Player bots?

Am I completely crazy or have more and more people been using programs in bot matches? It might sound weird but i've noticed it more and more. Each one seems to be different in some way shape or form. One will have a champion run right down the middle and auto attack minions till they're killed and rinse and repeat. Another will have a champ lay down the same abilities in the same spot regardless of whether there's an enemy bot there. And the one i ran into most recently was one that just followed me around all match and if hit by an enemy champion would run away a little bit then stop. I mean sure enough they might be players who are just griefing but, its really annoying to think that that riot would let people use 3rd party software to play there game. Not to mention how unfair it is that other people have to play for their ip and others just press a couple of buttons and can sit back and watch netflix and rake it in.

Even more annoying when they appear in pvp matches. Players on the other team will take full advantage of these bots to get fed, stomp you and then proceed to insult you.

They are literately destroying ARAM. I played a dozen ARAM games today and 8 out of 12 were all bot teams accept for me. This bot issue needs to be taken care of. Not only are they leveling and selling these accounts for profit but they ruin the freaking game for those who like playing it for themselves. RIOT needs to get the crap together and deal with it....

Evidently, Riot can't do anything about the bots. They won't even acknowledge that they're a problem. The only good news is that as your MMR increases bot encounters will become less common. It sure his hell for people who are new to PVP, though. I had four bots on my team more than once.

I just get tossed around like dodgeballs between wins when they are on my team and losses when they are on the enemy team. Bots make it so much harder to move around in Ranked Tiers.

The players get off on the positive credit they recieve when they bot often requesting for their "skill" to be recognised in the chat "Did you see that" "im diamond smurf" "you can call me god" "i'm the new Faker", but when they find out you know that the are botting they feel ashamed because they've been taking credit that had no rights to

If they had a bot label on them they would no longer take that credit for being "skilled" because we know they bot.
