Better Bot AI and Coop vs AI matches.

I'm slowly coming to figure out that a large part of my problem with playing PVP matches is that I can not have fun unless I'm winning. Maybe that's because winning is such a concrete thing declared by "Victory" or "Defeat" right in front of my face and also because I am at the mercy of too many external things (other people/team comp). That said, bot matches seem like a possible compromise since they can adjust for a player who goes afk, etc, making me less at the whim of forces I can't control and putting control of the loss or victory in my own hands rather than teammates. The one problem I frequently observe is that players who are TOO good end up joining the bot matches and massacring them solo while leaving little to nothing meaningful for me to do. I request that Riot make better bot AI and perhaps tweaks to improve the PVE experience of people like me who aren't good in PVP and have a difficult time being sportsmanlike in the lopsided feast-or-famine matches you've created in all the previous patches.

As far as I see it, this is win-win. You keep me out of PVP matches, hypothetically making the experience better for other players and I get to play the game in a mode that's better suited to me. As a paid customer, I don't think it's unfair to ask.

The AI just got a lot better in the last patch, with the addition of keystones as well.

They're slowly improving the AI, even though it doesn't show up in the patch notes. The bots have gotten steadily smarter and use more of their tools over even the short time I've been playing League.
