Is Riot aware of the influx of botted accounts in recent games? And if so what are they planning to do about it?

Bots have been a problem with this game since its inception. They know most botting programs and because of that they wait so that they can keep updating when possible so when they do their ban waves of 3rd party programs they won't know exactly what caused it.

It sucks for us players because there is no compensation, or basically anything we can do to stop this. We can report and that's basically it.

Bots are tricky. One botting program will not look like another, which makes it difficult to determine what is a bot and what is not. Especially in low level games it can be really difficult to tell the difference. Riot is well aware of the problem, but they aren't going to tell you what they are going to do about it, because if they did, that would make it easier for people who make these programs to patch their programs around it. Same thing with scripters.
