Improved Bots / Human Intelligence Bots

I don't know if this is true to everybody, but Bots mode is a sandbox mode to me and it's where I test out my build, and practice new champion. But bots mode are too easy these days. So I would like to ask Riot to improve Bots mode and make them_ harder to play against_ (similar to dooms bot, but without the crazy buff). That's all I have to say regarding this matter. Please take it into consideration for your next patch.

I'd love to see Riot make a self-learning bot that learns from its mistakes and progressively gets better and better until...

Bot LCS.

Bots that are warry when their cool downs are off and aggro when two or more of yours are down seem a lot smarter.

Assuming they don't already take things like that into account.

Did doom bots have a different and more difficult AI or was their difficulty purely from the crazy buff?

The Doom bots were just as intelligent as ordinary bots. The only thing that made them harder was that they got better abilities. So yeah, playing against bots is too easy. However, making bot AI smarter is a seriously difficult challenge. They actually have to come up with ways to improve the bots that don't involve super-computer crunching, but any algorithm that is too easy is going to get exploited by players.

I thought so.

Although it may also be too easy to create bots that simply make no mistakes and hit every ability and such. The trick might be to make them just incompetent enough to be difficult without making them impossible to beat for a human. Don't know if thats the case for LoL bots though.

I bet it wouldn't hurt if they got better runes and full masteries at least, that'll help a little bit, not much but a little at least. XD

I'd already be happier if we at least got to fight against all the champions instead of the limited pool we have now, at least a few of them where added a little while ago so thats a step in the right direction.

That's the case. Bots are gods at dodging skillshots. They could dodge any skillshot you throw at them. But they don't, they are kind.

Well, we now have AI that can beat Grandmasters of Go. So AI is starting to move along. Maybe it isn't inconceivable to get more human-like bots. Nobody says you have to program them to dodge perfectly.

Bots need to be capable of jungling as well. They just end up sending two top which is unrealistic for actual games, and might give newbies the wrong idea as to how to set up laning.
