Make a Anti-Third Party Program/BOT Option PLEASE

Player VS AI & Normal Blind Pick Game Modes are plagued by these players and it's really annoying. Before anyone tells me how I need to get to 30 and play Ranked, consider all the new players coming into the game and being turned off to continue playing because of these other harmful players, and the horrible experiences that follow them. Everyone knows them when they see them, they always have the starting Summoner Icon, pick the worst Spells, move only after minions spawn, and their level of intelligence is akin to Beginner AI.

I would suggest an option for these modes similar to surrender but require inputting text because we all also know they never talk.

Riot does ban 3rd party programs. They normally happen in waves so that the botters don't know what Riot detected.

There also is normally a die down period (after a ban wave) and then the botters come up with a new program and Riot can only catch up.

They are aware of the problem, we just have to be patient with the fix.

Should still make an in-game option for players. I AFK'ed on a team of bots earlier and got punished for it, now that's disheartening.
