Player Bots on SR

Recently Blind Pick on SR has been plagued by bots. The games are no fun. Even when it would be possible to win a 4v5, the other team simply feeds off of the bot and becomes nigh unbeatable. But what's worse, some people refuse to surrender because they mistakenly believe that the game is still winnable. Something needs to be done. I don't know what, but something. Bots are easy to spot, they run ghost/heal and never buy trinkets. There's no reason not to buy trinkets. So maybe tie the ability to vote to buying a trinket. That way if 3 out of 4 want to surrender, the bot's lack of vote doesn't count and we can all move on. I don't know. Just, something needs to be done. I can't even play blind pick's anymore, which is where I like to try out new champs and builds. AI games go too fast and are too easy for that.

just running ghost/heal means nothing... i have played with a lot of people who are not bots (as they talked during the game a lot) but never once bought a trink....

i would LOVE to be able to spot bots, i would report them every single game i saw one in.... but i have no clue how to see em.... how does anyone know? this choice on summoner spells seems insufficient to decide if they r a bot

Typically they run ghost/heal and buy no trinkets. But in the game, it's pretty easy to spot one. The badly programmed ones just run right into the turret before the minions even spawn. Obviously they never talk, never join teamfights, and stay exclusively in their lane the entire game no matter what else is going on. Some of them even simply buy doran's items or boots all game.
