Harder Bots

Minsk and Boo·Apr 25, 2015·2 votes·742 views

I'm a long-time (S2) player of mainly bots because I don't like the stress of ranked and I recently finished a bot game in 17 minutes, 27 seconds. I'm getting matched with plats to smash bots. I can't experience what it will be like for me to play a new champ PvP because my allies in bot are waaaay better than my allies will be in PvP. I can't tell if I'm playing Hec to a Vi-able level because I'm never forced to carry from jungle with these amazing teammates.

Two requests:

Please increase the diversity of player strengths in bot games. I don't need to play with golds or plats and I'm certain they don't need me there either. Maybe I could give some newer players tips, or simply lead by example. I love when when my team-mates are new, because I have some fed but predictable opposition in a no-consequence game.
Please create a 'hard' bot level where, for example, bots flash towards the nearest tower when <20% health. This one change alone would make bots far more similar in skill to scrubs like me.

yes, i also suggested this long time ago, there should be more where bots are way better so players can improve game mechanics, i would also suggest that in hard bot mode if you don't kill drake in 5 mins after he spawns - it goes to bots, if you don't steal buffs from enemy jungle - tey go to bots,also bots get all gold per minions killed near them even they dont get last hit, its too easy to kep bot away from farm.

If they made bot games too high quality, it would remove some incentive for people to play PvP, which is the core of the game.

why would making bots harder remove incentive to play PvP? If anything it will make PvP be better simply because now you have decent training partners to play against and not things that are punching bags that stand literally no chance of doing anything unless you completely shut your brain down and play as bad as possible

I don't see the fun in fighting an enemy that does the same goddamn thing every time it hits 30% health and who gets completely baffled by bushes and slows.

Bots aren't a game. Bots are a snoozefest.
