in 8 years of playing, this is the first time i ask this: are bots now going into ranked?

the game i just had... a smite heal yi jungle who went 0/11 and did not even do 4.3k damage in a 30min game.

this guy was BARELY jungling, mainly taking lane farm and EVERY SINGLE DEATH came from him walking down midlane. if you'd watch the replay youd say "yeah 100% bot" cause the behavior is a perfect match. he sees the enemy from a mile away, walks down the lane, stops near the enemy for a second, then instantly q's the enemy and just has a rightclick battle to the death.

if you ignore the parts where he killed jungle camps, then noone would have doubt this guy is a bot.

so i SERIOUSLY ask... are bots playing ranked now?

and no i wont ask/point out that he isnt going to get banned. because theres no point we all know he wont.

ps: first time kayle, got a penta lol. riot nerfed her this patch i read, cant tell they did.

He will get banned if hes a bot, but they ban bots in waves, and botters will always just create new ones. Idk if them in ranked is new. Concidering he also had really good games, i doubt hes a bot https://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/3966636787/1963722978816960?tab=overview look at this

His summoner choices between Normal and Ranked are different. He just hit 30, so it's possible Ranked is a new, intimidating, confusing experience for him. Or it's someone intentionally throwing his placements to get the lowest rank possible. I know people who have done that.
