Can we add a "restricted from Intermediate Bots"?

Look at my match history (last match as fiddlesticks). This is not uncommon. As sad as it is, there are bots, trolls, and 5 year olds that do nothing but feed and verbally abuse each other. I've never had a bots game I couldn't carry, but when the Garen started intentionally feeding it got close to me losing the 1v9.

This is really offputting for new players. They shouldn't lose a bots game or be forced to deal with intentionally feeding teammates. AFAIK, nobody is ever punished for bots games. They need to be forced to play beginner or the tutorial until they learn that feeding is not appropriate behavior in a team oriented game.

EDIT: Another potential solution is locking them to custom games. Forcing them to play a number of custom matches alone so this doesn't just shift the problem to beginner bots.

I agree people should have to do really dumb stuff that drives them nuts when they do stuff like that

You do get punished for misbehaving in bot games. Report these people and justice will be done,

Shifting the problem to beginner bots is a bad idea.

I wouldn't even mind forcing them to play the tutorial 800 times if they refuse to stop being a toxic player. Or locking them to custom games without the general public.

Oh, if they continue to be toxic they get a permanent ban. Then they don't even get to play the tutorial.

That's also fine by me but I want to also consider the people who are just horrible but not necessarily trolls. The 0/16 Janna deserved to be restricted from intermediate bots for a while, but not banned. I think the tutorial should be expanded to include CSing, the implications of feeding, objectives, itemization etc. Then restrictions could require a one time revisit to the tutorial, and a number of beginner or custom games.
