The bot situation is getting out of hand

Apparently with the removal of Twisted Treeline they've all migrated to co-op vs ai games. Today it was 2 real people with 3 bots vs. Riot bots. The Riot bots are superior in every way so our match dragged on for 40 minutes because our bots fed like crazy; absurd for a co-op vs. ai game. God forbid these bots wind up in real pvp games (and with how some people tend to play, it would not be shocking).

I suggest if an account gets repeatedly reported using a bot (in the description of the report the keyword or phrase is "a bot" or "bot) then your give them a 7 day ban with an e-mail notification and if they keep doing it, a perma-ban. League of Legends is a player-driven experience and having "surprise" bots on ones team can seriously damage the player experience for everyone actually playing.

Furthermore, bots function as a farming method to make in-game currency steadily generated which could arguably interfere with the economy used to sell champions, skins, and other content to the playerbase. These bots are a serious threat to that financial cornerstone.

Please Riot, do something about this!

Next Riot decides to remove Coop vs Ai. Bots move to PvP blahahah xD jk jk They might as well resign themselves and make a bot vs bot queue lol. 'Banning in waves' clearly has a major negative impact on the player experience and especially with this blatant botting abuse.

I'd argue that part of the reason why Twisted Treeline and Dominion have died off is because of the bot infestation that has not really been addressed!

conspiracy theory: riot doesn't want to get rid of them for when they are showing advertisers, for a league like LCS, it shows more unique accounts playing in a region on a daily basis
