Bot Programs In-game

Ok, It seems to me that Riot is not doing a good job with the Report players program and need to be elevated to a more hands on approach. I have witnessed a lot of users with weird names in the twisted treeline and all random all mid game modes to where there is these so called AI programs controlling users so they can accumulate free EXP and IP points without having to lift a finger. This is getting out of hand when games are one sided as i just witnessed my girlfriend as she was playing Twisted Treeline and there was an entire team of real players vs her and 2 AI controlled players. And frankly it's putting a sour taste in her mouth as she has been reporting each and every bot programmed AI player she see's. I'm trying to get her to level 30 to be able to play with me and to where we have something fun in common to do but it's putting her off and frankly I'm sick of it. I have spent a lot of money to this company and will gladly spend more for her to have the coolest champion skins and stuff but it's kinda hard seeing this and not notice and recognition like back in the old days with the Summoner Tribunals to where the players had more control and it felt like things are actually getting done!

Please Find a solution to this problem because it's getting way out of hand as she has seen nothing but these bot AI controlled players her entire time and I'm afraid it's not gonna help her get to be a better player and Will Ruin this awesome game which i have come to love as i want her to love it as well.

that's why you don't play Twisted Treeline

I think this needs to be addressed and taken care of. I am this players Girlfriend and would like to see a more clean game to play with actual people. The 3rd party AI programs are infesting the low level players and alot of people like this so they can get free EXP to level up there accounts and Free IP to get stuff. You people who keep voting this down and not really caring about your community are fools and slackers as I like to earn my stuff with hard work and to learn this game better and meet new friends to enjoy this with.Caitlyn

I used to see bots heavily around April-July, then they sent out a banwave and I really didn't see them much. I stopped playing for a while, came back around October and it seems they are back... some of them now don't even use abilities or attack enemy champions the entire game. They will loop between turrets and minions (not attacking) then walk back to allied turret and recall. It's no surprise they end the game with ~1000 damage dealt, while everyone else has well over 20K

Why didn't you make a smurf to play with her? If I bring someone new into the game I always make sure to make a new account and get them to level 15 so they understand the game.

The last month its gotten so bad it isn't worth playing co-op vs AI. There are 2-3-4 autoplay bots every match. My last 3-4 games have had 3-4 bots and I lose the match, get frustrated and log off. Amazing that Riot does nothing about this. I think its time to go back to DOTA or find a new game. Too bad.
