To be honest I wouldn't mind bots hitting ice. That's something at least. When I look at a problem I 1) try to think of a way to eliminate it. If not then 2) what can I do to minimize/use it. Ppl are going to bot so long as there are rewards, so it can't be stopped. We can minimize the impact with the medal system, rewards based on participation. Make the threshold low enough for low skilled to get rewards but bots get next to nothing. At least if bots are whacking ice they get the dps and ice medals but 2 medals won't reward much. The bots also "help" the team rather than only taking points away with deaths.
