i hate how they pretend to communicate with us about the game in a lot of aspects. but nope, people buy level 30 accounts, and if they didnt, they wont be playing, and if they're not playing they're not spending money. lying ass hypocrites

"cheating" is fine already. It is the use of inappropriate 3rd party program usage.

I just played a game with 9 bots in ARAM, I had no idea what went on the entire time. I looked at all their accounts and they only had one game, the game that I just played. I didn't report them because I was so confused. .-.

What is the point of botting now I understand when there was refer a friend but why now what's the point beside making the game miserable for other people

The problem with this: Unless they've been changed since the players made judgements in the tribunal, the cases merely have a few games with the following information: -The chat logs, with timestamps -The champion lineup -Each champion's endgame build -Each champion's endgame score -The game result (which team won) -The reporting players' teams, offenses reported, and their personal comments.

In order for this to work, the cases need to include more information. Here's a list of things cases should also include (both for bottng to be reportable, and, well, for common sense in my opinion):

-The reporting players' champions -If it is draft pick, each champion's role should be mentioned. An option to trade roles in pregame lobbies could prevent confusion should anyone trade. This could help detect players that just pull the trigger on the support when they lose. -Chat logs should include each ping made (I am sick and tired of ping spamming). -Each death recap. This should be exhaustive, and should include each attack made in battle, including the attacks and spells the dead player did and how much damage the dead player did. It should also include the location of the fight. It should also include the scores for each player involved during the fight, including creep score. -Objective taking should also be in the logs. Bots don't flash in at Drake and snatch it from five players, even if it ends up being a one way trip. -When a turret or inhibitor gets destroyed, the logs should also include a death recap, complete with everything mentioned in this list's fourth hyphen (excluding the turret's creep score).

(These improvements can improve a lot of things, but for the sake of your original point, I'll keep my topic on botting. Feel free to ask about anything else in a reply)

This will help detect bots easily for many ways. For one, I will admit this: I play like Tiger Woods. I play well, but I tend to choke a lot. I rarely play decently. I either tear it up or I get it handed to me on a plate. This does NOT make me a bot. Bots run on programs, so they always follow an algorithm without regards for its own safety, the greater good of the team, or catching any opponent off guard. We've all played Co-op, and eventually those bots become too predictable to even practice a new champion with. An actual human player, no matter how badly they play, will at least be somewhat unpredictable. They tend to at least know that they are doing bad, so they may hang back when laning, focus on farming an empty lane to try to catch up, or start fleeing duels earlier and more often. Bots never adapt to the situation like that, unless their algorithms tell it to.

My essay took up too much space. It's 7:40am on my day off, I'm going back to bed.

No it isn't necessary.

cmfm12/14/2016, 12:00:00 AM1 votes

This problem in completely out of control. At least 3 bots per game, usually more.

Its just ridiculous.

You can just put it under Cheating you know. That's there for that reason. Botting is usually run by a SCRIPT and scripts are CHEATING.
