_Yes, but what about the bots on Twisted Treeline?_

Post this is random discussions to raise awareness if you care at all. This has become a huge problem and I have yet to find a single Riot response after searching for nearly two hours. This is a gametype ruining issue that has yet to be addressed on any level. I'm sure if this was occurring on SR, normal or ranked, it would be their top priority. I'm just mindblown as to the lack of attention they seem to be paying this. I say this because I'm sure they have SOMEONE doing SOMETHING about it, I'd hope....

Banning bots sure as hell does nothing. Accounts are free, instant, and bot programs aren't going to stop running when they can just move onto the next account (and continue ruining games).

The root of the problem needs to be dealt with, and that problem is the exp/ip grind. End of story.

IP banning is a thing.

IP banning is a thing.

So are proxies, and account selling sweatshops don't care if it gives them a bad connection.

Proxies are also easily detectable, and the people using scripts often didn't write them so i find it highly unlikely they would know how to bypass a proxy blocker. Just because people can get around something is no reason to not implement it if does help the situation.

Even if you want to believe it would, Riot is in no way going to devote the effort to tracking down and verifying every individual botter, especially when they're mostly infesting maps that they don't even give a shit about.

That's EXACTLY the problem OP is talking about. So they should give a shit, or if they are no longer going to support the maps why are they even still there? They are pointing out the issue, whether you support the game mode or not it is a part of the game and riot needs to put effort into preventing cheaters.

It's been known about for a long time.

And they did make a global announcement recently about auto-bans against detected bots.

What makes me mad, is that we have to play the game until it ends or take a penalty for leaving... ITS WASTING OUR TIME TO PLAY WITH BOTS! They need to make an option to where u can leave if bots are detected without penalty. I just played two games in a row with the the exact same two bots from last game. Unbelievable!!!!!

Riot posted an announcement a few months back about banning bots. Given that Riot can't go into detail, I'm not sure what else they can say about the problem. Regular notices about bot bans might be good for morale, but would probably quickly get tiresome. As with excluding "botting" as a report category, Riot might also be worried about drawing extra attention to bot programs.
