Has anyone else noticed a increase in bot players in Co-op vs AI?

I play co-op vs AI a lot and in my last 9 games I've had 2 games where I assume "Bots" where 2 players just sit behind mid tower at the same point, and then just attack move down mid. On occasion they go to side lanes and do the same thing; also one of them gets kicked for being afk then comes back. Each time was pretty much exactly the same movements from them. I've also had another 3 games where people where solo player did this where 1 of them just trolling and feeding. I've play like 1800 bot games and I've never ran into this many this often. Is riot putting these people with more experienced players or is this just bad luck?

I say that riot might be doing this because I've noticed that there are many more below level 30 player in my games now as where there were few to none in most of my games.

Its much more frequent in low level Vs AI game. but there is really no way to stop them. They have always been here, and probably will always. You have to remember this is a Free to Play game. Anyone can make an account and because of that this leads to a "Black Market" type of deals where people make these programs to help level up accounts and sell them. it such, but thats just how it is for a free to play game.

I think it's always been a bit of an issue. I hadn't noticed an increase, but then again I almost never play bots these days.

1800 bots games? Why? =P

There was a brief decrease for a few months after a particularly high period, but we're back on a high period now. This coming from someone usually just gets his bonus with a bot game daily.

Pre-lvl 30, there is a plague of bots in many many game types. Coop v ai, aram, SR.

Lvl 30, it's almost exclusively in coop v ai.

It's not just you that is running into this problem.

Well, i just had a Game: me and 4 Bots... 4! This is so frustrating. Didn't have one game the entire week without having at least 2 botting players. Reporting doesn't help - clearly Riot just does not want to improve gaming experience....

HOTS here I come....
