If I don't notice that I'm queing into a co-op vs ai game with 4 bots, can I leave the game?

I didnt notice and I don't want a lower priority queue strike, because technically im not ruining the game for anyone! This happens at least 1 in 5 games! I dodge most but fuck how many times in a row do i have to wait 15 minutes to play because riot gives 0 fucks about bots and scripts unless your diamond?

It is against Riot's policy to allow leaving any game for any reason. You will be hit with Leaverbuster penalties if you do it too often. This is because queuing up is not an agreement with the other players, but it is an agreement with Riot that you will play the full duration of the game, try to win, and not fall afoul of any other regulation (like harassing people).

On a different note, leaving those games may count you with a loss, causing a reduction in MMR. The only other players that also lose games against the AI are bots. This will cause you to encounter more bots as you will be matchmade together.

Bots are banned in waves to reduce iteration.

Also, banning a bot when it's level 1 will not harm the bot maker. They'll just make another account. If bots are banned 6 months after they're sold, then the buyers will be less likely to buy another, hurting the bot maker's bottom line. If the bot is banned after it hits level 30 and has farmed a decent amount of IP, before it's sold, then the bot maker is out the time and electricity.

It could ruin someones game who is playing coop vs ai.

It is a matchmade mode. Here is an idea. Actually look at what you are queueing for.
