A wave of bots has swamped this server in LoL. Players say it’s hard to play on low ranks

Bots in League of Legends are trolling ranked players. Players are complaining that it’s impossible to play.


It turns out that low elo players in League, in addition to smurfs, are worried about another thing. According to numerous reports on Reddit, accounts that are used by bots are appearing in matches.

At this point, players have only noticed this problem on one server. It is the North American community that has to struggle with this. However, this does not mean that Europeans are safe.

Bots on NA server

There was an interesting post on Reddit from a frustrated ranked player. There he showed an op.gg of 10 people he had dealt with over the course of several games. It turns out that all of these accounts are fresh, and all of them win less than 30% of their matches. Some also take strange summoners, like Exhaust and Heal on Morgana or Soraka.

Some have a theory that these are regular players just learning how to play LoL. Others, on the other hand, claim that they are ordinary bots whose job is to get an account into low divisions with very low MMRs so that smurfs can have fun playing low elo without ending up in SmurfQ.

Usually, however, these are new accounts that do not appear to be “botted,” meaning someone must have played them manually. Various characters from Senna to Zilean were taken on them in the battle of the bots, and the builds themselves also varied. For this reason, it is difficult to say unequivocally that they are 100% bots.
