Bots

JettSpeed··6 votes·1,008 views

What is up with all these bots I've been seeing lately. There's clearly a difference between someone playing bad and a bot that never uses a single ability all game and just auto attacks and walks into 5v1 and doesn't even try to escape. Anyone else seeing this happen?

yeah they are in just about every aram game. scripts are intrusive, they make plays on the code. a example is that they can dodge abilities before you can even see the visuals for the ability

its because of riots failure report system that works so well and it allows the cancer to easily remake accounts they need to stop every thing and get to work on the games integrity which is nonexistent out side of chat bans which while bullshit atleast match the rules

I see them all of the time in Twisted Treeline, but not in 5v5.

I have never seen this on any map, and i play a good deal of aram/treeline.. Is this a low level thing, or have they started appearing at lv30?

I see a lot of really awful players in aram, but not bot-level awful. Most of them talk shit while they feed.

They're fairly common in 3v3 Intermediate bot games, which is a fast way to level accounts.

Poeple.. play bot games...

..for exp?

BladeSteel1 votes

Yes? They set up a bot account which will just play game after game after game, gaining xp and leveling up. Then they sell said account to someone for money.

this should not be a thing its not fare to the ppl who play for fun and work for there stats and actually need a team not a bunch of farmers and dead soulless beings it pisses me off and makes me sick how can i enjoy a game that i almost have to run myself if i ever see this behaver i'm reporting them its just not cool and kinda the reason why pay to win is now banned in games.... just wow

Yeah. You buy XP boosts and get 200+ XP a game from 7-10 minute Twisted Treeline bot games.

MagicFlyingLlama1 votes

People buy exp boosts, and then waste them on bot games?

Kids these days.

Its actually the fastest way, as its a guaranteed win and if you do it correctly it takes less than 10 minutes.

Riot doesn't do much discussion on players using bots/scripts or other forms of cheating. riot is doing a lot against bots. The Teemoing has a ton of bots in it, and aram is loaded with scripters.

you can always report them at the end of the game for cheating.

but does it do anything? im seeing this is three months ago. i just finished a game on twisted treeline where 4 of the 6 players where clearly ai controlled. i have so as of writing this not seen riot address this issue in a single of the forums that talk about it. is this their way of saying they have no idea how to deal with it? they dont want to deal with it? idk because i cant get an answer from them

They should just let the bots be able to auto farm the AI with same exp as pvp. I've been level 30 for like 5 years lol.

Or get rid of them completely. I like this idea better.

You don't know how MMR works do you? Bots win less than 50% of their games, because they put a strain on the team. So their MMR only drops. Which means they never go above the baseline. All you need to do is play a few games and outgrow the baseline. Which, considering it's full of bots, should be easy. Even if you are bad. You are still better than bots. MMR rises, matchmaking stops matching you with bots.

How is this bullcrap?

I refuse to play this game from now until RIOT email me to tell me they are doing anything about it. I have even sent bug reports with summoner names in to get them to delete the accounts, haven't heard anything from them. I don't understand why people playing this game want to ruin it for everyone else, I hope they end up playing in a team with their own bots and see what it's actually like... If I want to play in a game with bots I will create a custom game and play with/against those... at least those actual have some intelligence to them How about offering the people creating the bots a job at riot, then when they get there you just delete their accounts and send them on their way, waste their time the same way they are wasting everyone else's...

The last month its gotten so bad it isn't worth playing co-op vs AI. There are 2-3-4 autoplay bots every match. My last 3-4 games have had 3-4 bots and I lose the match, get frustrated and log off. Amazing that Riot does nothing about this. I think its time to go back to DOTA or find a new game. Too bad.
