    I recently played this match #669880908.
    CM bought wards continuously, but it was like she was on a loop. She would buy wards and ward the dire jungle, then buy wards, ward Radiant jungle....over and over and over. She never did anything else. Both teams were talking about her and she never said a word in match.
    Has anyone had any problems with this before? I've had one other game like this in the last week, but the bot was set up differently.

      It never occured to you that this might just be a game-throwing player?

        Had a couple in AD games. Probably has to do with the MMR Acc farming, not too sure myself, dont care though and dont think volvo can do much about it

          @Socram - Yes it occurred to all 9 players in the match that it could be a thrower, but all it takes is watching the 1st 10 min of the match to know that this is a programmed loop.

          @Scrubby - We all decided it had to do with acc farming too, but we all assumed it was for the compendium rewards (forget their name, pink globule, ecto-like things).

          Let's be honest here, I am in a very low teir MMR (~2880). I'm not expected everyone to be all-stars here. I just want fair matches. I know I suck, my teammates suck, and my opponents suck.

            Match #653204224 is the other match I was talking about. This match the CM didn't feed at all, but just always sat behind towers. At the end of the 38 min match, she was still level 4. I don't believe a single skill was used by either one of these bots in either match.

              The cm is certainly a live player. Look at the way the mouse moves the camera and how she checks the action around the map from player perspective.
              A bot can't be programmed to do that. It'd use macros to move the camera.

                I guess that goes to show what I (and the rest of the players in that match) know about botting. I thought you could just record yourself doing A-Z maneuvers and have it play them out, making the mouse move and everything.

                @Socram - I am a grown man and as such can admit when I am wrong. My apologies sir. It would appear that you were right and I was wrong.

                I still don't like it. Oh well. On to the next match.
