There should be a hidden bit queue

Since banning bots instantly would just turn into a bot code arm race, I think that once bots are id'd they should be slowly transitioned over to a hidden q with just other bots. First a 1 game in 5, then 4, and so on until every game is 10 bots. A prisoners island of our nonhuman player base. Leave able if the player plays even like, 3 games in a row of nonbot behavior.

Riot doesn't take part in the arms race and can still ban wave the bots, botters still get their accounts up to sell, buyers still get banned in the wave, and normal players don't have to deal with the shit fest.

Edit: system apparently already in place, as per DerMangoJoghurt's helpful comment. Thread reduced to useful reading and/or waffle discussion.

So...you want Riot to pour resources into hiding the bots instead of banning them outright? How about no.

I think that's already the case. I don't remember the source, but I'm pretty certain that I read that somewhere.

It is an interesting idea, but you may as well just attach an mmr at that point.

Waffles, because they come with built in syrup cup holders.
