Bots in PVP 3v3 Twisted Treeline (PLEASE READ THIS, TT IS BROKEN)

I really don't know where to post this bullshit, because I don't see how this issue fits in ANY of the boards provided, so I will post it here, hope someone will read this, because this is a total disaster.

There are bots being matched up into games on Twisted Treeline. Two games in a row I was matched up with some bullshit bots, in PVP 3v3 games. Not in-game bots, just bot accounts. How do I know that?

Well, just to state something you can find out by yourself by clicking on my profile, I am lvl 30 player. I haven't played ranked in a while, but I've been playing normals consistently for the past two weeks, and I've been matched up normally, until today. In the first game, I had two "real" players in my team, and, as I found out later, three bots in enemy team. It was 3 clearly 30lvl players with all masteries and club tags versus 3 champs that have nothing. Is this the new matchup algorithm? I think not.

And they behave just like very stupidly programmed bots. Staying on 0% loading progress for a minute, in the loading screen. No interaction in chat. Total absence of logical behavior - casting abilities into nothing, casting summoner spells by cooldown, blindly walking forward without any pattern. And all nicknames are generated by the template + , for example: "ThomasVhjFs", "HgfFtSam", "CaiAOGreg" etc.

in the second game I matched up "2 bots + me" vs "2 bots + player". And same behavior - generated nicknames, random picks, random casts, and no pattern to the actions whatsoever.

Please, people, upvote this thread, because this shit is fucked up. We need Riot to pay attention to this, because people are matched up against not even bots, but just stupid dummies, in a normal queue! What if this transitions into SR? I din't check if it was already there, but I guess if it was, there would be reports by now.

Please, TT is broken, get Riots attention to this NOW.

UPD I will go into another TT match torture right now and try to attach a replay.

Yeah man I noticed this today... It seems like periodical bot infestations are just something you have to deal with on treeline. A few months ago there was a very similar phenomenon with slightly more intelligent bots--Riot fixed it then so hopefully they can figure it out this time! Until they do though... you might just want to stick to the rift.

they need to remove bots all to together in PVP. i would rather not play a fucking game than play with bots. i just went 57 and 0. 2 bots on my team 3 on the enemy team. FOR FUCKS SAKE. Who in their right minds at riot signed off on this?

Ya it happened all of a sudden in the last 3 days or so. Almost every single game has at least 1 bot in it. Could it be because the new season is starting, and people are making lvl 30 accounts to sell for people starting in the new season?

It's gotten even worse. I just played a game by myself, (with no friends in queue) I ended up playing with all bots. All the enemy team, and my teammates were bots. I was able to tell because they all tower dived, and the jax on my team used tp to teleport to a minion wave that he was standing in. He was full health and still tried to run back to the fountain. I'm not sure about the other teamate, we did /remake because he possibly dc'd

It is even worse now. I just played 3v3 PvP and it seems whomever has the least amount of stupid bots win. I'm here to play and have fun. Not to be aggravated by bots. I've reported SO many accounts but I'm still seeing the same accounts I have reported come back weeks later. RIOT needs to fix this bull shit. I've spent a lot of money on several accounts and RIOT better care to fix it before more people leave for good, including myself.
