Player 'Bots' and Queues

I don't know if this phenomenon has been going on for a while, but they're essentially useless players who don't communicate and feed incessantly--player bots, I've seen them called.

After just enduring a game with one and coming out victorious, I was queued with the exact same idiot (summoner name - uULMDolores) and had no choice but to dodge the queue and face penalization in the form of a timeout. What else was I to do?

In a previous game, I was queued with two of these players in a game of 3s. The other team apologized and gave their condolences, while I just sat there in-game trying to decide whether to sit there and twiddle my thumbs for at least 15 minutes while my teammates ran around aimlessly or leave the game. I chose the latter.

The point of this post is to express my frustration at being punished in one way or another for trying to avoid these toxic players. How am I to deal with this?

They are leveling bots, they are in tons of games at low level. People will come in and deny it though and say these players weren't running into towers over and over cause they're bots, but cause they're 'just new' , lol right.

WOW, 5/6 PLAYERS IN A GAME I JUST LEFT WERE BOTS. Forget this game, I'll be back once Riot rectifies this bull.
