Jungle Teemo afk trick

Sometimes, when I play coop vs IA games, I find players using the afk Teemo trick. Is the system able to detect them as afk if I report them? Are they punished in the end? I'd like to have these questions answered by Riot Games.

why do you care if someone is afk in a bot game

It prolongs the duration of the game. Also, being afk is a reportable offence.

a lot of people play bots for a quick 15-20 min game to get the first win of the day bonus which and when someone afks it usually adds another 5-10 mins to the game. This afk jungler trick marks the person as "active" because they are damaging the jg monsters, and a person that is "active" cant be disconnected which means that said person will still recieve the ip/xp from winning the game even though they sat in one spot the entire game

If you read what I wrote:

adds another 5-10 mins to the game.

Then I'm sure you were able to figure out that the people having their time wasted would be the ones who cared.

Report them, and type what they're doing.

Riot saves the position of players at least every minute, as developers can get the position of players every minute of the game. Riot may have more details available internally. If someone is in the exact same spot two minutes back to back, then it's pretty certain they've been AFK.

What is the point of doing this, exactly...? What is the benefit of going afk during Co-oP vs AI and getting xp from raptors every few minutes...?

The point is to stay afk and let other people play and win the game for you.

This afk jungler trick makes the game think that the person as "active" because they have item 3751 which is damaging the jg monsters, and a person that is "active" cant be disconnected which means that said person will still recieve the ip/xp from winning the game even though they were clearly afk the entire game. These people are cheating the system to get a small amount of ip/xp for almost no effort.

Report them. Riot will determine whether it is punishable or not.

its just a AI game :p tho are really easy to play even when someone is afk, but by all means report

Sure, they are. That's not the problem. The problem is that these players do absolutely nothing for the team, thus leaving the others play the game for them and making the game last longer. If you add the possibility to have botting account on your team (like in this case), games last even longer!
