@Riot Can we start banning bots??

Problem? A lot of players experience Co-op vs AI pretty frustrating.. You queue up for a co-op vs AI game but it turns out to be you vs AI since all of your allies are programmed bots that will run it down mid just to farm games. Third party programs that removes the option of not playing at all scripts for example is of course unacceptable.

I think Riot should be more strict when it comes down to this because when I queue up for a Co-op vs AI, I don't expect to play a game with 9 bots which is sad. It affects new player negatively since you expect to play with other players and can start a friendly communication with them which in this case would be impossible since they are bots.

Well I do think Riot see the problem in this too and are already banning people that abuses this, but I can't really see it. They are doing a great job banning scripters/cheaters so why would this be a problem? Is it because they care less about Co-op vs AI? Probably, but this matter shouldn't be overlooked.

**Solution? ** Some kind of system that will analyze players that gets reported for Third Party Use and inting. They will get an warning and if they continue to abuse it, permaban. Well it's easy for me to sit here and talk but I really want League to be more friendly towards newer players. And yes my idea has flaws but not doing anything is even worse. "New players gets banned cause they die and don't know how the game works?" Well doing 0 damage, 20 deaths on like 20 mins shouldn't be possible, even for newer players.

Please give me your suggestions on a fix and I do hope Riot put more effort in this problem.

I think the solution is Riot AI.

By using Riot AI, instead of actual players, new players will never be exposed to toxicity. The system can even be scaled for premade groups.

They ban bots in waves. Thing is, people make new bots.

I had a smiliar post about this earlier and they don't seem to think there is any sort of issue with bots, based of what i was told here https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Kebpv1Zc-is-there-a-mod-or-preferably-rioter-willing-to-have-a-quick-discussion

they seem to think they've got a good handle on it.
