Harder Bots difficulty please

I like playing league, but absolutely not when I NEED to play with people who only think about themselves and how many kills they can get, even from stealing a kill right from some other player, or picking a champion that is way too powerful for the bots to handle, even at early levels, or that they want to get FirstBlood as fast as they can from extorting the way the bots act, and MUCH MUCH MORE. It just does not make the game at-all fun for people like me. So why cant we have a Bots difficulty that curves this bad behaviour from rotten players and gets people ACTUALY working together to win, instead of some player selecting an akali and bursting down every bot from; one... double kill, trip.... PENTAKILL?! What! you don't deserve that, you stole half your kills from people who ACTUALY want to have fun in trying, sort of idea. Can we PLEASE get a harder difficulty, not Doom Bots hard (or maybe yes? people don't act like pricks in that mode) but hard enough that some retard cant spam his way to penta, and ACTUALY have people working as a team. It is just is not fun for those who get stomped on by these ambitious, hungry players.

You're being pretty harsh on that guy. Like, nobdoy likes that guy, but it's not like that guy's really doing anything wrong in the first place. Which is part of why that guy can be so annoying. Spammin' my chat box with LEGENDARY.

Would be really nice for tougher bot levels though. Kinda refreshing to play a game with an AI you can actually learn a lot of relevant PvP tactics from rather than just picking up on PvE cheese that basically wouldn't work on an actual human.

Only thing I'd say is restrict the harder bot difficulties to summoner levels, like summoner spells are (and to a greater extent runes and masteries). Partially because of runes and masteries, but also - a lot of my gamer friends immediately put on the harder difficulties if they're available, and it would be nice to not immediately scare away rookie players with bots designed to give 500+ wins level 30 players a challenge.

Telling Riot to make the AI "harder" is like telling an artist to make his drawings "better". You can give bots instantaneous reflexes to flash dodge Riven ults and Morgana snares, but there is no simple "difficulty" variable when it comes to a strategic decision making. If you ever have any specific ideas on how to change bot behavior so that they are "better", such as attempting to take baron/dragon whenever all five enemies are dead, then you should state these as well.
