Why are bots so prevalent in Dominion?

I just played a game against three bots, where at least one of my team was also a bot. I decided to check on one of the bot's match histories, and DISCOVERED there exist games of dominion where THREE BOTS FIGHTING THREE BOTS. Doesn't this bother you Riot? Can you write something to catch this specific "name" generator.

I mean, they aren't trying hard. I don't even need scripting to copy them.

("random first name" or "random word") + a + ("random last name + z" or "latino last name") ??

Probably because like one person at Riot oversees dominion and they probably hate their job because he's the only one that has to do it and he probably feels like it's a shitty job.

If it could have some actual support, then maybe they'd do something bout it but I dunno.

No one works specifically on Dominion. Everyone works specifically on everything, from what I understand.

Well they do have specialty areas. For instance, ManWolfAxeBoss is on the maps and modes team, and he is usually the riot liaison when talking about Dominion.

Sadly he is probably pulled to other projects on a constant basis, but he has been actively ignoring dominion since the end of last year.

Dominion has been changed patch 5.13.

Dominion gets specific balance changes every few patches.
