At present, there is an average of 2-3 bots on the "human" team when queueing for a Vs. AI game. This is rendering it nearly impossible to practice a new character without going to a PVP game and ruining things for other real players.
The bots all behave in basically exactly the same way; it should be super easy to write a script that bans every bot account before it has completed a single game.
its been this way for over a year, going back to dominion days, even longer than that.
"practice a new character without going to a PVP game and ruining things for other real players."
Its normals. you aren't ruining anything, in reality that is what normals are for. You are being way too considerate towards people who cant comprehend that you have to play a champ competitively against humans to even really learn the champ.
You only get down a few basic mechanics in bots but you aren't really learning the champ as well as you do against other humans.
