People botting on 3v3 map twisted treeline?

Rithensoul·9/17/2014, 4:41:38 PM·22 votes·8,766 views

so ive played a few games of twisted treeline today and i notice some names that kept appearing in my games. either someone is pulling a prank or these are bots. very bad ones.... they dont talk. at all. ever. they dont check bushes. they dont chase. they dont ping. if you are almost dead and walk into a bush right by them they wont even go after you. they all go bottom lane, they never leave it they only push bottom lane. and the movements they make are robotic and predictable. like they are scripted. and they are almost always the same champions.

there was one person on my team and were pretty sure skarner was a bot too. they all act the same and at the end of the games they all suicide (including our skarner) and just start rushing towers with no minions. literally all 4 of them. anyone else out there experience any of this?

EDIT: i had names of the summoners up but i guess they are real profiles that also bot probably when they are away so RIOT wont want the names up....

EDIT EDIT: new post directly begging RIOT for help as suggested. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/summoners-rift/Au4niAjU-riot-help-please

EDIT EDIT EDIT: RIOT keeps deleting my post so i just left it be.

I witnessed many matches with bots today. 3 ARAM matches had bots, and 2 Dominion matches had bots. The bots in ARAM automatically always chose {{summoner:10}} and summoner 3 . In ARAM, the bots will just auto attack, rarely use abilities, and die. In Dominion, the bots would always have summoner 6 and summoner 7 . They would go to capture random points, capture it, and AFK there until there is an enemy champion nearby. The bots would always choose the same champion each time. Because I played with and against a player who chose the same champion. A new Botting Crisis... Someone save us.

...hmm idk about 3v3's but i played a ranked 5v5 game a week or so ago and what you described sort of describes an Akali i played with. They were first pick and banned completely random champs, when i checked it was 3 champions in a vertical line. Then they bought a long sword first, then a cloth armor, then a kindle gem for some reason which i thought was weird because they were fighting Xerath. They fed pretty hard but the weird part was he never used his ultimate on Xerath or any other champion, he just farmed all game and not very good either. I thought his movements were weird, like you said he never left mid lane and never chased. I really hope he was just an idiot because if bots start becoming a problem im going to quit Ranked lol

Yea, I had a kayle a couple days ago, she went bot Lane and just pushed. Never attacked the opponent, would attack the tower with no minions, didn't communicate, etc... Fed the opposing bot so badly that it took me 25min to carry the win when I can carry 1v3 in about 18min and 2v3 in 12min without someone feeding...

This is exactly what happens to me every match in Twisted Treeline as I'm trying to grind out this account. It's the worst when you've got 2 bots that all they do is walk to the enemy spawn... no winning that on easy AI or medium. It's a shame that Riot can't pick up on which accounts are doing this, obviously a player that can hard carry many games is not going to go negative KDA for 10+ games straight against bots.

There killing 3's and any of map mode that isn't 5's with shit like this and now its even showing up in 5's! and Ranked 5's?! Wtf Riot if your gonna not give two shits about your pvp fans even then this game will soon just get left to the bots and uber hardcore fans it will be just like any other game full of bots at that point!

If so I'm just waiting for Hero's of the storm then by blizzard cause this is just getting outrageous I've been here since s2 and i don't mind leaving if this game starts getting unplayable

looks botty. and they seem to play together in their past games. and they buy dumb/repetitive items.

i thought i was the only one lol this has been happening to me the past 2 weeks every game on 3s its kinda lame i pretty much main 3's and gave up after me and 2 of my friends played a couple games in a row against bots. Maybe they are phasing out 3v3

If you run into the same thing please upvote my post so it stays current and gets attention!

It's bad in Co-Op vs AI in 5-on-5. They are worse than the bots you play against. I had a match earlier in that with three bots, Janna , Amumu , and Rammus , all three going mid while I and Xerath were wondering what the hell they were doing. Janna wasn't a good supporter and didn't ever seem to use her ult from what I saw. The other two were just as bad. i ended up reporting all three for being unskilled players, because that's literally what the bots are. And I was pissed at losing. Because this was on beginner. After that I did a match as Veigar to practice my mid and I swear I would've done better if there wasn't a Karthus bot in the way...

I have only experienced this a few times but it is annoying to all hell when it happens. There has to be something that Riot can do to eliminate bots from being used. New Patch anyone?

Stuff like this- http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/rts/league-of-legends/league-of-legends-exploits/459102-bot-univexnet-referral-bot.html is stuff riot should make illegal from the user rights agreement. It should help with the problem and can possibly give riot money from the "memberships" on some of the botting "services"

It's not that Riot isn't 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 punished.

I find this really frustrating especially if I want to practice TT for ranked (if I ever get to play rank). I first noted the bots of dominion and I heard they removed them already (or reduced them) but I guess these bots are making a comeback.

It happened to me and i was completly freaked out because both my teamates and their team were bots no one talked and i just pushed top and won after the game i went to see their profiles and all of them had nothing in them exept for one who had masteries they were all lvl 30 i was complelty freaked out because i asked what was going on and they just didnt talk one thing they also had in comon was that they all had either summoner 3 summoner 6 or summoner 7

Been in two games today, Twisted treeline. It's horseshit.

Actually i was playing with a friend and we had the same issue.We played 2 games on Twisted Treeline.In champion select our teammate instantly instalokced with a random champion.When we started the game both our teammate and our opponents had the same summoner spells that were summoner 7 and summoner 6 .We thought it is weird but got even weirder.We started the game and our teammate (i am talking for the 1st game) left the base just few seconds before our minions.Through the whole game both our teammate and our enemies were acting in the same way:They probably didn't care what was happening around them.THEY WERE FOLLOWING ONLY ONE PATH.So after the game we checked their profiles and it didn't show match history.So if that is not weird,than tell me what is!RIOT HELP,PLEASE!

Today I played a 3v3 game in twisted treeline. and we were playing with Fiora and Rengar bot. they seem to just walk the exact same route and autoattack and they never used any abilities or left bot lane. Fiora bot just walked straight into the enemy base next to the nexus and started to just farm minions. Rengar just walked to the middle of lane and stands there, autoattacking. Fiora bought a item 1036 and 5 item 1028 . Rengar bought item 1054 and 5 item 1027 .it was so stupid and I ended up carrying and reporting them. I hope riot does try to ban botting and do something about it, its so dumb and annoying

i have the same problem but only with 5 bots. they instalock all at the same time. walk through the jungle and attack the T2 turret which they cant do. i bought a sunfire cape and got a triple with it and i didnt attack any of them. and they almost buy nothing.
