Macro bots in Twisted Treeline

This has been an ongoing issue in Twisted Treeline for some time now, and it's really starting to get out of hand. I first started noticing it about 3 months ago and while annoying to begin with, it has bloomed into a full fledged infestation. I honestly cannot remember the last time I que'd into a 3's and there wasn't a "bot" on one of the teams, always with a name like Brianagdf (first name with gibberish before or after), no keystone, and the exact same summoner icon, running it down "mid" and consistently ruining every game of 3's I've played since October.

I report said macro bots after every game, but have never gotten a confirmation that any action has been taken against them, and that's the truly disappointing part. People abusing bot programs, and ruining the game for hundreds, if not thousands, and Riot seems to have taken no action.

So I went on a little search, spamming several years of LoL board content, and while I found many topics addressing this same issue , I can find no official response from Riot on this issue. ??????????????????????????????????????? So can we possibly get a Red post on this issue, and all (if any) steps being taken to rectify it? Because it's starting to feel like if we're not playing Ranked 5's, that Riot really doesn't care.

I'd like to know what to check when I report them, just to get the most amount of attention from riot

i'm not sure if they are a part of league to compensate for low amounts of player playing there or are bots for sale leveling themselves up

Riot is ignoring them because every bot that gets leveled to 30 and sold to someone = one PROJECT: Yasuo or Arcade Riven skin sale.

Download the replay, put a support ticket in for player behaviour.

This shouldn't be reported on boards. It should be reported in game, or directly on their support page IMHO. *

It's happening in Howling Abyss too btw.

*PS sorry not having a go at you, but it should be brought to attention to actual support staff, not the "justice league" or whatever the hell they wanna call it or to the boards, as nothing really will come of it.
