Increase of Bots in League?

I've been playing a lot more Co-op vs Ai games recently (Helps me with tilt), and I don't think I've played a game without a bot in it. Its always an Ashe with Ghost/Heal. They run mid and Suicide under turret repeatedly. The last game I played I'm pretty sure had 3 bots in it Sejuani, Leona, and Ashe. I asked them if they were a bot and not a single one of them replied, even after i told them how to reply. I looked at their match history and they are all Co-op vs Ai with 0 kills and several deaths. Anyone Notice an increase in Bots?

The amount of player botting has been ridiculous for awhile and is getting progressively worse. You're seeing more player bots in ARAM now and they frequently poke their head into Rotating Game Mode Queue.

Until Riot decides to actually try to do something about it, best that can be done is just report them and hope others do as well.

This is a known problem. They are people trying to lvl up accounts to sell, very bad stuff. You can do your part by reporting them.

They always seem to take Ghost and Heal as spells, that's how you can tell the majority of the time

I just met my first bot yesterday, it's the reason why we lost pvp .-. but other than that i don't think I've had any other encounters.

The main problem is Riot has made it incredibly obvious they're not going to take any hard to steps to solve the problem. Because Riot refuses to actively punish bots and bans them in waves that allows them to get to level 30 and get sold before getting banned, there is absolutely 0 reason to stop botting. The primary reason is because Riot is ridiculously lazy when it comes to this and they don't want to constantly update their bot detection algorithms and doing every few weeks instead of constantly is easier on them even if it screws over the playerbase. What's more annoying is that the tribunal would actually be really good at spotting bots and getting rid of them and that doesn't require bot detection algorithm updates. But Riot doesn't give a crap about the tribunal either.

They were in my last 2 ARAM games, and they are almost always 1-2 in my Co Op vs Intermediate AI games.

The new bots don't always get Ghost/Heal anymore, a lot of them are getting barrier and flash as well. Thought they rarely use them. Some also buy pink wards now but will never place them.
