There are a lot of bots playing against COOP Ai

I don't like to report player playing against bots, because they may be new to the game. However, in the last 10 games I played majority or all the players on my team are bots. They all have unique name so that's roughly 30-40 bots just base on my encounter alone.

I am getting 20-40 kill rate while bot teammate only has 0-2 kills. (No way I am that good with human teammate). This gets frustrating when I am playing a champion that cannot single handily destroy everything come in it's way. The bot teammate not being smart, kept feeding enemy AI or tower diving, so I am not that over power against the enemy AI. I constantly have to jump between line to defend the tower, because bot teammate keep on dying. Signal them to defend the nexus does absolutely nothing. In last 3 games I lost, because as soon I die there is no defense at all.

Their name usually contain random letters mixed case follow by English name, or English name first than mixed case random letters. English name will capitalize on the first letter. You can look at my Match History to see the pattern on the naming convention.

I hope they aren't queuing up for 5v5, because that would ruin a lot of games. The only guess I have is they are bot leveling account 24/7 and selling the account with champion and skin unlocked for money.

Yeah, they are super common in Coop VS AI, it kinda ruins the mode for me. I queue for that when I want a completely stress-free LoL experience with a champ I chose, but these bots are making it frustrating. When it's just one bot in your team its usually ok, the rest can carry, but when you get 2 bots its getting hard, and 3 bots ?

I don't get why they make them so bad though. Why do they have to just mindlessly feed ? Couldn't they just hug turrets or something at least ?

You're right about leveling them to sell them. It's been like this for as long as I can remember, and I'm not sure there's a way Riot can end it. I'd just report them when you see them. They always have the name, like you said, and they always take the same summoner spells, heal and ghost iirc.

It's not just Coop games. I had a blind pick where I was the only human player vs 4 humans and a bot with the next game being 3v3.

I agree this is stupid and while I have seen bots in Coop vs AI games they were few and far between. But the last few days I have been in a lot of games where its me and maybe 1 - 2 other actual humans. It sucks because if I play a champ that can't carry....lets say Janna support, then guess what its a loss. It makes the mode unplayable and its mostly because of the large amount of bots appearing.

Its because Riot pushed the punishement system into too much severity, that many people who got permabanned are looking for easy convenient way to come back to the game without grinding hours to get to level 30. And there are sellers who realize there are a huge demand for level 30 accounts so they are flooding the market with botted accounts. Which explains why there are so many bots in Coop Ai and Aram games. Riot's statistics of 0.006 permabanned players is a lie .

Apart from playing some supports you should still be able to carry the match relatively easily. Just cheese the enemy bots and get fed early on and then you can run through everything with relative ease. The bots on your team feeding actually helps you because it resets the enemy bot's kill gold so you can still kill them repeatedly while gaining the same amount of gold

Tl;dr: bring back Twisted Treeline if you can't solve the script farming issue.

At least give new players somewhere to practice their skills and get familiar with the game, with matching to the real experienced players.

I've been leveling my alt in COOP vs AI intermediate. I have been a newbie, so I know and am willing to help new players with my best effort. Honor 5 tells all.

Sadly, it is almost impossible for them to match with some experienced players who DO care about them, if they aren't playing with their friends.

Probably this can be the incentive to cut down EVEN MORE cost on marketing for you Riot. I'm not joking. Play an intermediate game VS AI and you will know what I am saying--the farming bots troll EVERY LANE by following a random teammate every a few minutes. New players playing by themsevles? [sg-miss-fortune] Old players are getting old. They don't play forever.
