Do you ever go back to Intro / Beginner bot games?

I played a few last night to see who I could meet and what silly things I would run into, not much exciting happened yet

My SO and I used to play a lot of Co-Op v. AI. She'd always make fun of me because I'd want to go into Beginner and not Intermediate. Then we'd go into Intermediate because I'm not going to back down from a challenge. Then she'd laugh and berate me when I died to bots.

Sometimes I just want to roll over some artificial intelligence and pretend I'm Will Smith.

If I'm not really in the mood to play a 20+ minute rift game, I'll usually do an ARAM to grab my win of the day. If I find myself being frustrated by ARAM losses, then I'll occasionally do a botstomp for my win of the day, often doable in 10 minutes.

When I do play bot games, it's either with bot accounts who basically feed the whole game, or likeminded players looking for the reliable trivial win of the day.

I played some more, all of the people who look like they're really new never talk, even if I tell them to press Enter : (

I've been levelling up my smurf today with bot games.

In other news, bots are literally useless. Their itemization hasn't been updated so they start with 4 pots, their gameplay is lacking and Ryze bot literally randomly uses his ult and runs in circles. Also Ryze bot is still a Ryze.

I do when I need like 50 ip and I'm too lazy to play a normal game.

I don't remember if it was on this account or my other one, but I queued for beginner SR bots a month or two ago, and I ran into 2 Diamond ranked players, one Platinum, and one Silver (or was it 1 Diamond, 2 Platinum and 1 Silver? I cant remember...).

No one said anything, but I laughed like hell when one of them gave up first blood.

I like to go back to bots when I need to let off some steam when I lose a game to a fed MasterYi or Leblanc

Only times where I did coop vs AI is;

When leveling up a smurf When having a low priority queue penalty for 10 games because my games kept crashing at loading screen and it tagged me as an AFKer

Does bot games count towards your leaverbuster count?

For leveling a smurf, or testing a brand new champ.

Then, 15 minutes in, when it's clear that we will win and we are already so far ahead, I start not playing seriously and doing some stupid sh*t, and I exit the game thinking:

"Pfff, now I remember why I do not play versus Bot, they are complete trash, and now this test is not conclusive."

I do when I play with a friend who hates PVP (he had a bad experience on top of 80 straight losses. I'm only hoping he gets interested when Taric's rework comes out). I just don't have fun playing bots.

I made the mistake of going into a beginner AI game and was paired with 4 bots on my own team. They're easy to spot with crazy names and they always take Ghost/Heal.

All you find there are bots mostly, but sometimes you run into that gold player who yells at everyone for not doing well. Nothing too interesting to find, really.
