Every time there is players that just feeds and do what they want, why do others think these are bots? If you have ever played a bot you would know bots are programmed to run back to base when health gets to a certain point unless the programming determines they can most likely make the kill. bots disengage from a fight not run straight into it just to die or stand under a tower while being hit, give me insight into your logic that players are bots?

They don't mean Riot's AI when they say bot. They mean someone botting with the account to level it without playing. These bots most typically either just run around the jungle all game killing camps (or dying to them) or they spawn, stop at mid inhibitor (typically with boots) until the minions spawn then walk to mid lane over and over all game. Mid bots tend to int like you say on accident sometimes if there aren't minions around.

They're mostly found in co-op vs AI Summoner's Rift, low level ARAM, and low level Twisted Treeline. You typically won't see them after you raise your MMR a bit on these modes contrary to popular belief. The only one that sometimes I ever see a bot in is co-op vs. AI. It's usually the worst before a big ban wave comes from Riot.

As for who you're playing with being a bot, you'd be able to tell by these patterns. Most likely, though, it's just people using it as an insult.

I've also seen people confuse a very new player with a bit before as well, but the way a new player plays is still more varied over time if you keep watching.
