This is the full story of how Rocket League bots invaded the ranked system and changed the game forever. A Rocket League documentary of how Rocket League bots came to reach the skill level they are now and how they eventually started being used in ranked.
Thank you to everyone involved that made this video possible!

Rocket League was once considered a hacker free game. However, after 7 years, that reputation changed completely. Someone figured out a way to hack their way up to Grand Champion without even playing the game. How is this possible? Thanks to a machine learning bot called Nexto, made by Rolv and the RLBot community, Grand Champion bots are now a thing. However, it was only a matter of time after they released that Nexto would be used for bad.

In my opinion they should keep making even better Rocket League bots, but not publicaly give it to random humans to use. The better Rocket League bots could be used in rlsc to compete against the best RL players in the world, so we can see can they beat the best RL players in the world and become the new world champions in the world in RL.

@@jout738 That's not how it would work generally; in all cases we've seen where bots start to surpass human capability, they don't go head to head. I think there would be a parallel competition for bots exclusively considering once the bots have reached a certain level, humans will never beat them again.

The thing is despite most people coming together to avoid something like this again there is definitely gonna be someone who is developing and releasing a much higher level bot with harder to detect movements. It probably already exists and is just not publicly spread yet

@teo2157 Год назад

Ai randomisation is not hard to include. Or even hard code some noise or bad decisions

@paulie-g Год назад

@@teo2157 Oh, but it is. Neural networks are black boxes, so you can't tweak them directly. You'd have to find a way to do work at the output and that's tricky because you haven't done the feature extraction yourself. In any case, statistical analysis (if RL develops one) of bot gameplay against human gameplay is going to detect it easily and, while it isn't practical to run it on all players/matches all of the time, it would be trivial to do so upon report. The only way around that is to train the model on a corpus of human gameplay and rewarding it not for winning, but for closely matching human play. This is a completely different setup and would require an absolutely humongous corpus of real matches, which doesn't and likely won't ever (without RL's cooperation) exist.

@teo2157 Год назад

@@paulie-g Perfectly valid points, but i still think we have methods to introduce randomness. AI researchers have been experimenting with various techniques to introduce randomness or errors into AI models to make them more robust and adaptable to different situations. For instance, some researchers have used techniques like dropout, which randomly drops out neurons during training. I'm sure this could be one of many techniques to introduce quirks and randomness Also, The I developers could also just use adversarial training or your suggestion of just imitation learning, which while suboptimal, I really doubt that it would be too difficult to find enough material to through off any statistical analysis anti-cheat. And also, if worst comes to worst, just simply hard code imperfections, and randomly adjust the bot's reaction time or accuracy to simulate human-like errors. (At the cost of performance)

@paulie-g Год назад

@@teo2157 It's not about randomness or reaction time or errors. Models that are not specifically trained to imitate human performance are going to have statistically very significant differences with human play. It's telling that not only did players identify bots, but were able to clearly state discernible and easy to measure features of their play. It's one thing to train models on 100k+ hours of play when it is cheaply produced by another copy of the model in real time and never stored. How are you going to get that much from humans and who pays for the storage? It's entirely off-limits to hobbyists for cost reasons, and anyone RL or another server doesn't cooperate with for access reasons.

@teo2157 Год назад

@@paulie-g but aren’t we talking about simply making it harder for anti cheat to detect statistically impossible gameplay? like, take any other game with anti cheat, the players usually know if a player is hacking, of course, to solve this would be just as you said, training the model on actual human gameplay. but the point is to foil the anti cheat.

I followed this chain of evens from the beginning and it is easily one of the most insane things in gaming history. We were shown that just machine learning can be better at games than most humans within 2 months, while people using it in competitive is scummy for sure, this showing of machine learning and AI is an amazing sign for the future and I hope they are allowed to release more bots in the future.

Great video! There had been a player using the bot in ranked in June 2022 and streaming it. He was shut down very quickly because both those who watched a lot of Bot Training at that time and those who developed the bots quickly informed Psyonix about it. I wouldn't be surprised the reason Psyonix was able to accurately detect and shut down all bot accounts within just a few weeks was because they had about 6 months of a head start and there was not any fuss about it.

This RL bot situation shows how people can take one thing which is beneficial and completely flip it upside down and not have anything and ruin the fun for others. We cldve had bots at SSL level which wldve helped us play better, practice with them and see how far can a bot go, but just cuz of few people, we might never see a bot above 2000mmr ever again.... truly sucks.

@silentblackhole 10 месяцев назад

Great video man. I'm mainly been a Counter Strike player over the years. We have had to deal with hacking pretty much the entire time. The game allows just simple hacks to be so powerful, like just think of how powerful seeing through walls would be in an FPS. I feel jealous that your game has had such a clean non hacking experience. All I can say is that the skill level has been raised for how hard is is to create a bot. Now that these bot creators have removed their code and their creation is banned. This won't stop other people with the skill level to creat their own though. My advice to RL would be to prepare for the return of bots, and pay attention to small accounts that may use this. Not everyone that creates hacks will release them like happened this time. You got lucky. Now prepare for more stealthy hacks. Good luck.
