Hard Mode For Bots

Hey just wanted to ask if you guys could make a hard mode for bots? I really like this game but I have to say the toxic people I'm matched with are really sapping my will to play. Taking half the people out of the equation and making a consistent challenging opponent to play against would really be beneficial to a noobie like me. Please consider it, it would mean the world to me. Also, why can't there be a Jungler in bots I don't imagine its that hard to code. If you need to at all there as some top of the line AI that I bet could do JG quite easily and you know what this sounds like a troll but truthfully if you guys asked Elon Musk I bet he would say yes to trials on if his AI could complete the complex role.

Several years back they had messed about with an 'expert' bot level in the PBE, but dropped it because the inhuman reaction times were generally considered cheap; stuff like dodging skillshots before your cast animation fires, lining up CC properly to lock someone down for several seconds without counterplay, ext. So I doubt they'd bother unless most of the playerbase was obviously masochistic. I'll agree that they need more maps and more bots, or at least let us put bots on aram or something.

I'd like to see the original doombots return as this hardmode ai match though. In case you don't know every ai had an extra free passive effect going on, anything from amumu's crying generating from minions or spawning clones upon taking damage; but when killed they'd gain another random effect, and would stack every time they were killed making lategame a kaleidoscope of skills to dodge. Here's a music video from before the satantic rework of doombots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0FJGZE4djk Looking back at it, you can see the fragments they reused for the PvE modes too.

Making an AI that advanced is an even bigger thing than the game itself.

A system like this was actually made for Dota 2, and the pros who played in a 1v1 got fuckin smashed for a good while, but eventually adapted. I could see it being a good tool for Pros in LoL, but I don't think a casual as yourself would benefit much from it.

Mute all, play game.
