Bots being broken; Tired of it

Convertible·2/17/2018, 6:10:37 AM·2 votes·805 views

I'm sure i'm not the only one who has noticed this over the past 2 months but I am sick of joining Intermediate 5v5 vs Bots and having 1-2 bots at most "Broken" by this what I mean is they will just stand there and take damage for your free kill, it makes the whole game un-challenging and sometimes you don't even see the Bot return to your lane for the whole game making it 2v1 in the lane. I could name about 5-6 bots that seem to be broken almost every time but I don't want to go search their name and type it here. I just know that it's annoying when you see them just standing there, or they'll keep coming down your lane not doing anything and making it a free kill

Also, For MONTHS now - What happened to Summoners' Rift, being required to be put/play on the opposite side of the map? I haven't had this happen to me in literally months. But most of all am just annoyed by the above ^^^ It just makes it un-challenging.

Sorry if there is a massive thread already about this, but if anyone could provide feedback of the issue it would be nice, or discuss it

Thanks for reading!

I'm not sure if they are broken, I think they might be designed that way, could be wrong though.

Yeah certain bots seem more prone to breaking altogether.

I've noticed Jhin bot likes to just stop responding and stand there until death. Once you kill him, he never returns to lane, just afks in fountain.

Jinx and Trist bot will at some point pull a Tyler1 and just start running it down botlane and INTing, over and over. She doesn't react to being hit, minions, or anything, just runs to tower and dies.

When Rammus Qs, he just stays in one place until the Q finishes.

And yeah it's been forever(not sure how long cause I didn't notice it for awhile) since the map sides have been switched, it's always blue for players, red for bots.

There are others but they don't come to mind at the moment.

i can agree riot has gotten really lazy with their bots mode, ive seen it countless times as well... there was even one instance of this in a MagicarpUsedFly video where renekton bot just kept walking to a spot on the map over and over and let himself be killed... ill link it just incase anyone wants to see https://youtu.be/prNwE0LxSEY?t=7m42s

Karthus bot glitches out and just stops moving at some point

AFK bots don't return when the afk player reconnects (that's why bots go afk) - personally speaking, there shouldn't be a need for a bot to afk with the player.

Rammus starts Q and stands still sometimes

The chase behind outer turrets into double suicide still works, although it's harder to pull off (I personally would like to see that go).

After playing bots in heroes of the storm, I really do believe they’ve got a lot of work to do to improve the bot AI. The elite bots in HotS (ok I chuckled at that) are nuts and really difficult to beat. Plus it’s really difficult to play a solo tank with bots in LoL because your damage dealing allies don’t capitalize on the opportunities you hand them.
