Why are there so many XP Bots in PVP? Seems like on average there's at least 3 per game

I made this account just for the sake of playing nothing but Yordles and Twitch but ffs just look at my match history, every fucking game I've played has had XP-farmers in it.

These fucking things just walk into 2 people auto-attacking and never using their abilities or their Summs, fuck sometimes the fucking things don't even buy items. In fact just look at my two most recent games back to back, both full of bots:

Game 1: https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2894087869/2059945201969376?tab=overview

There were only a total of 4 players in that game, me the Rakan the Garen and the Riven, and the only reason I ended up winning that game was because the dumbass AI on the enemy side kept walking right into the max Rank shrooms I kept tossing into the middle of their them whenever they formed a group.

Game 2: https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2894118249/2059945201969376?tab=overview

And in this game I just abused this Lux bot that kept tower diving me with no minions and got fed that way and just spiraled out of control afterwards, the rest of their team couldn't do fucking anything because of how early I managed to get my item 3095.

It's fucking stupid.

Sorry friend. The low level matches are rife with bots because A) the game is F2P so accounts can be made en masse, B) because they do have to play a little before they can be caught, and C) because unfortunately people actually buy the accounts. They do get caught very easily, but botted accounts are banned at intervals in waves (idk maybe every week?) to prevent the botters from figuring out what actions exactly flags the account so they can't improve their methods and not get caught; this is pretty effective but sadly it means they can ruin a lot of games in a short time before the ban.

I hope the bot presence doesn't deter you from the game, as you level up more you'll see less and less bots until you almost never see one again.

Edit: Also there's this recent post about botting/cheating from the Anti-Cheat team; https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2018/10/dev-removing-cheaters-from-lol/
