I don't know where to post this, but I am VERY ANGRY right now (Twisted Treeline Queue is broken)

I really don't know where to post this bullshit, because I don't see how this issue fits in ANY of the boards provided, so I will post it here, hope someone will read this, because this is a total disaster.

There are bots being matched up into games on Twisted Treeline. Two games in a row I was matched up with some bullshit bots, in PVP 3v3 games. Not in-game bots, just bot accounts. How do I know that?

Well, just to state something you can find out by yourself by clicking on my profile, I am lvl 30 player. I haven't played ranked in a while, but I've been playing normals consistently for the past two weeks, and I've been matched up normally, until today. In the first game, I had two "real" players in my team, and, as I found out later, three bots in enemy team. It was 3 clearly 30lvl players with all masteries and club tags versus 3 champs that have nothing. Is this the new matchup algorithm? I think not.

And they behave just like very stupidly programmed bots. Staying on 0% loading progress for a minute, in the loading screen. No interaction in chat. Total absence of logical behavior - casting abilities into nothing, casting summoner spells by cooldown, blindly walking forward without any pattern. And all nicknames are generated by the template <name> + <random letters>, for example: "ThomasVhjFs", "HgfFtSam", "CaiAOGreg" etc.

in the second game I matched up "2 bots + me" vs "2 bots + player". And same behavior - generated nicknames, random picks, random casts, and no pattern to the actions whatsoever.

Please, people, upvote this thread, because this shit is fucked up. We need Riot to pay attention to this, because people are matched up against not even bots, but just stupid dummies, in a normal queue! What if this transitions into SR? I din't check if it was already there, but I guess if it was, there would be reports by now.

Please, TT is broken, get Riots attention to this NOW.

UPD I will go into another TT match torture right now and try to attach a replay.

Riot knows that Twisted is busted. But they won't really do a thing about it because Twisted isn't popular in comparison to Summoner's Rift, or even ARAM, which was originally a joke gametype. Riot isn't going to do a thing to Twisted unless the community really wants it, and the community doesn't really even think Twisted exists from time to time. It could be a running joke, or serious.

As long as the leveling process, perma banning of players, and the accumulation of IP required to be competitive exists, there will always be bots in league of legends.
