Cheated out of playtime by bots, every... single... freaking... day

I am a full time student with a full time job, as such most days I only have time for a quick beginner bots game to get my daily before or after work. That way I can at least earn up some of the champs I want for those days when I can play more often again.

Except I can't even do THAT anymore, because ANet won't do ANYTHING about bots in the AI game modes.

It has been two weeks, doing a match or more a day, since I have had a single game with less than two bots in it, it has been two days since I have been able to get a single game with less than four bots in it, which are impossible to win as the bots do nothing but suicide in to enemy turrets and use random skills to avoid AFK deteciton. Meaning I have been jipped out of what little progress that I can make because of riots complete uncaring attitude towards this issue.

And the best part is, ANet won't even let me report these people! It is blatantly obvious to anyone that they are bots, but instead of reporting them or giving their names to support we have to just allow these people to ruin the game because Anet would rather wait on a bot detection script coming out who knows when than listen to their players.

I have just been slowly getting back in to this game over the last few months, I'm not sure I should bother now, if ANet doesn't care about their playerbase why should the playerbase care about ANet's game?

Having played with beginner bots many times, I haven't had nearly the same issues as you. Perhaps you are confusing bad players with bots or you're playing Dominion when you could be on SR? I recommend playing intermediate bots (they're not that much harder).

And following through on every bot-related ban is a pretty bad idea for obvious reasons. Waiting for bot-detecting scripts is a better plan in almost every way.

Wow... Beginner bots... How does your allied bots ruin it for you though?? With them not doing well, you should be able to get a Pentakill easily. So how are allied bots screwing you over?? Not quite sure I get this.

This is happening on all game modes. No matter if its vs AI or PVP its ruining the game, after midnight its guaranteed that ur going to play with at least 1 bot if your not in a full team. Ive played games where i was the only human, idk why im still playing, its such a horrible waste of my time and its ruining this game. This used to be the best game, it did everything every game should have done and has opened up so many new horizons in the gaming community. Your game is falling apart riot, please do something
