Do you realize how many bots there are in Co-op vs AI?

So my friend started league a few months ago and i made a new account to level up along with my friend while teaching him. And Holy Crap there is SOOOOO many bots in co-op vs ai games, im not joking when i say 8 out of 10 games me and my friend have ATLEAST 1 bot on our team if not more, i even lost one game of co-op vs ai because there was 3 bots on my team just running down mid lane killing themselves non stop, and try as i may its pretty damn hard to fight 2v5 when ALL 5 of the enemy bots have ATLEAST 10+ kills on you, and the only other real person on my team is really new to the whole 5v5 team fighting and laning concept. Is having such a large amount of bots in the lower level player base really healthy? 99% of the time i can easily farm ahead of the enemy bots and carry my friend and team to victory, but when i started playing league in season 4 i dont recall seeing many, if any at all in co-op vs ai games, i only remember seeing bots a lot whenever i tried playing the 3v3 map, and for a short while rarely on summoners rift. Should i be reporting all the bots i have on my team? if so what do i report them as? using third party programs and intentionally feeding?

riot's official policy regarding bots is to pretend they don't exist.

they will not post on threads about bots and they will not add a report category for them.

Seems like you hit the nail on the head. Ever since riot took care of the majority of bots in pvp games a long while back they have seemed to have completely forgotten that bots exist

Bots get usually banned in waves to give the persons using them no chance to notice what exactly got them detected. And you can report them using the "scripting" category.

I usually report them for cheating/3rd party software and feeding, then add a line specifying they're farming bots. IDK if Riot actually does anything with those reports though.

Real quick; you realize that since their items are auto bought at specific intervals, bot's can't get fed off of kills right? Also, how do you know they're bots? Maybe they're just super new.

when someone doesnt type, reply or listen to pings and just runs down mid till they die to a tower or enemy champion 10+ times, have 2 cs and are lvl 2 15 minutes in the game they are a bot. Clearly you havent played any co-op vs ai games on a under level 30 account in a long time

I think he's referring to the ones that like auto follow the mid lane the entire game and get slapped down by the turret/enemy bot every 30 secs. I know what he's talking about. If it's say a 15-20 min bot match and all that player has bought is the T1 boots...chances are they're automated.

Exactly. Im assuming players use bots to level up that account to level 30 and a certain ranked then they sell the account to someone.

question is without bots would players have enough team mates at any given time to play vs ai any more with practice mode out..

well it typically takes 0-15 seconds to get 4 out of 5 real players, so it probably only take 15-25 seconds longer.

There is a better way.
