Whats the big deal?

So I am sure almost everyone has heard about the counter jungle lane pushing Singed player with 53% win ratio.

This discussion isn't about that. This is about all the bots in ARAM, and why Riot is choosing to threaten and punish a person for playing the game his own way, instead of dealing with all these people botting. ARAM is full of them, it is even more obvious when they play tank characters, stay in the back moving almost perfectly in sync with each other. People say Singed is ruining their play experience. I say Riot is being blind to serious issues, and is ruining my game experience. Sure there is no ranked ARAM, but blindly allow botting using 3rd party programs in any means should be subject to IP ban.

To my surprise, with a quick google search. This has been a problem since 2013. 3 coming on 4 years of the same issue is pure negligence. One season some guy does a non-meta way of winning, (53% = more help than hurt). But to ignore the same problem for almost 4 years now, is WAY beyond one Singed. So how will Riot deal with its own game ruining?

Please add your videos of bots to this channel, and show your support to this growing bot cancer.

I'd take bots in my arams games, which I play to not stress, than a Singed support in my ranked game. I don't care what his winrate is. Because if that evemy botlane is smart they're either going to go in on me as hard as they can or keep me away from cs and exp.

Riot's been upgrading their anti-bot detection systems for years. Unfortunately, botters have been upgrading their bots as well. The number of bots alternates between decreasing (as Riot sends out a ban-wave) and growing (as botters push out a new patch). The quickest solution might be to just revert the custom game XP/IP changes, since bots mostly stayed away from PvP and Co-Op games before then. However, that might be seen as a "victory" for botters.
