Jungle Bots

Not sure where something like this belongs, so I posted it here. But Riot, you need to take notice of this. The bot accounts are up to a whole new trick. Bot programs are jungling now. They go to a random camp, clear it (or die), then recall and go to a new camp. They are very clearly bots. Their activity is too regular to be actual people. But now that the bots are hiding in the jungle all game instead of feeding in mid, they die less (or sometimes not at all), and I think will be much harder to detect as bots using only their build/KDA as reference. I always get my first win of the day in bot games, and I've run into 9 of these accounts this week. I always report them and explain what they're doing, but I don't know if the automated system can even recognize this sort of thing.

I noticed this too. They are n coop games in SR. Had 3 in the past two games, and looks like 2 more in the one i'm loading now.

They get executed pretty often (though with a fairly low death total), so that may be a method to detect them.

They also take a long time to leave the summoning platform, so this might help in detection too.

I had a game a couple games ago with 3 jg botters. so it was basically 2v5 the whole game. The other guy refused to believe they were bots and instead kept flaming me all game for 'following' him, as in staying together because our team is bots. We still won but barely because of the 3 bots an the other guy refusing to work as a team.

I too can confirm this. If this helps anything, the bots all seem to always pick the summoner spells Heal and either Smite or Exhaust (for some reason that I can't understand, why Exhaust on a jungle bot? I just don't get it). Their summoner icon is ALWAYS a wolf, this Icon: https://i.imgur.com/stfnJJi.jpg

Something needs to be done about this. I used to fire up LoL all of the time to have a nice relaxing game with an easy win after work, but now I'm strongly considering just firing up my console and doing a single player game, so that I don't have to deal with this.
