The Problem With Co-Op Vs. AI These Days

I'm no pro at the game. I don't and won't claim to be. I'm not level 30. I'm just an average player, slowly grinding to level 30 by fighting those bots with some friends. Sometimes we don't have parties of five. Sometimes we play with random strangers. Sometimes those strangers are great, sometimes they suck, and sometimes they just irk you.

But most of the time? They're bots.

You know the ones - the people using third-party programs to lazily boost an account to end level with no input, with the idea, probably, to sell the account for real money. The kind we report as vehemently as we can, but nothing is EVER done about them.

Usually, it's not so bad. You might find one. You carry it, and then you report it, along with hopefully the other three humans.

But... I just got out of a game with TWO. And a friend of mine barely pulled off winning a game with THREE.

Salty, raging players aren't the problem with League. Petty arguments in PvP aren't the problem with League. It's those bots that are the problem. They make it nearly impossible for those of us who enjoy a little Co-op to actually enjoy the game.

I wish I had an idea that could help quell the bot uprising, as their number seems to be increasing more and more as I play the game every day. But I don't. So I make this thread, in the hopes that other people can come up with ideas, and that someone working on the game, or helping with it, will see those ideas, and maybe implement one or two to stop this madness.
