Player vs AI... my team always have 2-3 bots minimum.

Anyone else notice this? Seems like every time I queue for BOT mode, I get two or three automated players (Names are typically random lower, upper case and make no sense.. like "JoSFAnra". Will reporting them actually do anything? They typically go 0/15 every game, walk into random lanes and die to turrets. I'm assuming there must be a lot of accounts that are being farmed for XP and to be sold. And it is on a large scale because every AI game I join have them.

Reporting them does work. They only get banned in waves, however.

they are here because of treeline's removal.

treeline players have been warning riot about this for months, they didn't listen.

That doesn't really have anything to do with it considering OP is level 9. Doesn't matter what queue they go into be it Co-op vs. AI, ARAM, TT, or norms, there's a high chance the match would include at least one bot regardless.

Also, nobody has ever denied the existence of TT's botting issue. But it's not as simple as instantly banning them the second they're detected, that would actually hurt more than help. Even if TT was left in place, all that means is the game mode would remain dead and filled to the brim with bots which is obviously not something Riot wants.

while it is true there is always the chance for bots in every gamemode, for someone to see 2-3 bots in a single is excessive. vs Ai games also does not seen to have an MMR or similar system in place to place people of equal skill / level together, which means the the OP's level being only 9 doesn't really mattter. (i have been placed with people higher than plat before as well as people with multiple hundreds of levels)

simply said this situation is unacceptable, we knew there was going to be a wave of bots coming to ARAM and SR after the treeline removal, but to see 2-3 bots potentially per game???. Riot will need to start fixing this soon, getting only bots as teammates is sure to dissuade newer players form actually playing league for more than 10 hours maximum.

Nah they’ve been in coop on summoners rift forever. Ive seen more bots in coop on summoners rift than Ive ever seen in any twisted treeline game(normal or coop)

I usually get First Win of the day by playing coop vs AI games. There are always bots in coop vs AI games. They usually bring ghost and heal, and they randomly walk into other lane and dying. 1 bot is alright because the other 4 players can always carry. But the amount of bots after twisted treeline being removed is so horribly too much. Every vs AI game I get at least 3 bots right now. I watched the match history of some bots account. There are only 1 real human in each game (sometimes 0), and most of the new players within these games lost. This is a really frustrating experience for new players IMO, hope Riot can ban all these bot accounts.
