Riot you should at least let me play against bots
Players that receive 14-day suspensions should be able to at least play against with and against bots. Not Co-op vs. Ai, just bots. Bots on my team and bots on the enemy team.

The point of it is a suspension and punishment.
The point of that punishment is learning that you're punished. No one should be allowed to do anything but learn the consequences of never doing what got you punished ever again.
That's not much of a ban then, is it? Players toxic enough to be banned treat other players like bots instead of human beings anyway, so that's hardly a punishment. If you absolutely need to play, you can always hop on another account. You won't have the same champ availability (or runes, if low level), but the point is that you're being punished for your behavior on your main account.
You already learn you're punished by not being able to play competitively in ranked, with other players in normal games, or your friends. Those players may still want to enjoy the game so they should at least be able to play with and against bots. If you're suspended for the reason of negative attitude or verbal abuse towards teammates/enemies there would be no one for the player to be negative or verbal abusive to in a bot only game. To be reported means you've been a nuisance to players around you so it's understandable that they'd suspend players from games that include actual people but why suspend players from playing against computers. Also, playing with only bots can get boring fast so players most likely wouldn't be living off those bot games. Some under suspension may just stay off and not play the bot games but I believe bot games should still be an option there. (Just a reminder: Just bots. Bots on your team and bots on enemy team, no other players will be able to play with you). Everyone has their own opinions on the situation I understand, but I want to know what Riot thinks.
