Bots overrunning gamemodes

So, right around when ascension came out I went to play a game on twisted treeline, and more than half of the people would not talk, played free champions, constantly fed, never retreated, bought stupid builds, and only used heal and ghost. I realized that they were probably bots. I played a few more games and still I kept seeing players with only ghost and heal who just walked up to me and let me kill them, or sometimes just ran into towers. When ascension was taken away, it stopped, but I started noticing them in aram games. Here is a link to the mach history of one of these games where the entire pink team are bots;all have ghost and heal in the same order, have stupid builds, and seemed to be feeding a lot.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? I didn't care too much when it was just TT because no one really plays that, but ARAM is sacred! Is there any way we can fix this?

So, yes, Riot is doing something about it. No, they aren't doing anything about it in the near future. I believe their response will come out when the tribunal gets put back on line with all their new tracking and automation. They want to automatically detect as much as possible, and I'd hope finding Bots would fall into that scope.

As of right now, it's on their radar, but they aren't doing anything publicly about it.

This is still very much happening in all game modes, after midnight it seems that there will be a minimum of 1 bot per team. Ive played games where i was the only human. This game is being ruined. I dont see how this isnt the biggest problem on every forum. People need to post more about this and try to talk a little more, clearly this isnt seemingly urgent enough to riot, it has been going on for a long time now. Im posting on as many forums as i can see but im sad to find that there arent more discussions about these bots. I feel like this problem is at an all time high and should be #1 issue. People need to talk more about this! Make it a big deal! Because it is!

Riot this is an issue that has ruined all game modes besides the rift (in my experience) as a semi-active ranked player (S4) and an avid fan who has spent an obscene amount of money on the game ($300+) I simply don't understand why this has not been addressed! Those in the community who spend money and play in ranked do actually care about the less popular game modes, if you're not going to provide equal support and monitoring to all game modes then why do those game modes even exist? Rito we are calling on you to take action immediately! We want to see change! Until changes are made I am vowing to not spend any more money on your company, and if this goes on much longer I will uninstall entirely. Please don't let my favorite online game be ruined.
