Influx of Bots

Ok... I just lost an intermediate bots game because there was 3 bots on my team and the other human had no clue how to play. This is absurd! Is there nothing you can so to stop so many bots from entering co-op vs ai? It wasn't just this game, I'd estimate in at least 80% of co-op games there's at least 1 or more bot(s) on the human team. They all have a human name with 3 or more letters in lowercase, uppercase, lower case format ie JohneHt or SandrayUj or at least something similar to that. This has been going on for quite some time now and I've finally decided to post about it because it's not acceptable. Can you not create an algorithm to stop this? I mean it would sure be nice if it was only bots on the enemy team!

They had one. It was called Twisted Treeline. But because Riot refused to do anything about, probably because it was full of bots, they removed it so all the bots had to move to SR bot games.

All we can do is report, wait for the ban wave, report again, wait for ban wave, report again.... repeat for the rest of League's life, because Riot will only ban in waves to prevent the people who made the bot from knowing how they got detected.

It should be obvious for them to know how they were detected.. Their bots, they feed, players report them.... No secret to hide there.. Frustrating they take so long, but until there is some sort of authentication, it will always be an issue because it costs nothing to create a free account/email. And people must actually buy accounts so it's worth it for them (the bot runners) :(

The real problem is that leveling to 30 is boring and people would rather pay a few bucks for a smurf account. There is a market for those bot-leveled accounts and that is the real problem that should be addressed.

If you lose vs intermediate bots, the problem is you.

Man who could have seen this coming...how terrible...if only Riot took proper measures to prevent bots and banned accounts with suspicious behavior...
