Bots in Bot matches.

Now from the title I know this might sound counter intuitive but hear me out. Ever since late last season I've noticed a rise in numbers of people using farm scripts in bot matches. So much so that I've been placed in matches were its basically 2v5 or even 1v5 because all these bots do is instalock free to play champs, put on smite and heal and go around getting executed by jungle camps.

Because of this is caused me to actually LOSE BOT MATCHES. I'm not very happy about this and I know that those who are also affected by it generally aren't either. I use Intermediate bots to practice new champions or just to have fun. Not to play a woefully losing match for twenty minutes only to lose because me and whoever gets stuck with me can't 2v5. And even when I report these accounts I don't ever see anything done about it.

So Riot you need to start cracking down on these script accounts because they're ruining an entire section of your game for people who actually want to play. Please and thank you.

If anyone else has anything they'd like to add please feel free to do so. Otherwise have a great day/night, whatever the case may be, and happy hunting summoners.

I posted a thread about the same issue. There is also a new script being used where the champs just run up mid and feed. Those games are even harder to win. I agree this needs to become a priority. I played with a player today and it was their first game. We were the only human players in the game. It was a really bad look for the game. We won because I talked them through it, but it is a real problem. I opened a ticket with the game info the last time I was with 4 accounts running scripts, but I haven't received any reply.

This is very common in the Twisted Treeline 3v3, it is so annoying.

Match make Riot AI instead of other players.

So, the game is 1 human and 9 robots. However, they are Riot robots programmed to win!

If you want to group with a friend, just lower the amount of robots total. Possibly, even craziness like 8 humans and 2 robots.

This doesn't get rid of the account botters. It just separates them from the new players.

Litterally just watched my friend play two of these games in a row. He lost the first game 64/3/17 and is still finishing the second game because he cant quit! his current game is 0 to 62 at 16 minutes.

They aren't take any measure against it, not even very simple ones like a "i'm not a robot" check. ... I wonder why, maybe someone is fine this way :D

The champs I play when I realize that there are team bots: Yasuo Jax Veigar and anyone else who can solo carry Would recomend crit jax, I have 1v5'd bots with it, and it is really fun.

I was thrown into a 1 v 9 yesterday. Myself Vs my 4 bot teammates feeding the 5 bots on the other team. I just gave up and fed too to make the game end faster because - surprise, surprise - bots don't surrender. Riot, you have a responsibility to, at the very least, tell us that you're doing what you can, and acknowledge that the problem exists.

Just report them for 3rd party programs, that's what I do
