a thought on trying to punish bots more consistently?

Several days ago I tried getting some opinions from G&B about adding an option in the post-game lobby's report list to report someone for being a bot/using a bot since honestly they take the fun out of the experience as it creates a huge tilt in one team's favor in terms of power, Plus we all know these bots are accounts that are going to be sold off to people that want to come be asses on boards with those accounts to avoid having their main(s) get violations/suspensions.

Well sadly the discussion was on the bottom 3 or so of the page when it started and probably disappeared from the front within 15 minutes. I decided to try here in maps/modes since it might be more relevant to people who play other featured game modes more often and have to see/deal with it more often as well.

Sorry if it's a bit much to read but I'm looking more for the votes on the question at the bottom of it if you don't really feel like giving an actual verbal reply. Here's the link to the discussion, and thank you:

Next time, just repost the relevant text instead of trying to revive a nearly month-old post. Include that explanatory blurb, too, to avoid looking like you're spamming the boards. Also, personally not voting because the options are too biased.

Riot's commented that they're banning bots in waves. Whether or not it's having an effect is a different discussion. The official suggestion is to report the bots with a relevant reason, and explain that it's a bot and why in the comments section.
