Can we get more Co-Op vs. AI opponent choices?

Due to reworks and including new champions into the game Riot has removed many champions from circulation in the Co-Op vs. AI game mode. Increasing the roster size for the AI will keep the game mode feeling "fresh" for players on the grind to level 30 and will better prepare them for when they make the jump into the PvP arena. Champions such as Twisted Fate, Sion, Gangplank, Soraka and Veigar were removed from the roster due to reworks. We were consolidated with only two new champions to the roster: Zyra & Lucian. I realize that some champions cannot be programmed to function properly or on par with PvP players but there are still quite a few that can be programmed quite easily for the role. I will list champions that I think can fill the gap in the AI roster:

Talon (AD mid laner, the bots have no AI mid laner selections) Ahri (mid) Skarner (top) Aatrox (top) Anivia (mid) Bard (support) Diana (mid) Gnar (top) Jayce (ranged top laner) Lissandra (mid/support) Karma (mid/support) Kennen (ranged top laner, instead of sending Lux bot top lane...) Mordekaiser (Mid/bot ADC) Jinx (ADC, and probably the most common ADC choice by newbie players recently) Nautilus (Top/support) Olaf (top) Lulu (support) Tryndamere (top) Syndra (mid) Varus (ADC, super easy to program in too) Veigar (mid, reinstate him back to being available) Twisted Fate (mid, reinstate him, allow him to go bot lane) Twitch (ADC bot) Volibear (Top) Zac (top) Pantheon (Top and mid, but only if Talon is unable to be programmed to go mid lane)

There's also a few other changes that can be done. Like sending Kayle top or mid instead of bot lane. Sending Nidalee mid lane. Don't send Lux top, nobody really does this in PvP. Bots should be able to ward bushes again instead of only Jax bot using a ward to escape pursuing enemies. If a bot is programmed to use a sight stone have them buy (and use) a sweeper if they see you place a ward in a bush. And you can remove Alistar bot because he is the most malfunctional AI you currently employ. His headbutts have knocked me out of Malzahar ultimates, Lucian ultimates and even Zigg's mega bomb ultimates thus saving my life. He is too exploitable and needs to be reworked before putting him back as an AI selection.

Support needs to stop farming, and bot duo needs to have an ADC+0 CS support

And they need to buy a sight stone. You forget that part :) To date only Zyra bot builds a sight stone and back when bots were programmed to ward she was incredibly effective at detecting player ambushes through both her seedlings and her wards. Wonder why they deprogrammed their ability to ward bushes...

Some of these are just too hard to implement, like Bard. Or at least that's Riot's excuse.

I must have missed him. Yup, he would be great mid or top.

We all know it's possible. Other MOBAs have pretty smart bots. Even good old DOTA from W3 had damn good bots.

There's only 1 obstacle: money. It's not like Riot is poor.. They are just being greedy.
