Can't add bot to custom game

When I try to add a bot to a custom game it is automatically removed after a short delay. Has this feature been removed?

This does suck since it is one of the only ways I play League anymore is make custom games like that. Which I do wish they would add more bots to pick from on there. As well as add some more functions to it. Even though I can tell I am the minority on this. But I just am sick of playing with other players after playing for many years. And at some times just don't have the time to sit there and play none stop. Some people ask how you can have fun this way? I do I build different teams I just enjoy playing all of the legends and builds for them. I don't need hyper aggressive game play against other people who play by the meta and only by the meta. Plus league has removed most of the fun parts of building these off meta champs. They said how they want you to play how you want to play but then got rid of many of the ways to come up with new and crazy builds that I used to love.Not all of it is gone but most. I am also in love with the lore more and would love to see them continue to capitalize on this. Would love to eventually see short films or more importantly TV like series would be amazing. Sorry I had to explain all of this, but you will get roasted by everyone if you don't explain your self to a T.

I started playing customs here and there after Riot started making meta picks much stronger than offmeta to the point where you can't do anything unless there is a huge skill gap

No,no dude,you are perfectly right! I do the same thing like you because in this mode is more fun(that's my opinion).

Don't worry, you're not the only one who prefers this mode. Custom games are the best way to practice with champions, or to enjoy the game without being pressured or flamed by teammates in general. It's even more annoying that the tool doesn't seem to work lately. Here's to hoping Riot fixes the bug asap.

Because the server is having a high demand, probably due TFT and to preserve server's stability, not only have they disabled Training and Customs games with bots, but also they have put a delay in queue for TFT for the same reason. Only Customs with 10 players are allowed at this moment.

This is so stupid. Not only they dont fix the bugs with bots but they even disable it completely. I hate RIOT more than I hate EA

When will custom games with bots be enabled again?

This is so weird to disable half the game for a new game mode --'

This. I'm hoping something can be done soon, I'm also one of those people who plays custom games a lot. I was actually thinking TFT would come up with its own client and stuff, something totally on the side. Given the fiasco it was on day 1 servers side they should clearly have dedicated much of their effort toward creating something new, not just a new mode.

Same here, total useless client right now, as well as lags in game after adding TFT...whats wrong with this RIOT

This is extremely frustrating as this is my way to test out builds and new champions without having to make online people pay the price. Not to mention it's also fun and relaxing. I was hoping that this was just a bug and not a "tactic" that Riot used to prepare for TFT; Reason being, why on earth would you take out a segment that makes the game what it is, just to accommodate for a new game mode? If the servers being in high demand was that big of an issue, there are far better ways to go about that than taking away the solidarity of the game as a whole. They say you can run a custom if it's a max of 10 people (5v5) but hey Riot, I can't do that because i'm not allowed to add in Bots to even make it to the quota, which is max btw. This will go down as one of the worst mistakes made by Riot, even after this situation is resolved.. Players should be given settlements when things like this occur, like a free random skin or even a champ shard or something; and this is coming from someone who actually spend a little change every here and there on this game. Sorry to all those who are in the same boat as I - it sucks.

Hey guys ... they are working hard on that problem. Dont forget ... Riot is a small indie company! ... Oh wait

Gotta love adding a beta game mode to the game and disabling bots in custom game modes to off load server issue's. [sg-lux]

I've asked riot about this and they told that because of Teamfight Tactics they've disabled bots in custom games.
