Too many AI's in Beginner Bots

Like seriously, wtf is this? I've been getting at least one person who literally runs it down mid every single game nonstop feeding the mid laner in beginner bots. I'm new to league, and I can't even properly play. Today, I literally was the only person playing in the game, and all 4 of my teammates were running it down mid. Why do so many people do this, and why aren't these people banned?

If you reported them after the game, then that's all you need to do. I would suggest taking down the screenshot as Name and Shame is against the Universal Board Rules.

It's exceptionally unlucky that you had this happen, but those are accounts that are being run by botting programs. These accounts get banned in waves to prevent them from understanding how they're getting detected.

Whenever you create an account select the second option not the first one (I believe it says beginner, medium and veteran or something like that). If you select veteran you will be matched against mostly smurfs and if you select begginer is mostly self leveling accounts. Is a know problem so you just have to go and select the mid one for a balanced experience

Be prepared: This will happen even if you are well beyond lv 30. With Quests to do, there is nothing better than getting 9 Bots in Aram Matches

Hi Athens Aegis,

Like others said, we don't allow naming and shaming on the boards, regardless of evidence. I've removed your pictures showing the names of the other players.

Riot does ban people who bot, as you keep leveling, you'll see less and less. Right now, you're low enough level that a lot of fresh accounts made for botting haven't been flagged/banned yet, as they may only be hours old. You can help by reporting them, and know that it will get better!

I posted a thread about this today too.
