Bots. Bots as far as the eye can see.

I've got myself a second account, only level eleven and all that jazz, but we can discuss the rampancy of bots in ARAMS, and sometimes even Summoner's rift amongst low-level accounts? I'll play six games in a row with the exact same account, report it six times, and then it is still present in the seventh? Why is it that I can report someone for a racial slur, and receive a message a game later that action has been taken, but bots take days on end to get banned?

It isn't like they're hard to spot either. They'll always have double digit deaths by the ten-minute mark because they just run in, sit at the tower until minions spawn, then just sit next to the creep wave spamming spells until a champion shows up. Then the full AP Soraka just tunnel visions on the 14/2 Jhin and gets popped like a balloon under a steam roller. I do my part to report the bots, but is there not a more aggressive manner in which to treat these individuals? Can't we ban consistent offenders IP or MAC address? Because I'm certain, thirty people a day don't just randomly start going ' Hey, I think I'm gonna bot an account today!'

While I would be all for a pass to pick out bots I'm more inclined to question why you are picking on new players. In that low a level for an account I sure as hell didn't know what I was doing or even what to buy items wise. I didn't even know towers did damage before level 3 since the game calls it a kill if you take even a single point of damage from an enemy.

On behalf of new players, please play on your original account and stop being mean to people trying to show interest in a game they know drasticly less than you about.

I think Riot lets them get to level 30 before banning them. I leveled this account recently, and I had at least 2 bots in every single game (and they were always sub-30). Since being 30 on this account, I have not seen a single bot.

bots get banned in waves not reports that is why you still play with them
