XP farming bots ruin the game for new players

i've seen so many players struggle in intro bot games due to the XP farming bots inting, I've reported so many of them but it wouldn't work properly without a ticket, as not everyone is interested in reporting them/not noticing the patterns on these bots.

the bot patterns started simple, they'd walk up to the first/second turrets, walk with minions to the enemy turrets, they would die or get executed, then they'd go into random lanes.

then it started changing because those patterns were too easy to notice, I've seen them roam around between two camps in the jungle, nearly die to them or actually die then repeat, along other patterns of walking it down mid till the enemy fountain or just doing shit a normal player wouldn't do.

those new players struggle because these bots can feed beginner and intermediate difficulty bots, as they are too difficult on newbies when fed. hell, do u guys remember the mission where u lose a bot game as a 5 premade for fun? we took it to intermediate, fed the ryze two pentakills and then attempted killing him. he was very difficult to kill as embarrassing as that sounds.

but i'm not seeing much of a difference, i tried out a few botgames on different accounts to check out if there are bots and you'd get a minimum of 1 bot in there up to around 3-4. (most commonly, 2)

riot, please, do something about this.

Its very easy to tell they're bots based off of their names. The bots you describe have names starting with a few random letters/numbers and then a word/name. Apparently Riot bans these bots in waves, but realistically they will never go away.

Oh yeah, for sure, I made a new account just to try out some champions I was interested in (and loved. I play them to this day, as bad as I am) and I played with ONE human in ten games. The bots all went to the edge of the base, sat there, the sona always uses her W sitting there. When the enemy bots spawn (intro) they begin mpving as one unit. They run it under turret, some of them CS, but after their first death the bots then go to other lanes, rinse and repeat
