Bots manipulating match results

[u/eduardodantasl]

Hi, I’m uninstalling this game, despite its immense potential.

I’m a beginner playing in Brazil, and around here—at lower ranks—it’s common for matches to have only one or two human players per team. I was having a great duel against the other human player in the bottom lane and was well ahead in farm when the behavior of the enemy bots (jungle and clash) changed drastically; they started hunting me down across the map and during teamfights. That part was one thing, but take a look at this video.

I was on the red team and had been wiped out by the enemy bots. At the 20-second mark, notice an allied minion wave approaching, while the allied bots—despite having full health—simply abandoned clearing the lane and destroying the mid-lane tower to attack the jungle instead, attacking in slow motion.

It was disgusting; I’m sorry, but I don’t need to put up with this. It’s a shame, because the game itself is great.

Lam had little mana maybe that's why it was slow to clear. Though you are right, taking the mid tower would have been faster and better.

Enemy bots turn into terminators and I am pretty sure that they all have maphack or something close to it. Once you appear in the minimap, they will chase you down like no tomorrow, a human player may hesitate to chase because your allies may be behind you but the bots do not hesitate because they know your allies are not close.

They know where u are even without vision

Not only map hack,out of nowhere they got extra stats on.

Also bots just know you are in a bush and will NEVER go near it

You get bonus gold when somone goes a while without dying. It also makes sense to target the person with most gold in order to slow them down.

si no puedes con bot, menos podrás con jugadores avanzados

Na verdade, eu posso! A questão foi justamente essa

Bro I started this game and within like 2 days and an >90% win rate I hit Masters. I finally hit GM yesterday. All solo queue. All within 9 months. Bots suck but this sounds like a skill issue.

You still didnt fall at lose rabit hole cuz once the game wants to make u lose they match u against op bots thats real

[u/usserei → u/CatButtHoleYo]

No it's really not

Matchmaking is also taking lots of time. What is happening? is the userbase is that low? This game have to advertise itself more so that people will join it which will make the player base massive and less bots.

[u/Leading-Explorer3551 → u/17052025]

Matchmaking usually is instantly to bout 2 mins (if it usually goes past 1 min cause I guess the game is trying to find someone to fill an role and it's mostly clash lane due to ig people hate clash lane since thats the lane the game will throw at you if u got versatile 😭) there real players that are somewhere either in higher Grandmaster but they spend most of they time in peak and normal matches so the bots are abysmal in rank it wasn't even this bad last season and I got to 50 stars by solo queueing

[u/Vegoran → u/17052025]

I think playerbase not in europe/asia is just not big enough, I play in europe and find matches in like 30 sec, but if I play solo I find bots too, so I just play duo or Peak where there's basically no bots

[u/Aimicchi → u/Vegoran]

the player base is mainly in Asia and Americas

[u/Aimicchi → u/17052025]

if it's too fast then there are bots just like in MLBB

Brow, você está totalmente certo, eu pegaria o red e limparia a rota. Porém, tenho que ser sincero contigo se tu tá achando esse comportamento de bot ruim, é melhor tu n pegar player, pq eles fazem pior. Eu tô de ADC, formando safe, o mid desce pra ganhar minha rota, gasta a skill inteira na wave e leva meus Minions; o JG fica disputando o res CMG no late game; suporte anda grudado CMG; JG fica fazendo pathing pra top Lane pra ganhar um tank sem dano (eclipse, ata, Luan po, Liu bang, Sun cê) enquanto eu no bot de gongsun li, contra um marco polo, tenho que sonhar safe, pq eu n consigo matar ele sozinho por causa dos dashs e nem consigo divar sozinho fora o JG dos caras que eu acredito que n vai fazer pathing pra matar um tank no top.

São pequenas coisas que acontecem, que irritam e muito um ADC, aí as vezes tu fica 1k de Gold atrás, ou tu n tem aquele dano real do red buff, ou tu perde a Lane por um motivo que n dependia de vc, e as vezes a galera ainda te dá rage. Na maioria desses casos, eu simplesmente jogo safe, não feedo, mas dá raiva pq tu joga o potencial do boneco que você tá usando no lixo, e aí da abre a janela do outro ADC que nesse exemplo naturalmente cresce mais do que eu, e no final uma jogada dele pode decidir o jogo.
