Bots in Dominion

I had taken a break from League and I came back a little while ago. Things were exactly as I had remembered them except for the hud, but for the past few weeks now I've been seeing bots. They have no masteries, act strangely, and always feed excessively. The ones I've been seeing tend to have human usernames followed by a few letters and numbers (for example samanthagt321 or seanzd1). Upon researching the issue, apparently it's not as bad now as it was a year ago with 5+ bots showing up at once. However, I just had the same bot show up on my team 4 games in a row. I report them every time I see them regardless of which team they're on, but this is getting grating. There's always the occasional leaver that ruins Dominion games, now there's bots, too?

I know the majority of the community doesn't really care about Dominion, but it gets disheartening if Riot doesn't either.

I'm completely serious and wholehearted when I ask this question: what solution(s) would you propose that would solve this problem?

No itś true i never lose TT or CS bc the opposing team, and usually the others on MY team, are just wlaking into death wiht no masteries, no runes, no items, no farm, etc. Itś relly wierd, ad boring af.

ive played dominion twice on my smurf in the past month. 1st match i was the only human player. 2Nd match there was me and 1 other guy that were human. My smurf is not lvl 30 yet so maybe thats why, but from a low levels perspective dominion is nothing but bots.

This is a serious issue. Dominion is unplayable, because in every game there are bots. They are easy to identify, since they usually pick heal and ghost as their summoner spells, and instalock early at champion select. I have been reporting them every time, but nothing happens. It has come to an absurd situation where there were only 2 human players in a game, me included.

There should be a serious penalty to players that use bots to farm xp and IP for smurf accounts. This is spoiling the fun for serious dominion players.

Ive been in a game or two with a bot in TT. Never played Dom yet but from the sounds of it if the bots are programmed to play specifically Dom, remove it from the game and re-add it or something along those lines to screw with their programming. If there are thousands or millions of bots doing this then itd be a pain for someone to fix it for each and every bot.
