First Dominion had them, now ARAM...

...has a majority of its games being full of AIs that can't do anything but walk into towers or feed me. I just got a Pentakill as Annie, then suicided into their fountain because I just stopped giving fucks. The pattern of these games is that 2 of my allies each are real and AIs respectively, while the entirety of the opponent's team is full of AIs. While I'm using this chance to grab easy chests, it's severely disappointing and brings back memories of Dominion before it got deleted from Riot. Speaking of patterns, Dominion followed the same pattern before it was deleted from Riot. I really hope this is just temporary, but if Riot's past is coming up again we may see Riot deleting ARAM as well. While we don't know if they'll actually take ARAM away, what do you think your reaction will be if it does go away?

I play a ton of ARAM. Like a LOT of ARAM. Like 1154 wins worth of ARAM. Have never seen a bot once. Just me?

Only two ways you'll see bots in ARAM.

Leveling a new account.
If your ARAM MMR is about Bronze V level then you'll see them as well. I've never seen a bot in ARAM post 30, but they definitely exist.

Already Level 30 (and have been for a fairly long time), and I'm also Silver rank (thought I suppose I should be higher).

Remember ARAM MMR and ranked MMR are different things, so you could in theory be diamond mmr in ranked but still be bronze 5-ish mmr in ARAM.

I made sure to check, it specifically says ARAM. All 3 (wins, takedowns, towers destroyed) are Silver rank. Continuing, since I'm typing, I just had another two games in ARAM. Our team ended up having an AI while the opponents had none; they won. Then another game (which we lost, I would say was due to me going in too recklessly as Sion) had the opponents with a Jax AI. Doubt it matters, but the AIs' names were Akaitilthan and CynthiadVwBb. They're not registered names so I doubt I'll get a warning for that.

The emblems on your profile for normals/ARAM have nothing to do with your ARAM mmr (likewise the normals emblems don't reflect your normals mmr), and just advance through the different ranks (from bronze through diamond) reflecting your lifetime totals in each category. Even if you feed horribly every game, and win 1 out of every 100 games, if you played 60100 ARAM games (enough to get the 601 wins required for diamond ARAM wins), you'd have a diamond emblem for each category, but have an abysmally low bronze 5 equivalent ARAM mmr.
