ARAM - BOT Players

The Problem:

So I pretty much only play ARAM, and there is a real problem with BOT players. I report them, but it is so rampant that it doesn't even matter. I've searched for this in the forums and see this was talked about since 2013. This seriously ruins gameplay for me. Nothing like having 3 BOT players on your team and its actually a good team comp.

RIOT Possible Solution:

Appoint Administrators of some sort. I realize this would take a lot of trust from RIOT, but I doubt they have enough employees to troll games for these players. I do see many of the same names when paired, so I would assume there are trustworthy players RIOT can grant permissions too.

Player Solution:

Best way I figure to get around this is to increase friends list and make sure you have 5 player party. Even then going against an enemy team that has BOTs takes the fun out of it. At least your team would be able to end the game faster though =P.

Thanks,

Player Solution:

Get to level 30 and try your best to get the best win/lose ratio you can.

You won't ever see bot players you might see some IP farmers / account levelers but they try to win and typically get IP boosts a lot. Lower win/lose ratio you will see more perm banned players trolling but higher you get the less you see (they typically are very bad players).

Some times of day are worse to play than others. So if you are losing streak stop playing and try different time.

If you do good your only problem you run into is premades which inflates bad players elo's so you get a bunch of bad players thinking they pro who forget your elo didn't get boosted to be playing there.

Rampant? For real? I've never encountered this and I play ARAM... Maybe I don't play as much as you. You probably play a lot if you encounter familiar names. Nevermind me.

I don't know if you can see my match history: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA/271432

They are indeed EXTREMELY common. Theres one in your second match btw, but i didnt bother to look at your entire history. You can usually tell in game-they have no masteries, usually. I just had a bot on each team. Match prior, three bots on my team, one on the enemies. Ive noticed bots are more active during the EST hours of midnight to 8am If you look at my overall history youll see a lot of aram matches where people go 0/15+++, those are ALL bots.

Which second game? I posted 5 months ago, so are you talking about a game played on 2/1/2017 since that was 7 days ago? Are you talking about the game where I played Brand in co-op vs AI? If that's the game, then I would be playing with my friend Jinx who never played LoL before and didn't use masteries.

Can you link me to the game where I had a bot, please? Thanks.

I still don't think I'm encountering bots in my ARAMs. Maybe it's happened, but I don't think it happens frequently. I dunno.

I do think there could be bots in ARAMs and that I am a higher MMR than the bots are able to reach. I dunno.
