We should get Hard Level bots that play like Scripters

They studder-step, sidestep and stand still to dodge every move. They use defensive moves (shields, dashes, any strong defense steroid like parry) perfectly and without delay (like parrying a singed flip). They aim their skillshots in the best possible way to cover as much possible area. They always stay just out of range of dangerous enemies with point-and-click abilities.

That, and they should get the added bonus of being decisive about their positioning and whether or not it's worth dodging an ability (like walking backwards to dodge a soraka q when the entire enemy team is behind you), whether or not it's worth just taking an unavoidable hit (point and click burst/stuns) and being able to always estimate exactly how much damage is needed to kill you including any allied shields or heals nearby (even taking into consideration your team's gangplank or soraka ults) to know when it does or doesn't have a perfect advantage.

This would give us the unique learning experience of 'ace' gameplay: You will never land a skillshot unless your skillshot is undodgeable, like being cast from melee range or having a targeted stun first. You will never win a fight without extremely good mechanics or an 'ace up your sleeve'.

Technically speaking, all Bots are scripters :)

I would like to see "Hard" bots, maybe not quite to the extent you stated but with the ability to dodge and engage correctly without running away the second they get low so you can easily run them down. I think your changes should be saved for "Extreme" bots. lol

Maybe call these Impossible Bots. But yes, absolutely.

For me, I've had a similar experience with Overwatch's hard bots. They aren't as powerful as you've described, but I practiced against them for like a week, and then when I moved on to pvp for the first time, it was like everyone in pvp were easy bots lmao

Every co-op vs AI game with Annie Bot should summon Annie Bot the Challenger. Rito pls.

I sometimes ponder if they could make a bot that would beat top challengers. They did it for chess, so why not league?
