I play quite a lot of aram games ,what got my attention lately were players with no keystone who run in to the middle of the map and keep dying. They do not reply on any messages , and all they do is die, sometimes they do luckily take a kill.
Those players are obviously bots. We meet them more and more often and it is not fun to have them on your team nor is it fun meeting a 4 man enemy team.
Please do something about the bots because it really is a big problem. 
Forced Feed7 votesUnfortunately you have to play a lot of normals or ranked to start seeing less of them in ARAM. It's pretty stupid that if you play ARAM alone you'll still be seeing bots at high level sometimes, they just become less obvious. Instead of all 3 bots turret diving at once they'll play super defensively, to the point of almost being AFK, so they don't really get detected except by the players in the game who can see they're not doing shit all game.
If you play super late at night I still see them though, it's not a small problem. I remember one game had only 4 real players, and 6 bots. It was undeniable as the 3 bots on each team would stay behind turrets unless their human teammates would go past the turret, then all 3 of them would full dive into turret until all 3 of them were dead. This is all they did the whole game, all 6 bots
The Conjured7 votesYup. Then some idiot on my team doesn't realize they are bots and starts blaming me while 2 of our teammates do nothing but run straight into turrets over and over.
Supp Hero6 votesI always get this one bot (in SR not ARAM) who buys 1 pink ward at the beginning and never uses it. It doesn't use skills all game it just autos then usually stands in the middle of 2 enemies until it dies every time.
Zaryelle7 votesI used to get this one ALLLLL the time too. Now I'm always super paranoid when someone buys pink ward first.
Ariel the Cruel1 votesI buy 
all the time when I play mages. (>_>)
Zaryelle1 votesYeah I'm not saying it's a bad item to get first, just that most people I see doing it are actually bots and they never place it. I get it too on support often as one of first items with 1/3 of the gold items, but I usually get flamed for it.
But somehow I'm usually the only one on my team who notices the player who got pink ward at beginning of game and never placed it even 20-30 minutes in the game still has the same pink ward, and they are always the ones who are obvious bots like running into turret when no enemies are even around.
Ariel the Cruel1 votesThat just means LoL hasn't finished eating your brain cells yet. You should really get out while you still have a chance. ;p
Automated Riven1 votesso your saying its like bronze??
BahdHinny1 votesSomething similar to this happened to me back when I first started LoL in early season 5. The game started and the Annie on my team bought boots I think. "She" followed me around through the whole game, would not respond to me or my team, and only used autos, no spells.
Magical Player3 votesYour base mmr for aram is low, as you start climbing the ladder of mmr in aram, you will see alot less "bots"
Roktan11 votesYeah that's really helpful. "Git good and you won't see bots." What if you're just not that good? You're forced to suffer with int feeding bots? I'm fucking sick and tired of this shit. They are so fucking easy to spot that Riot should be able to put in a program oto catch them. If the player is level 30, has no masteries, no runes, no skins and is feeding high number of kills every game, IT'S A BOT!! That's what you should look for. Also, they tend to have the either the teddy bear icon, the icon that Riot's bots use or one of the basic starting ones. Having the barrier spell is also common (few normal players use this in ARAM).
I have reported every single one I've seen and they are still popping up, so I'm doing all I can, now it's own Riot's end. Now some of them are typing in chat, guess what, you aren't fooling me. I _will _ dodge if there's a bot. Period. I shouldn't be forced to play a game where there are bots sabotaging any chance I have of winning or putting up a decent fight in a losing battle. If I get in trouble for dodging games with bots Riot THEN THAT IS BULLSHIT, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND FIX IT. PERMA BAN EVERY ONE THESE FUCKSTICKS THAT ARE RUINING THIS MODE.
Forced Feed7 votesYeah and even the people saying 'they're just new' is asinine. A new player might run into the turret 3-4 times.. but if someones doing it all game they're either a bot or intentionally feeding, either one is reportable.
I used to look up match history of the bots as well, although I don't anymore cause there's too many bots to care about. They'd go scores like 0/10-20/0 with 1200 damage dealt in 10 or more 40 minute games, completely ruining each game they were in.

If you took your time to investigate what riot does before coming here to rage you would know they are doing a fine job at catching bots.
If they sat around just banning bots all day long it would take away too much of their precious time that can be invested elsewhere. That is why they do it in waves and ban them all at the same time.
People will make bots no matter what riot does and they can't stop it. They can just do their best to ban them.
You only need to reach lvl 30 and win a couple of games to get your mmr above bots. If you've been playing for more than a month at least that should be an easy task. If you can't raise your mmr above bots after a month or two you might as well quit league as it obviously isn't for you.
pokomontis3 votesYeah they're doing a great job that's why this topic pops up 3 times a day
Magical Player1 votesYeah they're doing a great job that's why this topic pops up 3 times a day
3 times a day, is not alot. when compared to the millions of league of legends accounts
Zaryelle1 votes3 is a lot when only a very small % of people are on boards and only a very small % would actually post about it, and it's not like they are the same people reposting over and over, a lot of them it's the only reason they even went on boards.
