Player BOTs in COOP games

So I've being noticing a new trend in coop games, players are using BOTs.

They are fairly easy to spot, they go mid walk until they hit something, when below 80% health they return half way to the nexus before porting back the rest of the way.

They die several times, don't use all their skills and if someone else pushes the lane and they die in the enemy base they type "WTF" to not appear as BOTs...

They never type anything else, they never buy more then a couple items and at least one was someone dual boxing.

I asked a 0-7-0 Zed if he wanted to switch lane with my Brand and another player said that yes, Zed will change lanes, then Zed did the same thing in the bot lane.

Is this allowed or considered "okay" in coop games, or should I start reporting?

report them. it's better to get them off the game than risk seing them again in ARAM and Twisted Treeline at a later date.

That's annoying. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

I've seen 7 Brand bots in 7 co-op versus AI games in a row. They all did exactly as you described, except for one that never typed "WTF" when I ganked his (mid) lane as Nidalee jungle. Instead, this last particular Brand said "Frozen" twice at random points throughout the match after they died.

I have absolutely no idea if that's the bot writer pointing fun at the Disney movie or just what, but the coop vs AI bots need to stop. I wholly support the original poster.

Oh and did I mention that the only reason I'm here witching about it is because these Brand feeders have lost me FOUR bot matches? I've had to revert to playing against Beginner level bots so it's literally impossible for feeders/bots to disrupt my game. Even as a Nidalee, I simply am not good enough - or smart enough - to solo hyper carry against fed intermediate bots. -,-

Report as "Cheating".Apparently third party programs to level to 30 without playing. Its annoying af, esp when there isnt only one but sometimes 3-4 "Player Bots".
