I originally did not know about bots in aram until another team mate complained and said oh well we have bots on our team. These bots are not really good because they not only feed but also do not help in team fights making games very miserable. I am very curious about whether those bots are actually from riot or from blue essence miners.
They are not exactly blue essence miners, they are mostly account levelers, they sell level 30 accounts too the highest bidder.
They are not a new thing, but they keep coming back every few months when the botters think they found a way to remain undetected in one of the 2 lesser played maps(other one being twisted treeline)
A long time ago I even made a post about it: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/r7TYEftJ-i-wanted-to-find-out-the-amount-of-bots-in-aram-and-co-op-so-i-made-a-smurf
It will never be fully fixed as the bot makers just keep changing the bots so that they don't get caught, but I hope this recent wave of bots get's banned soon.
You can report bots, it's called 3rd party programs in the report box. Also calling someone out for being a bot wont always work, as sometimes they actually have someone at the computer watching, and they then speak up when you mention it so they "don't get caught." or they turn off the bot and actually play themself.
Someone actually went through an aram with everyone but him a bot. Any that was low stood on the health pack, because they were programmed to if they were low.
Also, Riot bans in waves to prevent botters from knowing what exactly gets them detected.
You will never be able to fully get rid of bots. If it was possible, pretty sure WoW and any other high-up their money-only mmo would be bottless by now.
