Why are there still bots in TTL?

TTL is probably my favorite game-mode, I loved playing on it before and after it got rebooted, and in all honesty I prefer 3v3 to 5v5. But now I can't really enjoy the game-mode anymore because each time I go to play 3's by myself all I ever get stuck with is bots. I know it's a way for the refer-a-friend system to work or whatever brought it on league. But this is a serious downer, it's no where near as fun, or as fair, as having full team of actual people. The whole bot thing really needs to go, it's just to frustrating to watch as you lose because you don't actually have teammates.

Just put an additional pass code verification where you have to read and enter a code to play a match. You have it on your website why not use that state of the art technology to weed out all the bots in matches? It will also ease the load on your servers!

Yeah! i would happily enter a captcha to play a match, if it meant I actually play with humans! The hardest part is seeing them in the champ select and knowing they are bots. Then you can either play the frustrating match with the bot that feeds the whole game, or dodge the game and get hit with a leaver buster penalty. (>_<) yikes... Such a bad experience.

I know rito is probably working on something to help the problem, but dang. I wish they'd at least acknowledge the issue and say, "hey! we're tackling it." Would at least ease ours minds that our favorite 3v3 mode isn't a lost cause.

Yeah, Just want to second this post to hopefully bring more awareness to the scripting bot problem. Things have been fairly calm on 3v3 for a good while, but there is a new crop of bots that are running amuck on TT over the past few weeks! They actually build real items now, as opposed to the old "Ghost and Heal" bots. These new bots usually take smite or cleanse.. even though they wouldn't need them... (ie, ashe and varus...both free champs for the week).

Man i love twisted treeline, but it makes it so hard to queue up, just to hope im not gonna waste my next 20 minutes playing with 5 stupid autoplaying bots. Riot, i know its not you guys putting them in the game, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help us find some sort of solution to stopping the botting problem. its worse now than it has ever been.

UPVOTE TO SAVE TWISTED TREELINE!! :D hip hip... HORRAYYYY

I've really not seen this problem other then once recently, so I thought people were crazy... but they are out there :( though still only happened to me once and thankfully it was only ONE person on the team that wasn't real.

They are trying to improve things to fight off bots/spam stuff though, so hopefully whatever it is gets somewhere sometime soon.

This is really disappointing to me.. whats even worse is that when its obvious that you have a bot on your team (supports w/smite) you will get penalized for dodging the game. so either play the game and waist your time to lose or leave and get penalized because you don't want to play with bots... totally unfair to everybody who is just trying to enjoy the game..

How is this even a thing? You can play game after game and it's all just bots. it's not like they're hidden or anything. Humans are the ones that are impossible to find.

Please rescue Treeline from Skynet.
