[GAMEPLAY] In Co-op vs AI, one bot is always AFK

Since today's patch, one of the top lane bots in co-op matches remains inactive, like they would do if a player was disconnected. This is happening when all players are present, throughout the entirety of every match (except when your team approaches the enemy fountain, at which point they might "wake up" and try to fight you while they're level 3). It's not the problematic bots (Yasuo, Taric, et al.), either - any single bot that would've gone top lane for that match will AFK. Someone I played with observed that the AFK bot is generally a champ that can jungle, but I think that's just coincidence (if Noc and Nunu bots were present in a given match, I wouldn't expect both of them to be broken/AFK).

Happening to me too. Every game.

Same. Every game. Real sad we lose AI champs every patch (bye Aurelion Sol and others), no new modes, not even an "Advanced" set of bots where the gold/item accrual is faster.

It's a shame those who like not wanting to deal with the toxic cesspool of pvp get squeezed out.

RIOT does not even recognize this as a bug, since there is no notification "we are aware...and we're working on it".

For me it was nunu 5 times now.

I think this is intended as a way for people to "practice" jungling. Its not a very good way though since your team is always ahead of theirs and you almost never get to experience jungling. The only way to practice is in norms. Rito plz, fix this, give the bots justice.

Finally a post talking about this problem....There is nothing about it not even in reddit...I reported this bug that started with patch 8.14 and Riot didn't fix it for 8.15 without saying anything in patch notes. It's really weird.

This makes playing against bots no fun at all. If you try in normals you get beat down for trying something not meta, etc. So RIOT fix this, have your developers create a bot that can play jungle and will gank based on situations....
