@Riot The botting is only getting worse and it doesn't seem like help is coming....

So I have been a Twisted Treeline fan for ages. About 2 months ago I started noticing the occasional person who would walk to the center of the map, and just auto, and would build multiple same items. At first i didn't mind because it was one person and maybe someone was letting their little brother play so I laughed it off.

About a month ago I was in 5 straight games of me and 2 bots vs another real player and 2 bots, but at least we could commiserate. Recently unless its ranked 3v3 it has been me and 5 bots. This is freaking ridiculous. Come on Riot, its not like you haven't known about it. People have been telling you for months now and you aren't doing anything...

If you can't come up with a permanent solution, just add a temporary one like a little popup that appears at the very beginning of champion select that asks for someone to place a 4 digit number or something. ANYTHING WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE FAT LOT OF NOTHING... I usually don't get mad, or blame riot. When servers crash I usually am upset but understand these things happen, but to blatantly ignore people ruining the game, when things like this are easily remedied, is unacceptable...

Now that worlds are over, can you please just fix this? Just a temp fix would be nice until you can come up with something more fluid and permanent. Instead of ignoring the bleeding stump that is Twisted Treeline/Aram/Dominion (3/4 of your map modes) put a bandage on it til you can get it professional medical care... It is like you dont care that 3/4ths of your game modes are complete crap right now thanks to exploitation.

Riot is going to try to fix it for sure, I'm in contact with a support employee and I am also compiling a list of these accounts to give to her.

I'm looking for the botted accounts as well as the accounts used for selling them, so if you run into them again (which is a definite probability at this point honestly) please document the names and pass them on to me.

I figured it is best to keep everything organized so I've been keeping track of the vocal people on the boards to help give us all a real sense of belief.

Add me and every day send me your list of names as well as report each bot so we can help ensure that Riot cuts the head off of this item 3074

All who see this are urged to do the same, please everyone to let me know. When I submit my current list, this week (with the communities additional support) I will post a thread letting all of you know that the data has been submitted.

And I may post the Rioters responses, depending on if they feel it's a good idea.

I do also get the feeling that riot wants to keep this a issue on mute, because tracking this software down may be pretty easy, considering the latest outburst of accounts formed to sell the boosted ones.

Nocturne Help is not coming? I think Riot will make a system to report potential bots. Hopefully that will help.

If they more aggressively cracked down on account ownership/transfer/sales then we'd have a lot less boosted and bots.

It needs to be so strict that the second you log on at a new location, your account should require a pin entry from your email just like Steam, and it needs to be as swift to ban as most online radio or video services lock user accounts within days of account sharing.

Rather than log a player out when another logs in, it should instantly lock and process the account for investigation.

Maybe people should be required to activate computers on an account similar to Google Play or iTunes or something.

Just a few names of botter accounts. I figure usually the policy is not to report other players accounts publicly, but since these were bot controlled champs I figure that is no longer the case!

So yeah... Here are two names of accounts that should be permabanned for botting :D thanks! If you want evidence just look at their 3v3 match history :)
