Three summoner leveling bots in one AI game

My wife doesn't like to play vs people, so when she gets the urge to play, we hop into an Intermediate vs AI game and smash some computer players. We've become accustomed to picking up the slack for one (maybe two) summoner leveling bots in each game. I was just noting that we hadn't seen any leveling bots in a while, when BAM we get three in this one match.

We reported all three for cheating.

Anyone else have match history they can share?

An unfortunate side effect of the new leveling system is that botters now have a reason to level beyond 30, and screw up games for long time players, while before they just messed with people making second accounts and new players. I've seen a couple of them too.

Really hoping riot bumps up their policy for bot banning. i know they do them in waves to make it harder for botters to figure out what gets them caught, but it still sucks playing with them.

I had a bots game the other day that seemed to have one genuine noob, one int feeder, and two bots on my team.

I had to essentially 1v9 the game, on a champ and role that I was unaccustomed to. Kinda a fun challenge, actually,

I've had actual PVP games where my whole team and the enemy team were bots.. So it happens all over this game at times (especially in Twisted Treeline or ARAM).

I know the feeling... I have been all alone on the rift before. TT

I do have a bit of an idea/advice;

Report them for cheating and add "Leveling bot" into the description
Save the names and link to the match history in a notepad/word document. Try to keep it organized
Hit a critical mass or have a few spare minutes? Send in a support ticket with the document attached... I believe "Other" will do fine.

This may seem like a bit of work, but every little bit helps right? I used to do this when I was playing bot matches more often. They do get around to banning the botters, but do so in waves to make it harder for them to learn why they got caught, reporting gets them on the watch list, which is enough.

PS. If you want, you can add me and when you queue for bot games, and I am around/up for it, I could add +1 to the "not a bot" count [sg-ahri-2]

low level aram I was once the only human on my team and there was one human on the other team.

riot seems unwilling or unable to stop these bots. I would bet there are thousands of games going on right now at super low mmr with no human in them at all. just 5v5 bot vs bot with no one in the game to report them.

EUW is plagued with those bots, at least 2 every game. and already known bots pop up over and over. does riot get a share of the account sellers or just dont care about this issue?
