Bots have literally infested the Treeline

I sent this to Riot and they sent me here. this is the Email that I sent them.

Hello, I have been playing Leagues for a long time and one of my favorite modes was the Twisted Tree Line. Over the years I would run into bots and after some time the twisted tree line was unplayable. You can search google about this and you will see a lot of forums talking about it, but Riot has yet to address this issue. Could you please set up something like CAPTCHA or find some way to screen for bots as I would love to start playing the twisted tree line again. Thank you, Fightingchef

Check out the link for a 2 year old post about this and how it has not been fixed. For the love of leagues do something!

it's official, every few people who are on twisted tree lines, we need to report the bots, clean them out. It'll start small, but each bot account booted will be one less bot to face.

About 66% of the matches I play on TTL are me, and five bots.

The bots are easy to identify, not just through their play style and lack of communication, but also because they have a name that is a normal word, plus some random letters.

I'm fairly certain that Riot chooses to allow the bots to dominate TTL, even though officially they prohibit it. I'm a programmer, and it would be fairly easy to catch bots, through a combination of algorithms and making it only marginally easier to report someone specifically as a bot. Just an extra radio button at the end-game report, even.

This happened to Dominion shortly before Riot shut us down for good.

I hope that doesn't happen to you guys, too.

I've Just got back in to playing League after a large break (3 years or so) and this is a real turn off. I love TT and its one of my favorite modes. However I am about to leave the game again because of this. I've seen them in TT and ARAM. all that I would like to know is if its at least being worked on. I've seen a lot of posts from years back bringing this up, however have not seen any response from riot. Even if they aren't working on it, it would be greatly appreciated if we were told why. We don't want to lose TT, but we don't want to lose matches 3v1 because of bots.
