Excessive Botting in games

For the last couple weeks, I noticed that more and more players were sending bots into 3s blind pick. They have no masteries, they will not communicate, they buy without any sense. They face-check and feed almost instantaneously, even going as far as walking into a turret and dying. Even LoL bots are more challenging. Just today, I ended up in a 3s blind pick where I was the only player with 5 bots. This is getting ridiculous. Yes, I could just play ranked to try and get less of these players, but playing normal with a bunch of bots shouldn't be an existing problem. There needs to be a bot check loading into these games or within the game itself. I have reported every time and nothing is changing. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone else have any possible solutions to send to Riot? I understand that if these accounts are banned, the person can just create a new one and do the same thing. So what can we do? Ideas? Please complete the poll. Even a single bot in a game can screw things up and it's truly annoying. Let's try and get this managed better for better gameplay! :)

I don't think you understand what a bot actually is.

"I was the only player with 5 bots" - No, you weren't.

FWIW A bot that is actually a bot would likely beat you.

So those 2 teammates of mine turret diving and healing for no reason weren't new players, who knew :P

What annoys me even more is when we have 1-2 bots on our team constantly turret diving and some (real person) starts blaming me.. like pay attention for a second we have 2 bots on our team who aren't even doing anything just repeatedly diving turret. Always some annoying denier too

It seems like the botting started all of a sudden this week. I haven't experienced it the last week. The games become which ever team have less bots wins or which ever team have a less useless bot (the only type of bot that wasn't a total feeder in my experience is Annie) wins.

I'm pretty sure Riot is going to ignore it because it creates the illusion more people are playing their dying game.
