Too many AI's in Beginner Bots

Athens Aegis··5 votes·1,488 views

Like seriously, wtf is this? I've been getting at least one person who literally runs it down mid every single game nonstop feeding the mid laner in beginner bots. I'm new to league, and I can't even properly play. Today, I literally was the only person playing in the game, and all 4 of my teammates were running it down mid. Why do so many people do this, and why aren't these people banned?

If you reported them after the game, then that's all you need to do. I would suggest taking down the screenshot as Name and Shame is against the Universal Board Rules.

It's exceptionally unlucky that you had this happen, but those are accounts that are being run by botting programs. These accounts get banned in waves to prevent them from understanding how they're getting detected.

Whenever you create an account select the second option not the first one (I believe it says beginner, medium and veteran or something like that). If you select veteran you will be matched against mostly smurfs and if you select begginer is mostly self leveling accounts. Is a know problem so you just have to go and select the mid one for a balanced experience

That option doesn't exist anymore. The changed it to a way that the system automaticly sees how you play and q's you up with players that play like you (smurfs). Doesn't count for bot games tho.

I havent created a new account in over 2 years so you might be right. Guess eventually he will play with normal people then.

There is no way this works that way. Doesn't matter what account I am on, if I queue for a bot game I am getting no less than 1 scripting account in the game. The worst part is a new player goes through the tutorial and gets moved on to beginner bots as their option to play the game and have no idea what is happening when 3 people on their team buy now items, kill no minions, and run up midlane to die to ryze or annie under turret.

I just log in on my level 7 account. And I played a bot game. Not a single scripter. Like I said I checked veterans. Then again you could go for normal games instead of bots. I think it gets unlocked at level 5

Be prepared: This will happen even if you are well beyond lv 30. With Quests to do, there is nothing better than getting 9 Bots in Aram Matches

Hi Athens Aegis,

Like others said, we don't allow naming and shaming on the boards, regardless of evidence. I've removed your pictures showing the names of the other players.

Riot does ban people who bot, as you keep leveling, you'll see less and less. Right now, you're low enough level that a lot of fresh accounts made for botting haven't been flagged/banned yet, as they may only be hours old. You can help by reporting them, and know that it will get better!

You can level all you want, but it won't change the density of bots in AI matches. Level 54, over 500 intermediate bots games under my belt, just messing around with casual friends, and it's still a pervasive issue. Oh sure, after one of the occasional wave of bans it gets better for a couple weeks, then the sick cycle starts all over again.

Right before the most recent wave of bans in the past couple weeks it was 2-3 bots dense per match. You had to bring a premade of 3+ with you just to avoid the worst of it.

Seriously every time I see smite in champ select, or that damn right facing wolf summoner icon, I can only hope that the dumb schmuck that buys the account gets fried after dumping a ton of RP into the account only to cry on these boards that they were unfairly banned for 3rd party software.
