Bots in Treeline if someone on your team is AFK are f***ing dumb.

Really, Riot. You need to do something about this. 4/5 games someone will fail to connect at all or be a level 5 in WAY over their heads in Intermediate bots. The latter you can't really help without pissing off every single smurf that exists, but the former is a REAL ISSUE. When someone AFKs in 5v5 bots, one of the bots sits out until they come back. WHY DOES THIS NOT HAPPEN IN TREELINE? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY LOSSES IN TREELINE ARE BECAUSE ONE OR BOTH OF THE PEOPLE AFK. If they BOTH don't afk, the one who is left is usually a drooling buffoon who does little more than feed 0/30. It's stupid. It seems like no matter who I play, if I get stuck in a 1v3 situation against Leona, Malzahar, Zilean and his infinitely available ult, Annie, or Shen (Just to name a few), it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to win, because they will control both altars nearly the entire game, and when you finally manage to push to one of their turrets, ALL THREE OF THEM ARE PUSHED AGAINST YOUR OPPOSITE TURRET AND HAVE TWO WAVES OF MINIONS WITH THEM. Either SEVERELY cut down the amount of gold that bots get over time in Treeline, or just implement the "Someone afks, a bot afks" system you have in 5v5s. It really shouldn't be THAT hard!

inb4 the "Oh you should be able to solo carry against 20 bots" comments from the trolls and whatnot, but I know I can't be the only one out there who's tired of this. It's like because Treeline is a less popular map, the people like me who DO like it are getting punished for playing it.

The problem is players using junk bots to play on the treeline.

The person feeding 0/30 is not an idiot, he's a bad program.

Anyways I have actually carried 2 of these programs, in beginner though (do you get them in intermediate? ). It's also not going to recognize them as afk because they still act.

There isn't much riot can do about the scripts other than to locate and Sue the companies creating them...

Yeah, it was in Intermediate. And it would be nice if they were some stupid program, but this was an actual person. Talked, had super shitty builds, and then got mad at me in VERY broken English when I tried to ask them to either fix their build and play style or to just sit at base and stop feeding and taking farm I could be using productively.

I would post the match history, but you're not allowed to name-and-shame. Long story short, they had TWO hunter's machetes and 4 mana potions on GAREN, and literally never built anything past that in a 30 minute game.

Wow that's brutal. And I thought the programs were bad :p

(They still are but that person was abysmal).

Yeah. Like I said, at least the programs build proper items. Granted they sit in lane and CS, ignoring the enemy bots, but in the case of the ones who play champs with AoE abilities, at least you can use them as a sort of turret. They also mindlessly push turrets, which is useful as well if you can keep the enemy bots' attention elsewhere.
