ARAM is filled with int feeding bots

I am putting this here because every single topic that's placed in Player Behavior & Moderation about this issue seems like it's being ignored and I am hoping that maybe putting it here gets it more attention. Because for months now, ARAM is been plagued with int feeding bots. I am reporting every single one I see but they are still there. Riot, you seriously need to do something about this because the experience of this game mode is being ruined.

It seems to me that it really shouldn't be that hard to get rid of them either, just look for any lvl 30 account that has no masteries and has numerous games with low kills and high deaths. Congratulations, you've found a bot! Just permaban any account like this and have it set to auto ban any similar account like it. Please, I'm really sick of hoping for these things: 1) that there are no bots 2)the bots are on the other side or there are more bots on theirs than yours 3) that somehow the real players can get fed enough that the bots don't matter 4) the bots get dc'ed of afk'ed. It's disheartening to know that you have pretty much a guaranteed loss if there's one or more bots on your team.

Just also want to mention that while sometimes I do hope the bot is on the other team I don't feel that good about it either because they are getting screwed over. I only feel that way because there is almost guaranteed to be at least one bot in any ARAM game and forgive me If I'd rather it be on the other team than mine.

Riot never does anything about the mass amount of botting done on League; trying to play PvP on a low leveled account is next to a joke with how often you'll get paired with 3 bots a game. Asking your teammates to report them doesn't ever help either. For whatever reason, no one else can figure out the champions standing in the same spot, not using abilities ever, or buying items that make literally no sense aren't actual human players.
Best we can do is report them for cheating, write in the box it is a botter, and hope Riot's broken report system actually bans the account. (Although we all know the report system is a joke 90% of the time.)

How can you be sure it's not just a bad human player? Is having false positives better than having false negatives?

As an aside, there's bots that still run after hitting level 30? I thought they were generally used by account sellers, who'd have no reason to continue running a bot after it hits max summoner level.

I forgot another thing you have to hope for: that if there are an equal number of bots on both sides, that the ones on your team don't feed as hard as theirs do.

It's getting even worse lately, I've seen numerous games with a total of 6 bots in the game. It's like there are more bots then there are real players. Probably because a good number of them are not playing because of it.

Everygame continuosly has bots. And they cant vote or nothing. I was pissed, now I get the same bot on my team thrice, and I have reported each time!! Ironically I have a chat ban because Riot only seems to be checking chatlogs for their system. This is hopeless! Thrice in a row? Same bot? I reported it each game. Theyre way too obvious, please hire some skilled Data Analyst/Scientist, or give me a ping here and I will do it for free. This is a shame.
