Bots in games

Something seriously needs to be done about all these bot players, especially in aram. I love playing aram when I just want to play a quick, fun game, but almost every single game in the past couple months has had bot's playing in them. I just played a game on a lower level account as I'm teaching a friend how to play, and when a champion essentially just walks in and dies a dozen times in 15 minutes, it makes for an extremely unfair game. I've been consistently reporting, but it does not seem to be alleviating the issue at all. Please fix this somehow, even if you have to use one of those "I'm not a robot" text or picture things upon starting a match or something. I love this game and this issue is ruining it for me and a lot of others.

Riot has been notoriously unwilling to even acknowledge the fact that this is happening.

The only good news is that eventually your MMR will rise to where you won't get matched with the bots anymore, though they may still show up to throw one of your game from time to time. Just not in the mass numbers that new players have to deal with, fortunately.

That would explain why I didn't notice it to be very common on my main account, but happens like every game on my lower account. Still would be nice to fix, but the MMR makes sense.
