CO-OP Vs. AI overran by Bot Program controlled accounts

I was just in a Co-op vs. AI for my First Win and had three player accounts controlled by a bot program. Normally, I ignore and try and play the game. Unfortunately, the only other player in the match rage quit after dying once, forcing me to 1v5. The result was a loss, but it isn't the loss that got under my skin.

The fact that this is the second Co-op vs. AI IN A ROW I got 3 bot programmed "players"!

What would happen if I was a new player and those first two Co-ops were my first taste of the game? Chances are I'd either A: stop playing the game itself or B: stop playing Co-op and be thrust into PVP with little understanding of the game (which actually happened to me in the past when I was tutored).

I do report the accounts using the bot program. but this can become an issue if not stopped fast. INB4 you ask "I don't get bots" you're among the luck ones.

This is not an issue that can be "stopped", only slowed.

Happens every preseason, a bit worse because of loosing TT.

INB4 you ask ....wait what? you agreed with me?

I actually have that same problem. Some days I like the extra challenge of having teammates that are literally doing nothing. Other times it is quite the hindrance.

OP, I perfectly sympathize with your situation and any newbie players. Its just unfortunate that there is no way for Riot to fix this right away. I really don't know what to say.
