Begginer bot games, issue.

For starters, I do admit that I am getting special treatment by being forced to restart the game every few months. So this time I decided to start with a new tactic, 1 bot game per day for the first win boost, so I can buy Katarina pre 5, cuz free before that. Kay now to my point... Has anyone ever noticed what's actually going on in the bot games? I've done 3 bot games until now and literally, there was 8 bots all 3 games.... Now you say "Katarina, how is that possible my dear?" Here's the answer. 5 bots in enemy team, normal ect... And 3 bots in my team the same time. And you ask "How dear? How do you know they are bots?" I've seen newbies, I know how newbies play... Hell I was here season one and everyone was a newbie and played bad... But this, this specific gameplay is familiar to pain... You ask me why so? I tell you... These 3 players who I claim to be bots, had the same behavior as the PRE-rework bots. They walk to lane, start hitting minions, if you hit them once they walk back to tower, if they have many minions (own team) around they stood and shot the enemy, no matter what. Clearly the new bot AI, even on easy is superior and manages to dominate the old AI, I ain't complaining on the AI getting fed, it's actually funnier to play.

But my actual point. Firstly these bots count as "Active accounts/players", right? That's one on a side, the same time... If I am just lucky to get 3 ppl bot teams and there's actually huge amount of bot parties, that are 5 ppl bots, vs bots... These people flood the servers and actually may cause problems. Lets not skip the part that in 1-2 weeks these bots will be level 30 and sold to people who are perma banned, for real life money.

Could Riot take a look at the "beginner" level bots games, this over-flood of bots reminds me of the old dominion... And it's horribly bad. How are new players suppose to learn when bots are pretty much feeding the other bots and the new player gets abused by a fed Warwick bot, or a fed Annie bot?.

Clearly I cannot post any matches, as proof, because "naming and shaming" rules are awesome.

Cheers. This is my report, I didn't write a ticket, because I currently have an active ticket waiting to be checked and if I send a second one it will be instantly closed until my first one is closed.

Idk about beginner bots but I know for a fact that twisted treeline is basically only bots, pvp or not.

That's been going on for months now in all bot game modes, and there's still been no comment from Riot on it.

chances are they're still flagging them for when they do another ban wave of bots.

they don't actively ban bots as they come because they try to collect info on how the script is running first, then update their detection, and then ban a mass of them in a wave. If they banned them as they acme, they'd be giving a lot of feedback to the script writers on HOW they're being detected progressively. Sadly with so many salty players getting their own accounts banned and wanting to get around those bans but wanting to skip the leveling process, the market for account sellers is an open one until kids learn to calm their balls and close their wallets.

On my smurf I once had a support soraka. she literally walked everywhere I walked to. I stood under enemy tower, she joined. I went to enemy tower, she joined. She never left the lane until I died, then she just WALKS back to the base and never nought any items for the entire game. And she healed me even if I lost like 1 HP. Best part : She kept healing me until herself had 1 HP left. Clearly a bot, and not a troll :)
