Be Warned, Auto-Clickers are at large!

So I've noticed that whenever i get into a non-ranked Twisted Treeline, or an ARAM, there are always some people who just walk out, and start attacking minions. They don't go for kills, they don't buy anything, and their abilities always go in the same direction. I think they have a program that automatically clicks for them that accepts the game, picks a champion, and makes them walk to lane, occasionally firing a skillshot in a random direction. I'm pretty positive that the only reason for doing this is to leave the game on all day, and to get infinite xp/ip. It is seriously pissing me off how people think they can ruin the game for everyone else, just because they are too lazy to earn their rewards. I think Howling Abyss, and Twisted Treeline should be disabled until there is a sure way to keep this from happening.

It's called botting and it's a very rampant issue. The only solution at the moment is to only play SR, really. They're much less common there.

i've been telling everyone for some time now, add me on leagues, document the account names for me and send them over, I'm building an organized list to send to Riot, and I've already made contact with some employees.

I also report the bots under griefing "Bots"

lets try not to lose members over this, I convince my team mates to not engage the AI, and if the enemy team has more bots than my team (this is VERY frequent) I try to call a surrender and give them the win.

This isn't nearly as big a problem now as it was a couple of weeks ago. It's actually possible to have a match with 5 human players on each side in ARAM now. But those stupid bots are still out there.
