Summoners using bots on PvB

I wanna ask, or rather mention, about something that I personally find very annoying: The sudden appearance of auto bots on PvB. It may not sound like much at first, I mean 'Is only bots, LoL!' But is very annoying since they take a lane regardless of who ask for it or not, only charge in to die and have less self persrvation that the robots from I-Robot (movie).

Again, some will say is nothing to serious, to which I say: have you tried to train mid only for a bot to take the lane and do nothing but feed? Or better yet, how about a game with only two humans? The enemy bots will be OP before the 20 min mark, not to mention that there will be no chance to FF since only two persons are able to vote. It makes practising almost impossible, not to mention the ones who do this only click pley and leave.

Riot, will you do something about it? Thanks for your time, and please do something about it.

Nothing they can do about it. Every botter they get rid of, a hundred botting account gets generated. As long as account generation is free and easy, there's no effective measure to put this to a stop. No, trying to remove the merit of botting simply won't work. This community loves to see ppl suffer and they would bot just to create more suffering even if there's no substantial merit such as selling those accounts later on.

Contrary to what a few people have mentioned, Riot has implemented cheat detection as well as cheat prevention measures. However, it's a constant battle between the bot developers and improving the anti-cheat system. Riot has in fact been working on reducing/eliminating botting, but it's a long battle (similar to the botting that you would see in games like RuneScape and how pervasive macroing was).

What you can do as a player is report the bots for Intentionally Feeding and Using Hacks. This way, those bots are flagged and can be dealt with accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask!

yes there is something rito can do, and that is delete the accounts of those who make use of autobots

Another thing I've seen people do in bot games is get a pink ward (maybe some other item), go to krugs and place it from the other side of the wall then attack them. The krugs will reset and as they are moving towards their original spot the champion will attack them again, causing them to never be seen as AFK but not doing anything in the match at all. If you kill the krugs to force an AFK from them or make them stop they just go into lane and play normally until krugs respawn again.

I am not sure the point of players vs bots in this game... The only time the bots are even slightly hard is when you feed them.
