Ladygoo also suggest banning russian IPs probably sarcastically but who knows and then she proceeds to treat her own statement as made by everyone else and defend the poor oppressed russian/eastern slavic group and nobody fucking calls her on it. Are you all idiots? This is professional victimhood at its best. I want botters banned. If they happen to be russian and they get banned I want them banned for botting not for being russian. Botting is not a fucking cultural russian attribute to get offended over or is it? Jesus fuck.
On page 3, I suggest the exact same thing, I suspect LG reacted to your comment because she feels you hate all Russians, I'm not sure why, though I have seen it joked about, that is something that has happened or been said that I'm not aware of. I was still going to comment even though it was obvious her comment was a dig but Kaios got in first and so I decided not to.
When Kaios then did call her out on it, she insisted things had been said in IRC about Russian IP's being banned, again, I wasn't there so I don't know what was said and I'm certainly not going to defend that line of view - as you say botting is universal.
They then proceed to get into an argument which it's difficult to interject in as they are both at fault through getting heated. Alay is deflecting the focus away from her group and Kaios loses the higher ground by using a bot ... no matter how much or how little.
I don't think we are all idiots it was just an awkward situation which was difficult to intervene in.
Thankfully Kaios remedied the situation by deciding to do what was needed and walk away from it.
And yes, I'd like to see botters punished in some way as well, I do believe it acts as a deterrent and is preferable to just ignoring it when this is a competitive game with permadeath. I think outright bans for blatant abuse such as whole villages being run on bots and maybe warnings for lesser usage, leading to bans if they ignore it.
