Bots are getting ridiculous, Twisted Treeline is now unplayable

I have played three games of Twisted Treeline tonight, and only met up with one other actual player. It's almost 100% bots. You can usually tell in character select if it's going to be a bot too, but if you leave you get a huge penalty. After leaving 3 in a row, I was waiting nearly a half hour just to play. I know TT isn't Riot's priority, but this is ridiculous. I prefer TT because the games are shorter, sometimes I don't have time for an hour commitment. If you're going to keep TT as an option, then fix the bots because right now it's completely unplayable and a huge waste of time.

I know I could have added this to one of the MANY other threads about this issue, but since RIOT doesn't seem to be doing anything at all for TT regardless of all the other threads, I decided to make a new one instead.

Dominion has had the same issue for ages.

Riot doesn't care what happens on other maps so long as Rift is fine. Maybe once bots start driving new players away there they'll finally do something about it.

I found the players in Hexakill are like ... kids or cat on keyboard, either toxic or unimaginable gameplay. Maybe TT is cursed.

You can tell the difference between bots and bad players. The bad players will actually do something when their towers are getting killed. bots just constantly farm bot. It's annoying because it's not a difficult issue to solve, there are so many ways to implement player verification. IP also isn't transferable, so if we could report bots then they could easily be banned. But RIOT just won't make it a priority. It makes no sense, why would you spend all this money and effort developing different game modes, then let them fall apart with bots.

I'm noticing the same thing. Filed a ticket, but I don't think anything will come of it.

I have played 3s almost exclusively since I joined in late 2010 and I have never EVER seen a bot in 3s until yesterday, now I have seen 2 in the past 24 hours over ZERO in the past 4-5 years? pls don't let 3s become dominion, you don't give us a solo q, you don't give us our own boards, you don't do anything except FUCK US OVER.

I don't play 5s and give 0 fucks about 5s and if not for me having to play draft to play ranked again I'd never play em again. If 3s become bot infested like dominion then I'm done playing this game. Riot doesn't care unless its 5s

I believe that like everyone else RIOT does not care about this, and if thats the case whatever. However I would like to know as a paid player who invested say more than $100 into their game If that is the case. I would like to have an official response from a senior member/staff member on this forum stating this. Riot please respond to this forum, and at least acknowledge the issue exists.
