Bots in bots

I played a bot game today and realized that their were seven (7) bots in the game instead of 5 because I had two on my team. In a pointlessly spiteful fashion, I dragged the game out 50 minutes to watch them and waste time. I am assuming they are farming accounts to be sold fully leveled. Is there a discussion on the subject?

50 minutes and 0 kill participation should hopefully get the account banned.

It's a known issue, but simply not one that's gonna go away any time soon. The f2p model of the game as a whole means that cracking down on bots is a losing game of whack-a-mole, and the integrity of the co-op vs AI mode is infinitely less important to Riot than PvP modes.

I had 3 on my team one night, and all three decided to jungle. It was the only time I was legitimately worried about losing a bot match simply because we were having trouble covering all 3 lanes between the 2 of us.

Be sure to report the accounts. It'll make for one less thread we have here in 6 months where someone was banned for "third party programs" and swears they never used any, but never fesses up to buying the account.
