Haha just had to think about an old vid (name is kRO Monster Race Bots on youtube, not link worthy as most won't know whats going on still funny to me). I think its bad for people that want to earn their portraits and bots should be fought unimportant of what they do (there are exceptions but those bots just gather informations, which can be nice and are officially allowed). If you let one bot live there will be others and then it will get out of hand xD.

If that's what they crave, I don't really care... It's not like they're hurting anybody, right?


Not only that, but nothing about portraits is 'earning' it. They're not difficult to achieve, no effort has to be put into them, you just have to play a lot, which if you were already going to play, then it's not exactly meaningful. People bot because not many people want to play 6000 games to get the dark voice portrait, when they don't have time to play that much.

TL;DR portraits are pointless, and you should just be able to get them if you want them.



Ugh..
Why does a 3 line long post need a TL;DR

TL;DR This is very pointless

Yeah it's extremely common, people want that false sense of achievement without actually playing the game. I would know, I've botted WoW and other various MMOs for several years, I'd even bot SC2 if the losses didn't go on my record.

By the way there's also 6 pool bots :S

I think there must be some people using it for that purpose, rather than just portrait farming.
There's something fun about playing without pressure, knowing you're going to win. It also lets you do some funny stuff that you could never do in a game at your own level.

Yeah, but what happens is that when you get to bronze and get your MMR down you'll face diamond/masters who did the same

Yea these have been around for a long time, people use them for portrait farming. Personally I dont care too much, maybe blizzard should just get rid of portraits.

Im sure they are not playing very many players and mostly bots vs bots but if they are playing players I feel bad for it wasting their time.

I have yet to meet any people that have botted in SC2, though I've seen a lot during my years playing WC3. If that's how your friend wants to play the game, then I would say so be it. People have different aspirations and how they want to achieve is left up to them. Personally, I too had an affinity towards gaining portraits. Though I did so through playing countless of games in order to achieve this goal. I can say that I had a lot more fun through my experience and learned how to play the game better. As a result, I started getting promoted to higher leagues, and my goal changed from obtaining portraits to playing SC2 ladder more seriously. For your friend he took a different, and perhaps dishonorable, path and wanted to achieve it the easy way out. Although I sincerely believe he is missing some great experiences he could have had if he had just done it himself. Though this is just my opinion.

Ohhh, so that's how these people can accrue 2k games played in one season alone. I used to think they did rock paper scissors all the time lol

Yes and no, Sase and Kas had like 2000 games played on GM ladder when the seasons used to be longer.


Perhaps I should make it clearer:

2k games played in one month tops.

This is pathetic, but any sensible person would not give it a fuck.

Who cares if a buncha idiots buy the game only not to play it at all...

Yes it's wrong, but it doesn't really affect the game play at all. The players at such a low level of bronze are mostly people auto losing anyways. This bot doesn't give them advantages in a true player vs player scenario in any higher league so I don't see it as a huge issue. Honestly, if portraits are that important to you that you would risk your account to get them..well, go outside and take a breathe of fresh air.

Why on earth would you sacrifice a GM account to stream bronze bashing?
GM has a limited number of slots, it's also a pain to get back in.
I'm calling shenanigans.

I believe there are even bots that can worker rush for you on 2 player maps. Not sure about that tho.
