This is what new players see when they queue up for intro co-op vs AI

So there I go, doing intro bots to get through the current missions as quickly as possible (I need to win about half a dozen games on each account to knock them out for this week). We load in, Ez goes bot, and I watch the other three briefly before I head top. They don't move, buy items, or chat. Shortly after minions spawn, the three other "players" suddenly buy items and run it down mid at the exact same time.

And I do mean "run it down mid." They attack-move the enemy Nexus with the occasional few steps back for the rest of the game, and more than half of our team's deaths are executes. Fortunately, intro bots are even worse than beginner bots, and will often flat-out ignore you as they run under your turret, so these three "players" did manage to get a few kills between them.

Ez never said anything, but I believe he is a human player who just picked up the game a few hours ago and has been playing it since that time. The other three "players" have been "playing" since yesterday, during which they "played" 19 games apiece. And - I guarantee you - if they keep "playing," they will accrue about two dozen games per day, every day, as they "play" nonstop with no food or rest.

Because they are bots. You know, the problem Riot's new anti-cheat system was supposed to solve.

This is an abysmal impression for new players. You can air as many ridiculous ads as you want, but if a new player actually tries the game and finds that it's infested with scripters while the game itself has obvious bugs like the load screen incorrectly showing all bots with Cleanse/Smite, a single bot issuing all "greetings" at the beginning and end of the game, and more, they will leave. Players who leave don't spend money, and they don't tell their friends to spend money.

TL;DR: The new player experience still sucks due to rampant bugs and scripters.
