Bots are ruining 3v3. Where's the response from Riot!? I bet I don't get one...

It's come to my attention that Twisted Treeline is running rampant with bots. They auto lock and pick Ghost and Heal as their spells every time. They run straight down lane toward the enemy turret, feeding like mad. I have seen no response from Riot concerning the bots and I wonder WTF is going on here? Do you really not care? I realize the game is "free" but many of us have dumped hundreds of dollars into your pockets. We deserve an explanation or some acknowledgment of the issue. PLEASE start communicating with your player base on this. Thank you for your time.

The yahd a HUGE post about this? Maybe you should look for the answer rather than demanding one? They are throwing bans left and right.

No wonder I can never find a 3v3 match. I end up waiting like nearly 10 minutes or more and still find nothing,and probably would end up with bot teammates instead lol

Careful with what you say to riot. They might ban you like they did to me...

Didn't notice you posted before I made my post, whoops, anyhow such harsh rebuke is unbecoming of anyone who knows riot at all. They are very active and are almost always just around the corner to help- I mean if you play coop vers ai enough where this harshly dampens your spirits, did you bother alerting them to the issues that are also present in them such as tanky ai that just stop moving entirelly? Riot do a hundred and one things right but when something players do goes wrong people try to draw blood from the innocent.

Nonetheless, I sent in a ticket last night around midnight my time (EST) and you should have confidence that they are likely doing something about this- if you think about it though its a very fragile situation as it would be challenging to just remove these bots. Don't go blaming them for taking their time to do something right and instead just alert people as we can.

Not at all trying to be mean, just think though- they do a lot for us and support a great many good things. Would you rather them reply to you or just work on it? Be patient and instead just give your insight on it and help others not play it without knowing. Coop is a huge part of the new player basis so theyre surely working on it~ use forums to help out as you can!

It's league, we have enough sorrow in matchmaking, we should be positive on here and help others!

Easy to fight the feeder bots.

#1. Screenshot the pre-match setup. make sure you notify in your message to support who (bots of course) the accounts are.

#2. try to win.

#3. Take another screenie midgame if you like, it can be passed on though. at this point try and engage the bots with conversation and ping alerts to warn them or get their attention...they never respond, it helps with the request with support.

#4. AFTERGAME : Take a Screenshot (prntScrn button, then copy/paste into an image editing program like paint) save it as REPORT.bmp or whatever you fancy. As well, make use of the report function by hitting the RED ! <--- and choose a complaint...I usually pick assisting enemy or feeding.

#5. Go to Riot Support and fill out the form and UPLOAD your screenshots to them. You will receive an automated reply that your request is in the queue to the email you used.

#6. Go and enjoy your favorite beverage or snack knowing you have helped ruin a cheater's day.

It's not that Riot isnt doing anything, It is the fact that by leaving posts up like this and bringing it up to the general uninformed public it only encourages more people to grind IP with 3v3 games. The best thing to do is to help out by screen shotting the game and sending a Ticket into riot so that players doing this can be punnished.

so its almost a year later and this is still a huge problem. i searched bots in 3v3 and this is the first thing that showed up. now that the raf change has done nothing to combat the number of bots in this game mode has riot made any other plans to stop or at least stem the tide of bots?

im going to keep looking so i apologize if an answer is already out there. im getting really tired of filling out report forms and tickets
