It's patch 8.1, new ranked season starts next week and new rune pages have been developed. Yet we still have an overabundant botting problem in Twisted Treeline. I have played 6 games in a row now and have only met 2 real players. Riot why has this not been fixed yet? This has been a problem for years now. Do something.

They'll do to it what they did to Dominion and remove it.

Dominion also had a botting problem and was removed after being neglected for god knows how long. Only a matter of time before the same happens to Twisted Treeline.

Bots were only a minor part of Riot's official reasoning for removing Dominion. It'd actually be strange if bots were ever a significant reason for removing any game mode, since Riot should be well aware that removing game modes doesn't solve the botting issue. Driving the bots out of custom games only made the bots move to Co-op and PvP queues. Removing Dominion simply concentrated the bots in the other modes. There's no reason to expect removing another game mode would help against bots.

This doesn't mean that Riot won't claim some other reason for killing off Treeline, but bots won't/shouldn't be the primary reason.

Yeah, i only play twisted treeline and that bot -problem really sucks. Often i get 2 bots and play vs 2 or 3 human-players. a ****ing waste of time:/

just had finished my 4th game with bot teamates after 15 min wait each time. every time i play there are about 70-80% chance i would have a bot in my game. This is a fun game but these bots do not surrender and makes people captive on the game till end. Besides the toxic players and incredibly rude people, this infestation of uncontrollable bots made this game go downhill. no wonder people have gradually quit the game.

I've played 10 to 20 games in the past few weeks and only met 2 real people, at first i didn't know about the bot problem and thought these were just really stupid new players, because they did give me honors sometimes.
