low level botting is out of control

i'm trying to level a new account and 95% of the games i play now have bots in them

i don't like playing normals against new players so i mostly play intermediate bots and ARAMs and it's literally 1v5 every single game

as an experienced player sure, i can win against the bots, but it's so fucking frustrating. i don't want to be the only player on my team, i want to help new players, give friendly advice, talk to people, and have a good game. i don't want to deal with 4 idiots running down mid and going "Gj" and "Frozen" and other automated messages every time they die

fuck botters

i am actualy glad its happening thats explain why riot does not provide us with numbers of new players because there is no new players only smurfs and bots.

It is annoying and I agree 100%. Tried to swtich to ARAM and always got bots on my team as well. Sucks because I like to play bot games to learn a champ I suck on and 1v5, you can't do that.. Especially when the 4 bots on your team are feeding the hell out of the opponent bots making it that much harder to carry.. Hella lame but riot seems to do nothing to combat this. I always report but never got a message anything had been done so guessing nothing was ever done about the 100's I reported at least. :(

How have I never run into a single one? Am I just the lucky one? I'm not trying to discount people's experiences, because I know there are people botting, I'm just curious. Am I doing something different, or am I just lucky?

This is a thing in EUW too. But they are even in Beginner difficulty.

Yeah I just had 4 or so games in a row with a bot in every one. 2/4 of them would just follow a player, not use spells, then turret dive until death. Looking on their match history you can see they went like 0/10 - 0/20 every game for 10+ games in a row. And yes most of them used heal ghost, and used the predefined dictionary: "Push,wtf, help, Frozen, mid". Some of them even ping "on my way" but it's obvious cause they always ping in the exact same spot next to a turret

At least it's not as annoying unlike some games like Tibia, where it's really big problem.
