Bots ruining 3 v 3 Twisted Treeline

itsCHANCEyo·9/28/2014, 5:26:35 PM·47 votes·11,038 views

Hey guys... Just thought I'd make a post about the recent influx of bots ruining the 3v3 Twisted Treeline queue. Hoping that Riot with see this and try to help ;( Just got banned from queue for 15 minutes because I dodge a game with 2 bots. So I thought now would be a good time to write a post ;P

Bots always -Pick Summoner Spells ghost and flash -choose one character, and instantly lock it in -don't talk during champ select -once game starts, they run to bottom lane, and proceed to attack anything in front of them ;( until they die -repeat

Something has happened just within the past week or so to make this problem grow exponentially. Not sure what it is? But as it stands, 3 v 3 is becoming unplayable. It's my main game mode of choice, and is growing extremely annoying. It's not fun for anyone in the game, and basically turns any game with a bot into a complete waste of 15-30 minutes... since the bot will never select to surrender ;( And as stated before, I was just banned from queue for 15 minutes, because I dodged a game with two bots on my team. PLZ riot... I'm not sure what all it takes to combat a problem like this, but if you could at least let us know that you've noticed the issue too, it would put a lot of us at ease. Right now, it's seeming like a hopeless situation. Sorry for my rant-like post... but dang, it's getting pretty frustrating. Anyone else? Hopefully enough of us can post about the problem here on General Discussion so that Riot might see. Thanks for anything you can do to help, Riot! We love you and League! ;D

YES! Im growing so frustrated with this! It seems to happen a lot worse the later it is in the night. I hate being punished for dodging a game with bots in it, and it seems that every game has at least 1 now. I actually played a game last night where i was the only non-bot player on both teams. This is awful and its completely ruining the game for me, i dont even want to play anymore. RIOT WHY WONT U RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM. Please do something, ANYTHING, this is really happening, all the time.

Yeah I notice this too. Out of the last 8 games I played on TT I have had 2 bots.

42 up and riot doesn't respond once... I love this game... but I'm getting really angery

Yeah, they're getting pretty bad! I've even seen one in ARAM now.

I recorded this game.. It's awful quality, but This is what the bots do, how they act, and their player names. It's very much NOT-A-Riot Bot.

its getting just as bad in dominion pvp...its obnoxious...theyre patterns in dominion is to always pick summoner spells heal and flash sometimes barrier and heal and all they do is run through the middle of the map from base or directly towards turret capture and proceed to walk by any enemies low or not to get to the nxt turret and even if it is captured or under enemy protection they will proceed to, under turret, attack whomever and only seem to engage when there is a turret involved even if it results in theyre death, on one side of things i cant complain when on a good player team these bots offer easy kills, but takes honestly all the fun out of it being PVP....its one thing to actually have bots labeled as bots AND ACTUALLY ACTING AS BOTS DO, which in most modes bots WILL GO FOR THE KILL, WORK TOGETHER TO AN EXTENT AND AVOID DEATH...however these "PLAYERBOTS" seem to have only ONE focus and thats to strip down to the bare basics of the purpose at hand and avoid all other objectives even at the cost of theyre death and ultimately the loss of several team fights, turret captures, and the whole game for whatever team theyre or more or if any "PLAYERBOTS" present on said team

Some of responding now with things such as " this champ is so difficult to play" or " my right-click won't work". They are trying to deceive people now. This ruins the fun out of this mode. God Riot do something!

It's complete BS it's ruining the game for me.

Just finished a 3v3 game on TT where the only human players were myself and my brother. We could tell from their horrible, repetitive "let me run straight into you and you go ahead and kill me" gameplay. Also, if you view the game on lolnexus.com, you can see that all the bot's rune pages are named the same.

Account botters get:

Lvl 30 accounts which they can sell online for real money
RP on their main account every time their bots reach lvl 10 after using their referral link
risk of their main account getting banned

Human players get:

A crappy game
Grinding? Just kill the bots over and over to artificially inflate your XP?
A chance to actually kill the big spider?
Fast queue times at night???

Blah what a boring game though. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Hey botters, at least make them a little harder! 1 step above "Intermediate" level would be nice. k thanks.

I just finished a game myfself. I solo queued and got into game. It has been sometime since I TT'ed so i wondered if ghost and heal were so common now. I decided flash and exhaust seemed better with Cho. I proceed to play and realize that everyone else is a bot described in this post. I then google search to find this post a get my confirmation.

For that Thanks to this thread! I did go 27/0 lol and at one point started loading up the bots on my team with kills.

I just finished a game myself. I solo queued and got into game. It has been sometime since I TT'ed so i wondered if ghost summoner 6 and heal summoner 7 were so common now. I decided flash summoner 4 and exhaust summoner 3 seemed better with Cho Chogath . I proceed to play and realize that everyone else is a bot described in this post. I then google search to find this post a get my confirmation.

I was telling my friend this last night and his response was: "Isn't Riot a billion dollar company? How can people hack the game to such an extent?"

The problem is rampant. And it sucks.

This thread helped so much i just had my first game like that and it was so confusing (went 33/0 with Yi it was actually kinda fun one hitting them even if they are bots XD) but also the bots looked like they wouldn't end the game they i.e they wouldn't attack the Nexus.

I wante to try the new TT jungle, and there : 4th game, alone with 5 bots. I report them everytime as bots, but damn. No one wants to play TT with me, because there are so many chances the other team will be a 3-bots comp...

I've also dealt with this issue!

Loki Viserion10/1/2014, 12:09:59 AM1 votes

I just played a game with the same issue. 1 person was a bot the other went AFK on me! I will not play another 3v3 until this issue is fixed.

I suppose the best we can hope for is that we report them for being bots and hopefully the account gets removed.

to day is the frist day in a long time i decided to play twisted treeline and out of 5 games i've had 3 bots on my team

honestly league should get a more specific report system too because of stuff like this

Maybe Riot could have a ReCaptcha, the 'type in the numbers you see in the picture' program that ensures you're not a robot in the champion select screen in Dominion and TT. It would dissipate the IP farmers and account salesmen from using the bots and ruining gameplay. I know Riot probably doesn't care about any of the maps other than Summoner's Rift, but this seems to me like a quick fix that'll save a lot of player time.

I recently started playing in the TT, and all the games I've played have had bots. It's no fun for the player.

Played a game yesterday with a bot that actually changed champions, from Fiora to Jax, and took about 10 seconds to lock in, they other requirements you mentioned were fulfilled though;

They didn't talk during champ select.
Ghost and Flash as summoner spells.
