Sorry new at posting if this has been answered before (but I can't find it), but is riot that crappy of a company to allow bots..or just lazy in policing their product? I really Thought Wow and a few other games were bad, but after 10 ARAM and six teams of only being one human player (me) and the rest of my team being bots I have to ask)

Botting is illegal and will result in them being permabanned so make sure you report it (Cheating), but since League accounts are free, bots can be made in mass amounts so there will always be more and a lot of them. They just need some time to get banned; bots are banned in waves to prevent the users learning how they got caught and improving their methods, so it may take a week or two at times before a detected bot is actually removed. It's unfortunate but there's not much to do in that regard.

However, at higher levels and MMR the bots go away because they don't last long and can't win much. You'll eventually not see them ever again.

Yeah, botting is against the terms of service in League and accounts found will be banned. Unfortunately though it does take them quite a bit of time as there are a pretty wide amount of bots out there.
