I’m curious what the community here thinks about how to handle “bots” (people that run a script - usually warrior which ropes out after just spamming armor/hero power).
Obviously once you can tell it’s a bot you should report them for cheating, but do you leave the game or play it through?
what’s the best way to deal with these low life’s ruining the game?
I see a ton of this in diamond (wild). I wish blizzard could address this.
Reporting is like the button on crosswalks. It exists to make you feel better, but it does nothing. Not much you can do about bots, you either care about your rank, in which case you wait patiently and finish your games, or you don't and just concede because you value your time.
I'm comfortably sitting at the Silver 10 floor where I play my homebrews, and the place is flooded with bots as well. Reporting does nothing, as I come across the same bots today as the ones I reported over 8 months ago. Same names, same 'bot type'. I used to have the HDT logs to prove it but they started deleting those for some reason, ah well.
Someone mentioned Suspicious Alchemist but all that does is skip one turn, it doesn't break the bot or anything. Minions that go around most bots are Mindbreaker and Nozdormu, unless it's one of those bots that also plays cards, then that won't work either.

Concede and touch grass.

I've never seen a bot in ranked EU standard. Not for 8 years. Must be USA problem only

Play it out or concede, all you can do.
The funny thing that I noticed yesterday is that if you have taunt minions , The bot gets confused and rarely attacks so you finish the game earlier.
You’re not seriously saying you use bots in a thread about dealing with bots are you? Please tell me I misunderstood.
