Bots in ARAM

Last 2 games of ARAM I had bots on my team in each one.

These players were clearly not 'just bad', they made a lot of the obvious 'bot' moves, turret diving when no one is around, using spells on empty space when no enemies were around.

Game 1, Quinn was a bot Quinn would take all the health packs right after reviving (if it was in his predefined path), shoot all skills into the walls, then attack the enemy from under turret until he died. He did this every time he revived.

Game 2, Nami was a bot Nami would not attack the enemy at all, stay back by minions/turret until all recently spawned minions left, then randomly use all spells on the ground/ cast ult into the middle of nowhere. If enemies approached her, she would stand still until they kill her.

These bots were really concerning me because they aren't extremely detectable (unless you're watching their exact movements like I was), like the old bots that would turret dive every time and autofollow their team. These bots were level 15-20 I think and it usually takes them forever to get banned.

Edit: Mods please do not remove this topic, it belongs it player behavior and moderation because this is a player behavior that is deciding to use bot and definitely needs more moderation.

Another big problem with these new bots not getting banned is a lot of the newer ones won't actually feed.

They'll play extremely defensively to the point where they won't even attack if the other players are aggressive enough, because before going scores like 0/20/0 was an easy way to detect it was a bot, but now they get scores like 0/6/2, but have very little damage dealt/received because they basically won't be attacking the entire game and will run every time they're attacked.

This makes it a lot harder to detect (outside of being in the game) unless someone is looking in on 'damage dealt/received' being extremely low like less than 10% of the other players damage. These bots often get wins in ARAM too because the other 4 players will get more exp or better comp so they can still get wins even if they literally contributed zero to the team.
