[Client] Timeout, [Gameplay] Scripting/botting, [backend] Pairing system, [Client] Ping

After every game I have to end the client and restart it to join another game. I've restarted the client after every game for the past two weeks and now it's released still with the same bug. The client window itself turns solid black without any graphical user interface.

Also, I just played a game with 8 bots. I was the only real person on my team, and there was only one real person on the enemies team. I spent the first half dozen games reporting bots, I'm just over it. Bots are everywhere in ARAM, and scripting is in all match types. I'm not exactly seeing a aggressive approach at solving this.

There's still some form of matchmaking issues for paring skill levels in ranked matches, I often play on very mixed teams of way under ranked, or way over ranked. I can play a ranked on my other account with silvers that play like they aren't even level 30, and bronze level matches that have platinum style players from time to time. It appears the only way to have an enjoyable match is 100% premade to avoid botting or mismatched players. I also understand smurfs exist, so the rank can't always accurately represent a play style or League-intellect however, I think the system needs a bit of rework. Or maybe just a more harsh sentence for someone who feeds or is astronomically subpar for ranked.

I'm getting a little frustrated, and it appears the only way to have an enjoyable match is 100% premade. It feels like the only things truly being addressed is perhaps a bit of mechanics, or new lore/champs/store shit. It's about finances and new content instead of reliability and stability.

I'll close LoL for awhile, and I know this won't fix anything but I feel the need to vent about it. It sort of reminds me of the WoW transition period of BC to WotLK, although it's probably best represented with the changes that occurred between WotLK and Cata. I'll leave that up to interpretation.

I cannot tell you the last time I ran into a bot in any game type. I know they exist and are especially problematic for new players as you level up, but I would assert that if you're level 30 and playing against/with bots it implies your MMR is staggeringly low and you should be able to win those games easily and climb out of that Elo. Additionally, I haven't encountered a scripter/hacker/exploiter in a few months either... now and again it happens but they are banned in waves, Riot has an anti-cheat and the platforms are all detected at present, but bans are not done instantaneously, they are done in delayed waves, so it won't be long.
