What's with the script/bot influx? Are measures being taken to prevent this?

In 3's right now it's impossible to get a full human team, and Summoner's is still iffy. What's going on?

Is reporting these bots for cheating the best option to reporting them? How are "cheating" reports handled? Is it possible to monitor for bots?

Any feedback would be nice, I hate being limited to just play draft pick on summoners.

Don't think you can actually "prevent" scripters.

They'll always find new ways to script, and Riot can only play catch up.

Yup, report for cheating and write in the box that you think it's a bot and why. They do monitor and ban bots in waves. The problem is that the bot-users adapt so they need to constantly improve/change their detection methods, creating alternating times with lots and few bots depending on who is ahead of the curve at that moment. The 3s bots are numerous right now; they know it's frustrating people.
