Regarding Co-Op Bot Games

Would it be possible for these bots to be extremely hard? Often i will do some bot games to test out new champions but there is no point in it when everyone just snowballs the hell out of it. Its impossible to accurately test a jungle champ, by the time you could finish one item all 3 outter towers are down. If you go to lane and want take your time then bot or mid will have 2 towers down and nearly ready to end the game around the 10 minute

You can easily go 1vs2 top lane with ease as well. Its a joke.

I just dont get why people join bot games so they can rush end it in 14-17 minutes. Very frustrating. Most bot games 1 or 2 people will end with about 20-30 kills, its just stupid to me. Their is no point other then bidding your time owning retarded bots.

If you cant increase their AI then at least make then super tanky/damage, give them more starting gold. Make them ward bushes. If they see an enemy go into a bush dont automatically forget they ever existed. I know they will sometimes chase you in if you are low health. They are extremely easy to bait.

Maybe im wrong and bot games are their for people to feed their ego. If so job well done.

id like to see a hard/expert co-op vs AI, since we already have beginner and intermediate. give them a jungler, better AI, better csing. i like to test out new champions a time or two in bots but the game ends before i can finish 2 items + boots which is definitely not in line with how a real game normally plays out.

I usually went bots to practice farming as adc but recently it did turn into a snowball lets end it by 10 min games.

They could up the stats of the bots, but that makes it unrealistic and not good for practice (since you won't get a true idea of strength/weakness).

Improving the intelligence of bots would be great, but that is obviously a challenge. (I was actually happy when i saw "Advanced bot testing", until I realised it was a prank :/ )

most the people i know play bots as a time waster when they are waiting on a friend to finish a game or to get on...

if its upsetting you enough to make a boards post why not make a custom game and try to 1v5 the bots...

Sounds like something I was thinking of just yesterday, actually. The biggest problem would be keeping the bots "in meta", so to speak. They'd have to have viable runes, masteries, strategies, and build paths.

I have done 1 vs 5 bots a time or two and won. Its a challenge but not realistic.

if no one posts about upgrading the horrible bots then they will stay that way forever, so i see no point in your statement.

I guess i could use the new practice tool and just feed the enemy to get a challenge.
