Third party programs

This is an issue that is continually getting worse in the lol community. I have played thousands of games and the worst issue that I've found is that I run into a "bot" simulation program that just plays the game doesn't do anything other than feeding the other team and riot doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. At first I only found them in aram but now I've found them spread around other game modes. I'm sick going 30-5-20 and they are just stomping through us bc we have 3 players that are 0-16 and just walking though towers and champions to the other nexus.

Aram= a mode a small % of the community cares about Dominion had the same issues, riot can do what they did to that and we'd see no more aram bots

TBF you will climb above bots mmr in any other gamemode fairly quickly, so after a few games in a mode, your mmr should be placed with active users over bots.(unless you're just losing games consistently like less than 30% win rate)

Riot bans bots in waves, as to catch many without letting the bot makers know exactly what the trigger was. Aram hasn't been touched in any large way in over a year....... if a small community of avid players want to play the mode that is fine, they need to expect that the game mode will be ignored often for larger more important aspects of the game

Ranked rift/tt--> draft--> normal-->random game mode---> bots--->aram/dominion and guess what was dropped because the community was so low, and it was so abused with botting..... ARAM is floating because someone at riot wants it to exist, because the community wanted it to exist. Im not saying its a bad game mode, but if it is plagued with bots just remove it, add it to the rotating game mode.

Just because its small, doesn't mean the creators should not care. The amount of bots in aram this week has been unplayable. Two on a team, one on the other, two games in a row with the same bot. Just shouldnt be happening. It isnt going to drive people to other modes, its just makes us stop playing. A simple bot check would fix this.

Okay, make the simple bot check program and give it to league. Its simple.....

If you only play aram, then thats great.

From what I've learned in the pat 20 days having an mmr over 1k in aram typically gets you out of bot matches https://na.whatismymmr.com/PoopedInUrPocket as yours is under 1k, you will experience more bot matches

Or they could put in a bot check at matchmaking. something akin to a captcha that requires human interface to pass. akin to, not exactly obviously. This isn't some NASA grade groundbreaking technology to be able to filter out bots. Yes. they obviously care very little to clean up ARAM or even look at it ever. But don't give me "small community of players" talk when the only people that know how many people play it are Riot, and they would never reveal those numbers. If it is relevant enough to exist it should be kept playable. Multiple games in a row ruined by bots is not acceptable.
