The bot will not cause any desyncs at all. And it also hasn't got updated in the last months. The bot only detects these desyncs, puts the players into two "gamestate groups" and kicks the smaller group afterwards (mostly only one player).
Desyncs will happen, when one (or more) players lost sync to all others. This can have multiple sources of error. It could be a packet error during transmission. It could be an error on the players WC3, a cheating attempt or it can be a bug in the map.
If it's a bug in the map it's really hard to find and we have to know what exactly causes the desync. I've also observed some players having desyncs in many consecutive games.
I don't have any numbers for desyncs per version, sorry. But just to give some numbers of the past few weeks:
In 2079 ranked games 26 desyncs occured. So we have desyncs there in about 1,25% of the games.
In 7850 qualify games 262 desyncs occured. About 3,34% of the games.
Desynced Players in ranked games:
4 times out of 26 desyncs it has been "JamieAC" for example. Coincidence? Would be nice to know more about it.
Statistics for a longer period of time (last year, ranked):
19295 games, 217 desyncs - about 1,12%
And before that (nov 2010 till feb 2011, ranked):
7116 games, 54 desyncs - about 0,76%
This COULD be an indication for an increased rate of desyncs with newer maps.
