Why so many bots on ARAM?

Seriously. This has got to stop. Riot has to seriously start lookin' into this. Every game I've played so far has had a bot. It's obvious. They run in, they'll use their skills at nexus, auto attack 1 v 5, die, repeat. Cant anything be done about this?

Eventually your MMR will rise high enough that you won't get matched with the bots anymore.

It was sometimes 9 bots and me when I first started doing PVP.

Must be an MMR problem, I had no problem with bots today as I played ARAM. And I have been playing ARAM for a long time.

Not sure why Riot hasn't cracked down more heavily on bots. From a Business and technical standpoint, Bots are consuming computational Resources (space and data on the serves) By non clients. A computer leach, basically.

Yeah, just played an ARAM. The rammus on our side was definitely a bot

Last I checked, at least from what I experienced, it usually only happens to lowere leveled players. most likely filling up the space that would otherwise not be taken. I mean, on my smurf account, I tried Aram. Everyone was a bot except for 1 person on the enemy team. It was pretty much a test to see who can utilize the FtP champs of the week better.

well... before we condemn these "bots" lets have a lil thought....

"bots" (and i use quotes because no matter how sure u are, idk of any visual during a single game aspect that can pick out a bot vs a human) they stay at lower lvs as bots can **not **compete against a skilled grp of humans atm.... and at lower levels without bots there would be no aram games... or it would take an hr to get one... i exaggerate, but not so much i think.... also at these levels playing against a bot is nothing wrong... its still fun, they dont insult u or tell u how ez the game was at the end.....

so whats wrong with playing against bots in aram at lower levels? if anything i appreciate that these things lower my wait times..... i like playing against bots as they teach me a lot of what i do wrong and how to correct it, with no negative chat involved about how noob i might be.....

i wish riot had implemented bots as an alternative to players who DC, never connect, or as fillers after you go 5-10 mins in queue waiting for a game.....

after snowball i stopped playing aram as much.... i think many others have as well.... i could be wrong.... but anyways, i dont play as much, the wait times are longer, the "randomness" of champ select seems to be gone if it ever existed with a slant to free weekly champs, matchmaking is sometimes painful (in a purely aram for aram context.....)

and i dare not talk about the re-skin of the map in anything but glowing comments for fear of being downvoted into oblivion.....

ah well...

a time for everything... everything in its own time........
