right cause who cares about bots that ruin games and cheat the system to power level their accounts. instead lets focus on making some more skins.
Riot cares, obviously. That's why botting is a bannable offense - but merely banning individual bot accounts isn't going to stop the problem, which is why they're trying to address the reasons people make them/buy them. That's a large part of why RAF was shut down.
i thought you just said none of the systems address bots. make ur mind up before speaking.
I said none of the systems that I know of address bots. That doesn't mean other systems don't exist - only that I don't know about them.
secondly there obviously insnt any automation to the detection if the same bots are still running rampant from 2 years ago. go make an account to around lvl 8 or 10 and play aram and see how 60% of the players are bots like these:
I suspect there's two reasons for this:
- Bots are typically designed to interact exclusively with the mouse/keyboard inputs, rather than the client itself. This makes validation of their presence more complicated than otherwise, because the client doesn't know the difference between bot-triggered mouse clicks and person-triggered mouse clicks. As such, it takes an unfortunate amount of time to detect them, and longer still to validate and issue bans.
- Botters can make and level new bot accounts faster than Riot can detect them - meaning that while many are being banned, many more aren't - or are taking too long to get banned. This is another point in favor of a preventative approach (that is, removing the reasons for botting, rather than trying to keep with removing the individual bot accounts).
That's not to say that either of these is an acceptable situation - only that it's more complicated than it seems on the surface. As such, it's hard for me to fault them for still trying to find the most effective solution (while they're also trying to work on other issues).
what anti-botting bans? you mean the one that doesnt exist?
If bot accounts aren't banned, why aren't there more bots in the lvl 15-25 range?
I am the OP.
In the context of that statement, OP meant "Original Post," rather than "Original Poster." My apologies for the lack of clarity.
I still don't understand what this point has to do with that original post, since you were talking about ban waves.
