What do I do about botted accounts being on my team?
My last game was a loss in bots. I had 2 disconnects so that put us at a major disadvantage but that cannot be helped since that sort of thing happens. But 1 of my remaining teammates was a botted account. What is a botted account? A botted account is a player on your team who instalocks a champion first thing in lobby and runs ghost/heal. This could be a new player but the instalock thing is your first tip off that it is a botted account. The botted account will say nothing in lobby and when the game loads up they will not move until the minions spawn and at that moment they will purchase one item. That one item is typically boots of speed or a ruby or sapphire crystal. They will rush mid and mindlessly attack the minions and will only buy that one item over and over and over again. So if you see an Ashe mid lane with 5 pairs of boots and has more deaths than CS... there is an outstanding chance it is a botted account. Or in my case a Braum who only bought ruby crystals and then once he had 6 of them upgraded to buy a sight stone. 3 of them. So it was myself and 1 other teammate fighting a 4 man fed bot team. Split push as we tried we could not beat bots who were fed off our 0/22/0 Braum mid. I am not sure what the botted accounts hope to gain from doing this but this happens in every other game of mine so it is a consistent issue that needs addressing. The scene for beginner players is bad enough with the amount of smurfs in PvP lobbies. Now they have to contend with botted accounts making things that much harder for them? Please address this.
