3rd party program infestation

What is being done about this? Ever since you guys shut down Dominion summoner's rift co-op is infested with these bots. It is worse than bg bots in WoW. I report them every game but I will see them again and again.

How do I know they are bots? Well, their same pathing, going mid lane and feeding into tower. Bots running on top of each other. Doesn't use any spells. Walks back to inner tower or even inhibitor from lane to recall instead of doing it under tower or bush like any normal person. Names like 2342cdketas

Why am I crying on the forums? Well it happened, me and 4 bots. 3 of which were in mid walking on each other. One was top and got executed then went to walk back to base instead of recall and got stuck on some infinite loop of him recalling / canceling recall. All but one had 2dfk289df8 gibberish for a name.

Why do I play bot games? I work outdoors running my own business, then come home and do an hour or so of paper work and quickbooks. I cant get my mind focused to play with people, I just feel exhausted. On the weekends I play with people and am ranked gold 5. I just want relaxing IP farm bot games during the week but its so freaking boring to play with these bots on my team. No chatting, no pings, no anything.

Worst part? If you see a bot and call it out a common response is 'so?' 'we are still winning'. Really, no crap we are winning I can 1v5 these bots with my eyes closed, and so can most people. It makes me just want to stop playing during the week. But i typically only play 1 game so it would probably be the end of my league career.

TL:DR

This plague is especially common in into and beginner bots. I go in there thinking I can help out some newer players and bam, I'm carrying a team of 3 bots and one real player to more free IP and XP for the farmers. Ugh.

You know I ran into this problem more then once but the real problem is when people use 3rd party programs to get an edge on everyone else and it happens more then you know... quite annoying too...

I haven't seen a bot talk. Some bots are crazy though, they follow you and follow you and follow... I recall, they recall I tp to run away from them they walk to me it's creepy as f... or they could be premade trolls streaming me getting trolled.

I bot my ass off, with mostly 3-5 accounts at a time. However I dont know what kind of bots you are running into my bot checks lanes and fills for 1/1/1/2 most of the time starting from bottom lane and working up to fill jungle being last priority. It doesnt suicide into turrets they just play the game on the back line skills work with ryze ashe cait cassio and kalista... I really dont see why you care if they are bots. chances are my bots play better than the beginers people are trying to help out. Doesnt have best team fight logic so they stick to split pushing and avoiding anything involving more than 3 players on each team or more... Why do my bots make a big deal to you, I mostly have been using the code I've found and put together to have them function as more of a hobby than anything. Don't sell the accounts hardly use them after they hit cap. I've seen a few of them banned but tbh I just kinda make a new account and try to figure out why it was banned and then get around it... Bash all you want, I'll still bot accounts on normal and intermediate level bots.

This wasn't that big of a concern in the past because no one cared about what happened in dominion, twisted treeline, and howling abyss. Now that dominion's taken out bots flow into other maps and more ppl start to care. Last night I played intermediate bot match for my 1st win of the year, and got my nasus to 2k stacks cuz them bots feeding and I totally can't end the game yo.
