New player, aram only atm, experiencing close to 100% matches with bots

I'm a new player and I have only touched ARAM so far. I find it a good way to try out different champs as well as play against all types of champs before getting into the real deal. But I seem to have at least 1 bot in almost all my games. Be it on my side or the opponents'. Eg. I just finished a match where we had 3 and the enemies had 2. It's easy to spot the bots on the loading screen. Ghost Walker + Heal, no runes, that blue-ish wolf icon.

I'm level 27, I dunno if that's the reason, but I'm getting paired with everything from level 10 to 150+ so I doubt that is a factor.

Am I just crazy unlucky or is this standard? If so I don't really see myself continue playing for much longer.

There are (at least) two 'ranks' in ARAM, the "account leveling bot" rank, and the "human" rank.

Sometime after you hit player level 30, and/or have played enough games (establish data that you play like a human) you'll be bumped up to the 'human' rank.

Until then, you should be able to S rank a heck of a lot easier.

After you hit level 30 it should die down, but your best bet to avoid bots is to play Summoners Rift.
