Riot - Why Not Add A Bot Check Before Games?

I understand that it would be a pain for people, but this would eliminate completely the problem. It would erase it from the game.

Everyone knows bots are wrecking the game experience and costing Riot big time as people are not enjoying playing with a 0-20 player and losing badly.

The best solution is to just remove the grinding already and give players the option to skip leveling. That is what is creating the problems that would drive new players away like bots, restricted summoners, stat-disadvantaged champions, etc.

Lol, 1 out of every 3 ARAM games have one or more bots. Harder to spot there. Should have said ARAM although my last 3 TT games had bots.

Bots are only a problem on trash elo SR - where you probably can't tell them apart from actual players. Rare ARAM matches - Which Riot patrols. TT, which Riot is currently in the process of killing Dominioning. And Customs, where they don't really bother anyone. Possibly in pre-lvl 30 games. I haven't been there for a while so I wouldn't know.

Besides, if bots were permanently eliminated from the game, how would people test their internet connection? (Waits for nobody to get the joke.)

Well, bots are rare?

I've never seen a bot in my life. Is that a thing in this game?

The programmers for bots would find a way around it, and actual players would quit because they wanted to play league, not Captcha
