I've been bitching about it on twitter and Riot Games Support is nice enough to reply me and they bring me here

For players who mainly play VS with computer I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with bot players

They wanders around different lanes, walk straight into enemy skill shots, or just simply walk straight towards towers and kill themselves

Bot accounts like these are simply bad, and the worst thing about it they're like cancer, you leave them there for too long and they start spreading, eventually ruining the whole game title

So, have the Riot team every think about having a bot check system? It is something so simple, yet so important

  • "Select all images with Poro" I'm using what we've got here, but with all those Summer Icons in game, this shouldn't be too hard

  • "Type the words above" Have people type in "Hasagi" or "Demacia" for fun and lol'z "Graves' cigar" or "Star Guardian Urgot"

Of course people are going to be annoyed about it and I'm not talking about having a bot check every time when you start a match have a bot check on the first game of the day, and every few whenever they keep playing non-stop

For players who follows the rule and helping out finishing the bot check maybe reward them with a little extra something (blue essence?) when they finish the next match? not something too crazy, but a simple thanks for supporting and not cheating

For players who failed to finish the bot check Exp and blue essence will become lesser, and another bot check will be required for the next match failing it multiple times will completely remove all exp and blue essence gain when the match ends further more will lower honor levels and will not be able to join matches for a certain time

Something I want to point out is that when people leave the game when there are teammates who failed on bot check The penalty for leaving the game should be removed Sorry, but I ain't spending that whole lot of time not enjoying my game When I can leave and actually have fun on another game with humans

I simply don't play rank match after knowing how much bot accounts there are Imagine a few bot account just go and ruin your whole match not once, but frequently All those hard work, a simple bot ruins it all

So please Riot Please think about making a bot check system

and I assume Rito going to have to pay someone full time to re-do these "checks" on a weekly basis when bot developer programmed in ways to complete your silly "checks" all the while, legitimate beginners and other players getting affected by this silly thing?

I'm guessing the bots are created by Riot to fill in when the game can't find players fast enough.

You can identify bots on the ally team like so:

  1. They take ghost + heal
  2. They buy boots as their first purchase

Both today and yesterday there have been bots on the ally team in almost every PvE game I've played, which suggests that there's less people playing intermediate bots.

Are you seeing these bots in PvP matches as well?
