Went into a bots game expecting only 5, instead I got 9.

I Thought it was odd when they all had smite/heal but thought, "whatever, its just bots". They all sat in fountain for the first couple minutes, then bought and went into the jungle. They soon either got executed or had to recall. For quite some time and , i think AFK'd. Probably the hardest bots game due to trying to juggle defending all towers and pushing down mid. Why are so many bot level accounts allowed to exist? Were all 4 somehow in a pre-made group of leveling? Can we do more frequent rounds of bot banning or something to prevent this from happening so much?

Definitely report them for cheating (botting is using not approved programs), and when this happens, I recommend buying items like Sunfire Cape, Zz'Rot Portal, and Banner of Command. This helps make up for the missing teammates. It will still be difficult, of course. Alternatively you could just leave the game since nobody from the game will report you.

Been seeing more jungle bots lately. Harder to notice they are bots if they aren't in your lane/running down mid. So their success-rate as sell-able must be higher, less reports shutting down their profit margins.

The Jinx - Hecarim jungle bot combo. Sure do love when that one comes up. It's ridiculously common to have bots in a bot game (that are supposed to be players before anyone gets snarky) these days. I'd say about 3/5 games have at least one bot, and it will most likely "try" to jungle, before going AFK, then running it down mid for a kill/execute, then AFK in the jungle for the rest of the game, ending the game at like level 7 at best. Something should be done about it, but there aren't many ways to tell they're bots vs "unskilled players".

They are bots made to level so they can sell level 30 accounts
