Bots

Just had this happen http://matchhistory.oce.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/OC1/139370793/202928615?tab=overview

First game i have played in a while, and 8/10 players in this game were bots, i selected Co-op vs bots, not bots vs bots, also i feel dirty for getting any IP for this since the disclaimer clearly states that i need at least 5 real players to get XP.

Out of the 2 real players, i suspect that the other real player was trying to boost the other bot accounts, i kept bringing up the point that the other players were bots and he kept shrugging it off, refusing to acknowledge it.

This is getting really bad, having this many bots in a single game is pretty disgraceful, i dont want to see a game i enjoy get ruined by botting and have this leak out into real games.

I dont need to explain why botting is bad, just pointing out that its happening.

Best of luck sorting this problem out

haha, your game seems pretty good to me. Look at THIS! http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/2744638535/202417800?tab=overview (just finished this one... I was the karma of course, Zed was feeding the same way until half of the game, rest were just bots.) I play against bots to relax but its impossible to play when rest of the team feed enemy so much.

Honestly, I came back to LoL thinking that it would be worth my time (left when they started having this issue). I'm pretty sick of playing with an entire team of bots against humans. It's ridiculous and extremely irritating.

Not to mention the bots against bots in AI. Riot needs to fix this problem ASAP. I'm leaving LoL because you can't play an honest game anymore.

However, I'm not entirely convinced they're bots and not just trolls. What I mean is that you can search them and find their profile. You can tell they're not a real person because their runes are empty, their masteries are empty, and they have very few honors if any at all. They also tend to use the same summoner tags.

I've wasted way too much money on this game and very seriously regret every ounce of it.

Was going to make a thread, but I'm glad someone else is doing something about this. I like to practice new champs vs. bots and I keep getting double bots in say, Twisted Treeline. All seem to follow the same pattern. Heal and Ghost as sums, and lately I keep seeing their screenname feature "Generic name M2 something." Of course they feed like crazy and generally make the game unfun and unwinnable.

I'm curious, don't other games have a system for this?

And my very next game was 2 confirmed bots with 1 other i suspected was a botter and the other player seemed to be there to carry the bots [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Okay, this is just getting stupid, the botters arent even trying!

atleast the old ones fed, currently in a game right now where all 4 allied players are standing at fountain at the 16 min mark, no items, nothing, havent even moved from their spot Literally 4/5 afk players.

I usually pay bots to get back into the swing of things after a long break, which i took last due to the botting, now i just find it really difficult to actually bring myself back to play the game

I get my bonus with a quick bot game in the morning. Literally every game for the past few weeks has had at least one bot in. It's disgusting, and it really bothers me how Riot hasn't commented on it as far as I'm aware :O
