Bots are way too good at dodging certain skillshots.

It's absolutely odd. Intermediate bots are able to dodge Ahri's charm or Jinx's zap nearly 100% of the time with the slightest time to react. This wouldn't even be possible in games with players because most people have a minimum of ~30 ping.

It's a bit discouraging to new players who want to use skillshot based champions. You can be great with it and still the bots will dodge most of the time. It's completely inconsistent though. They can dodge a pointblank charm but they won't dodge any of Vel'Koz's abilities at max range.

Riot team can you look into this? It doesn't bother me but it makes no sense how it's just completely random what skills they will dodge and it's not good for new players.

That's because of the way how bots dodge. They just check when your skillshot goes on CD then move right or left to try to "dodge" it. Vel'koz's abilities are more complex than a charm, so the bots aren't always sure what to do. If you aim beside a bot they will often walk into the skill, they're not that smart.

The majority of players can dodge even point blank Zaps, it's a slow skill and if you're not already CCd it's quite easy to avoid. Charm is a little harder but good players can dodge charm by listening for the sound effect then quickly turning, although any point blank charm dodge is just luck.

I'm not saying bots should be as good as they are at dodging, but it's a hell of a lot better than when they just didn't even attempt to dodge.

I played with cassipeia using scripts, perfect evade and at the same time target skills, even evade skills from fog of war. Sick of this
