Do you know this player type?

  1. May or may not have come from a loss in a ranked game - usually from a higher rank.
  2. Often plays bot games - usually to get his first win of the day.
  3. Enters a bot game and plays a champions like Katarina, Vayne, Yasuo or some other FotM currently believed to be overpowered, then does any number of the following things:

a) Proceeds to zoom around the Rift eating up minions and bot champions. b) Belittles and/or puts down all the other players as being bronze or losers. c) Brags about his achievements. d) Ruins the fun of the game for all others who are there to practice their skills and/or earn IP. e) May enter a lane, and proceeds to farm by waiting for other players to hit minions then steal their last hits.

4.Finally, at the end of the game, said player type either leaves without offering a "gg" or thanking his teammates (for putting up with them).

Seem to have been seeing these nearly as much as the bot/IP farmers lately. :|

I do a non-douchey version of this sometimes for stress relief. I'll take Darius to a bots game and try to get a penta. It can be fun. I don't go out of my way to ruin the experience for others, beyond possibly ending the game in 15-minutes in a 1v5. It's hard to feel bad about it when most of my "teammates" seem to be auto-farmers anyway.

When I go to bot games, it's to get first win asap. I will end the game as fast as possible. This means it's going to end in anywhere from 14-20 minutes depending on which champ I picked. I don't see the issue?

No. Now that they removed first win I don't see bot-anything.

You can't blame players for playing the game, it's Riot's responsibility to fix these problems with matchmaking adjustments and removing the incentive to smurf, but they won't because they don't care about new players.