SrbLud1 votesYeah they're doing a great job that's why this topic pops up 3 times a day
Cause there are a lot of players that don't know how the system works. They just get frustrated by bots. Ask them about the bots once their mmr goes up.
Every time i smurf i only see bots for a week...Even then it's only a game or two a day. After that I'm well past the mmr they can achieve.
For new players it's an issue cause they are just learning the game. For smurfs it's a godsend cause i can finish the game fast and be on my way.

I feel some rage in this post, My opinion is still valid. Riot bans bots in waves, as almost all online games I do find it funny you relate skins to botting or not botting
I use barrier in aram, I do piss poor in aram, Ive used the teddy icon in aram before. Guess im a Bot, by definition(and yes i've even gone into arams runeless and mastery-less)
Aerilus2 votesLet me guess, someone accused you of being a bot? Sounds like you are the one raging
Automated Riven1 votesI never talk to anyone in game. Almost ever.
Ariel the Cruel3 votesDon't worry. The more Riot admits they're not paying attention to TT, the more botters will go there. Until they eventually delete it. Then ALL of them will go to ARAM until it gets Dominioned also.
Jeff The Kíller2 votesI noticed most of them take barrier/heal and just run it down mid until they die, its not really fun to have or play against
Yadid1 votesbarrier/heal and one other combination I've seen that I can't remember for the life of me. The take away, though was that there was no flash (a point and click ability), nor is there snowball (skillshot). The lack of these combined with no keystone was a dead giveaway for me on ARAM, which is confirmed when you see their movement pattern. They stand absolutely still a bit behind tower if no one is in front of them. They stand in some sort of average between the all the allies if not in a fight meaning they stand still if the team is still, and adjust according to the vectors of others. Also, never go into the brush. They never go in front of other teammates of their own volition (or code) to avoid inting (getting reported).
Forced Feed1 votesIt used to be ghost heal were always bots, then I started seeing them take other combos like barrier/heal or flash/ignite, and then either never using their summoner spells at all the whole game, or using them at pointless times (like healing right before recalling, or igniting a full hp enemy)
deathgod52 votesPersonally I report them for cheating and intentionally feeding, In the description I write: "Bots". It is probably the fastest way to help them to a ban.
DaNinad1 votesI thought people wanted bots to be available on howling abyss
YordlesBaby1 votesHey there, I agree that bots right now are a huge problem in ARAM
In fact last week I had an Elise who used flash constantly every time it was off cooldown and would heal at full health. There's not that much you can do about this since they're sooo common. Make sure to report every bot you see and always alert the team to the bot.
Signs of botting are:
Misuse of Summoner Spells No use of items No use of abiilities Very little movement constantly dying to turrets
Make sure you don't end up banning a real player for botting by accident.
Hope you find less bots in your games, and good luck [slayer-jinx-wink]
Forced Feed1 votesI'm strongly against punishing people for being unskilled, but if they are doing all these things I see bots doing (in normals), they probably deserved to be punished anyways. I think there's some degree of responsibility for a player to see okay I died 20 times last game and didn't even hit an enemy with my skills.. maybe I should read up a little on how to play or practice in bots.
I'm not talking about people who don't know what to build/how to play certain champs, but I'm talking about blatantly not caring and just rushing head in every time like standing directly under the turret until it kills you, and not using a single spell for an entire game.
Again, I'm talking about normals/ARAM/ranked - if they do this in bots IDC, but it should be kind of obvious that PVP is way harder than bots 9/10 times, and this is strongly a team-dependent game. You should have a fairly decent idea of how this game works before entering PVP, and maybe they should have some kind of warning about that in the client.
Maiyra1 votesTonight my friend played an ARAM and he was the only player. There were 9 bots! He wrote in All-Chat and asked if there's anyone who is not a bot. No response. So he watched their playstyle... well... all of them were ignoring tower shots, heal power ups and other players, they rarely used summoner spells, never ran into a bush and everyone walked the same path over and over again. Also nobody moved until 60 seconds were over. He reported them all. His account is lvl 30, but he didn't play last season, but I am still asking myself what has to happen to an account to drop into this bothole. smh
Forced Feed1 votesDamn, the most I've ever seen is 6 bots 4 players in one game, but it only takes 2 bots to ruin a game.
The 6 bots game was actually fun because each 2 humans used the bots as meatshields basically. We'd all just wait for the bots to go all in turret dive to make our attacks lol. The other team did the same. It was 2 humans 3 bots vs 2 humans 3 bots. It's pretty ridiculous that this would ever happen though.. all the bots had very obvious match histories like going 0/15/4 with only 1000-2000 dmg dealt in many games in a row..
