Summoner's Rift Co-Op vs AI is now full of Twisted Treeline's feeding ally bots

Beginner Bots is no longer beginner difficulty, and Intermediate is impossible. Two of my allies ON AVERAGE in each and every Co-Op vs AI game I've played since TT's removal have been bots. I've had near losses more times than I want to admit because those AI allies fed so hard. Not only that, but their script from TT followed them. I've had to constantly switch lanes again and again so as to not lose out on XP because the AIs keep switching lanes. It's bad enough that I have to take Teleport to not lose out on a huge amount of CS. Yes, it's the end of the season right now. Yes, games against AIs are less important than games against actual players. Yes, Twisted Treeline was just removed. But that's no fucking excuse, RIOT. You, the creators of this game, are the ones responsible for everything that goes on in this game.

Co-Op vs AI is meant as a tool to 1) help new players learn how to play the game, and 2) help everyone playing it get used to new champions, builds, and their mechanics/interactions in a setting more realistic in gameplay than the Practice Tool. A 3rd use for it is to help people unwind from their stress, either from every day activities like work or from PvP matches in the game. Right now, it's failing all of those. New players can't learn how to play the game when it's too difficult, people can't get used to playing new champions and builds effectively when they're forced to play a certain way just to not lose, and people can't use it to unwind from stress when it itself is making them more stressed. I've been playing this game since Season 5. I've seen many disappointing things, seen many awesome things altered or removed, but I've seen them always come out for the better.

Please, RIOT. Fix this mess. Don't let it become Twisted Treeline 2.0. Don't be lazy with this, like you were with the game mode that you had to remove.

EDIT: Well what do you FUCKING know, it's spread to PvP as well. I've been playing the Co-Op vs AI mode all this time, but I finally got fed up with it and went to play a Normal Blind PvP game...our fucking Kled was a bot. We were playing 4v5 the entire game. I know none of you care, but I'm gonna use this as an excuse to stop playing LoL for a while. RIOT's so fucking lazy that they can't even bother to fix their main game mode...I haven't looked at Ranked (nor will I), but I wouldn't be surprised if the AI's also taken that over.

THIS, I am trying to help a friend of mine grind levels and learn the game--but we literally keep getting 3 bots on our team that run head first into the enemy and feed, making it a completely worthless environment to teach in. What's next Riot, you going to remove Co-Op vs AI and then let them all flood into normal; PVP matches? This is a problem that NEEDS to be fixed.

I just had a game where I was the only human player. I was playing 1v5 with Intermediate Bots as Cait, and the bots (afk at the start) reconnected in certain intervals into the game. They completely ruined the game and wasted my time because I couldn't surrender. It was really awful.
