Friendly Bots Trolling Midlane

Hey everyone this isn't so much a discussion as it is a question. lately when I got to practice in a bot game I have been experiencing this phenomenon where a champion who has heal and Ghost just trolls mid lane. at first I thought it was just a troll. but after seeing it multiple times I noticed that the mechanics are exactly the same every game. About halfway through the game it will just randomly pop up in chat with a WTF then a few minutes later a Gj. Quite literally all this bot does is run down midlane and die whether its feeding or by execution. I was wondering if this is a normal occurrence or if this is a type of hacking and whether I should be worried about it. At this point I see it just about every other Bot game I play.

Well, there are a lot of new players that practice bot games and don't understand the mechanics of the game yet, but considering you're level 25, this probably isn't the case ^^

There are definitely quite a few bots around, and ever since Dominion got removed, they've migrated to other game modes like Co-op vs AI. They're a way to quickly grind to level 30 without the effort. Common behavior include instalocking, running the same build/summ path, and playing unnaturally passive. They don't chat very often, which is why I brought up the possibility of a new player. Hope this helps!
