Increase in Bots

I've seen a lot of bots in ARAM and Co op vs AI lately with increased 'fake player' ai. They play just as badly as the old bots, except a lot of them they won't attack enemy champions at all. They used to say 'Gj' 'Frozen' and 2-3 other words, but now they will call lane and say gg at the end. i just saw one who went 0/0/0 in multiple games and i can see why, they just stand behind turret and attack minions, never attempting to attack the enemy champ. Some of them will spam ping fall back if you go in 'their' lane but they won't ever attack enemy champs.

I suppose it's slightly better than the old bots who would turret dive constantly going 0/20/0 and say 'Gj' or 'Frozen' every time they died, except they aren't contributing to the game at all either, they just farm minions and avoid all contact with enemy champions. if you go in lane to help them 9/10 times they will walk back behind turret/minions and not react to anything at all.

I will admit they are learning. But it does suck that we are still filled with bots. It's not fair to new players nor people who might be learning things via vs ai. It's not fair to ARAM users because you basically need everyone to be playing/contributing in order to win. I mean the same can be said with other modes as well, but ARAM seems to be the most unforgiving about that!

With that said the most we can do as players is to help Riot with reporting them. Riot can only do so much with their detection, and when they evolve I assume it's much harder for the detections to find them when they improve the programs!

Ya now I see them say WTF after they die sometimes. Also they'll randomly throw out a "Push" when they aren't pushing at all. Threw me off at first cuz I was like oh wow maybe there is a human in this match with me but no, it was definitely a bot.
