I agree with this post! It's not so much the unfairness of bots, because they are beatable as are players of lesser skill level. It's the sheer number of games they play depletes the reward pool and reduces the amount of DEC earned each match for ZERO effort of the owner of the bot. THAT is an advantage, and why would they not duplicate the bots to an infinite level? It's free money.
The solution is simple. Just put a Captia on the battle loading screen that has to be solved before you can select your team. Yeah, it will suck to spend the 5 seconds to complete it, but it won't suck as much as the effect of the BOTZERG that has been eating the newer player base.
