Level 30, just played an ARAM against bots?

I am so confused.

My buddy and I have been playing a lot of ranked recently and thought we would do an ARAM for fun but in loading screen we notice none of them have masteries and when we try and look them up, they don't exist.

There is a singed on the enemy team who is real but everyone seems to be a bot? They don't talk in chat and basically suicide.

I wasn't aware the game mode changed?!

I tried looking it up but it seems to only effect low-level summoners however I am 30, ranked and have been playing for years.

Does anyone know what happened?

if you play aram for the first time or havent played it for a long time, then you will be matches up against bad players and other players that also havent played it in a long time. probably why you got matched with bots

People program bots to play their accounts and get ip for them.

The bots are most prevalent/problematic at low levels, but they can show up at higher levels, too. Basically, if you've never played aram, or not played enough to bring your MMR up some, you might run into some bots who are at the starting MMR for the mode, just like you. all it should take is a few wins to pull your MMR up some and you should be above what the bots are capable of reaching.

Your MMR in aram might be quite low. Once it goes up, you won't run into bots anymore.
