Co-Op vs Ai 4 bots

Zeanix·Aug 2, 2018·28 votes·12,913 views

In Co-Op vs Ai, bots are starting as 4 only, rather than 5 even when everyone is connected. This was in the last patch too and I thought it would've been fixed by then. Any chance to take a look at this?

The worst part is that even though only 4 start, one of those bots may have no items for the whole of the game (the one bot that never starts also has no items).

It gets even better than that though. One of those 4 bots can also go afk (i suppose it's not really afk just never leaves fountain) leaving only 3 bots (the bot that leaves is usually the bot with no items).

I think the reason they only have 1 top lane bot now is to simulate a laning phase with junglers. It's really hard for new players to 1v2. Also this helps for when enemy Zyra Bot has like 13 kills. I honestly think its just to help new players out. I would also like to add it helps, because the odds now, though less than before of having a leveling bot on your team is still there. A couple patchs ago i would have 3 bots on my team just do jungle Camps with grasp and bloodrazor. Also new players have connection issues.

That's why new players should practice in custom AI games. They can set those up as they wish. Once they are ready they can join the Coop vs AI games. There is no need to ruin this game mode for the rest of us. Saying this, I don't think this is intentional. But what do I know. Riot already ruined the PvP experience with recent changes, they could do the same with the Coop experience, too.

why don't they actually have a jungler bot?

Easier to code laning than jungling, I imagine

it isn't hard to make a bot that moves around and kills jungle camps automatically

I mean, if that's all it does, might as well just have an afk at the very least the jungler bot should gank lanes

to be fair, they LITERALLY DO have an afk 100% of the time, what would you suggest? i'd say doing SOMETHING in the game is more useful than afking, you feel me?

No, it's a confirmed bug.

Yes I've expereienced this in like 400 other times I was playing with bots on 8.14. Hope Riot will address this soon.

I am looking into that right now! Not sure where the root issue lies yet.

Unfortunately, the same team that owns ARAM (my team T_T) is the same team that owns Bots. :P so we prioritized the ARAM fix and any assistance required for that first, but Bots is our next priority!

Honestly kinda sad that a multi billion dollar company has to mash two modes into one team, and if they can't work on each modes simultaneously then we can only assume the team is small which is even more sad.

I don't think a we need a team that cares for coop games 24/7 - not because it's not important but because it doesn't require as much attention to justify a whole team dedicated to it.

Was going to make a thread but glad to see this at the top of the list. This bug has been going on for days and days, and I personally am done playing more than 1 game a day now. It's not fun and is not competitive when there's 5 of us vs 4 of them, It happens in Top lane only (Pretty sure) and not fun at all when you have your other team-mate there vs only 1 bot. Please fix this soon*******

Well no wonder we never get anything out of Co-Op vs AI. Got thrown as a side responsibility for another team. Remember this is the same mode where if a champion bot breaks they just pull it never to return. (Bye Aurelion Sol and Jhin)

Really freaking frustrating. We've been through a WHOLE PATCH and it's still broken. ARAM as far as I could see works for the most part. Please spend some time on this mode already.
