semi-dedicated IP addresses assigned to their company. Although these also CAN constantly change and have new IP's added, usually, it is not often enought to be a problem. the task of blocking them is manageable, and there are even many public/paid list services which do this for you.
* Furthermore, there is a significant portion of players who play from Internet Cafe's, perhaps not as common in the US as in other spots, however, banning the IP will ban everyone there. I've seen this before actually, when some fool banned am internet cafe from a specific teamspeak server, now nobody at that cafe can access that server because 1 person did something
also there is this myth that a "gaming" vpn will reduce your lag. this is a simple illustration of the absurdity of this claim:
without VPN
A ----> B -----> C
with a VPN
A ----> B -----> VPN ---> C
(the only way possible that 'lag' could be reduced would be if an ISP is actively packet shaping gaming traffic. but then that would mean that the overhead of encryption would have to be less than the performace lag associated with extra hops)
Therefore it is my assertion that VPN users deserve special attention by Riot in general, if not an outright ban.
RuRuRuRuRuRuRu2g1 votesi feel ya dude guess im just annoyed im paying money to level and its taking as much time as not buying boosts haha.
welovegag1 votesIt hasnt changed a bit after i tried to level up with new acc recently. Try out other server like korea or TW; people make more sense than in NA
RuRuRuRuRuRuRu2g1 votesi would but i play on 5 ping on na would hate to give that up for 150-200
