Bots uprising in dominion

I am not sure where to put this post as there is no specific report a bot uprising, but here it is.

I have noticed a huge amount of bots today in dominion. This is kinda sad to be honest, since there is so few that actually play the mode compared to ARAM or 3v3/5v5. I really could understand why people would chose to bot in this mode, however it makes the mode worse than it originally was. The bots constantly disconnect, stand around, or just walk past you as if you aren't even there. They are super easy to out duel as they literally let you get 3 - 4 hits in before even reacting to the damage and they make meaningless moves around the map (such as walking half way to a captured point standing there and just turning around and heading to base. I would love to see the game mode actually have players when I play on the odd occasion... playing with bots makes it a luck game where it is who gets the least bots on their team. I in fact had a whole game of bots where I was the only player. 3 of mine were disconnecting constantly and the other walked around aimlessly. Three on the other team were there but they would act like i wasn't even there when attacking them, The other thing is that they would stand at a capture point not even stealing it from me for about 10 - 15 seconds (they seemed afk). I could walk up to them in this standing position and dance or laugh for about 5 - 10 seconds before they would randomly start autoattacking me.

Noticed the same thing just today. I was on one team and there was one other real player on the other. It just became a war of attrition. It was stupid and pointless. I feel bad for winning.

Dominion has been a bot kingdom for a long time and it's not gonna change. It's so rarely played that it's practically no risk to use bots there, because let's be honest, who's gonna report you for that? Another bot? Dominion is just dead, that's all.

Yea Rito is dropping the ball big time. Can't report those botters directly, can't contact CS about it, I posted about it on the Boards some hours ago and it got deleted, along with some other posts I made listing current bugs.

Just beat them a few times and it should boost your elo above where the bots can reach. You should be fine after that. People say TT has a massive botting problem too, but I queued for that with only 5 normal wins and didn't get any. It was a full 3v3 of players.

Bots will ruin LoL as long as IP prices are so ridiculous. It's easier to set up a bot than farm all the IP.

An example of a lobby full of bots. My team was premade except for Miss Fortune who was also a bot. Riot needs to monitor Dominion games. These bots literally all move the exact same way or otherwise d/c or afk. My premade group looked up the enemy team and they all had the same masteries of 29 1 0 with the same exact allocations AND the same summoner spells WITH no runes. All level 30 players with about 400 normal wins 300 dominion wins on EVERY single player.
