ARAM seemed less bot like

Did ARAM feel better to anyone today? Usual I get bots ( or people that dont talk) that just run out and die, play same way, wait for me to move, stuff like that.

Also i hear they might not even be Roit bots but instead peoples farming bots? is this true, or are bots only in Co-Op vs AI? Are the bots getting better?

Riot does not employ bots in modes not designed for them (vs. AI, customs, Doom Bots etc.), so if you encounter a bot where a player should be it's because the player is using an illegal program (likely to level or farm IP) and you should report it under the "Cheating" category with a description.

As for sometimes getting them in ARAM, if your MMR is low you might come across them way more than normal; they can't win much so they don't climb, and get banned before they do. If you can win enough and get your MMR up you won't see them ever again, but since bot bans are done in waves and can take a week or two after detection to be banned sometimes, lower MMR gets stuck with them occasionally.

If you have a new account, you'll likely encounter people EXP/IP farming with an illegal bot program. The ones I see a lot on my other account start with boots, stand behind a tower, and then immediately run at the enemy laner and normally feed first blood. If you see this, please report them so hopefully new players don't have to put up with this.
