Solving The Bot Problem

So I have played League for a real long time. Since almost beta. I have been a 3s player ever since I started and I still am to this day. Riot, i get you dont care about 3s, but we your players do. So when you get matched 1v3 because your teammates are bots or 1v1 and see who can get fed faster, or even one time we were 3 vs all bots, the play experience goes right into the ground. If I wanted to fight bots I would play Co-op vs Ai. Now i get your busy with the 10,000th Caitlyn skin, but could you take 5 minutes to fix it? Its real simple. Make a captcha when you queue up for 3s. That would pretty much eliminate the bot problem. Personally i wouldn't mind doing a captcha pregame so I have 0 bots. It wouldnt be hard to implement and would take like a day of 3 employees programming. I get cracking down on the programs is useless, as more would pop up. But just please, something this simple could make a huge difference. Sorry if I sound angry, I am just a passionate fella. Sincerely, A Loyal Fan.

PS if you think "just play ranked" is a solution, its not. If you want to play a new champ and dont wanna lose Elo, then you can go casual queue. I should be allowed also.

seriously dont think this will work as if there was a captcha before/during champ select or on the loading screen that would cause a game to cease if there was a bot, NO GAMES in low elo or levelling would ever start due to the shear amount of bots that there are.....

I refuse to spend any money of this game for this same reason. I only play the 3v3 because summoners rift is way too time consuming. Just give us a draft option so we can control for bots please! The bots are ruining the game experience so much that I'm thinking about uninstalling and switching to Dota 2 or another similar game. There's plenty of other options out there.

Easy solution, just add an option when you make a new account to bypass waiting for level 30. Kill the demand kill the supply, just let the smurfs make their smurf accounts. Could be like when you have to select how experienced you are at the game and have a smurf account option and let that bypass waiting till level 30. Of course add a tool tip explaining what smurf account means so newbies don't select it out of ignorance
