@Riot; State of Vs AI

CaptainAntiHeroz·Jun 23, 2019·2 votes·1,676 views

I know a lot of things I say are highly controversial but as someone who likes to sometimes just chill in bot games and goof off I think it's fair to say that it's not really noob friendly. There are so many Kalista bots and Varus bots running around in VS Ai games (as PLAYERS that will run it down because win or lose the account gets xp). Plus you have the new braindead on rework 9000+ and and and and . ALL OF THOSE ARE IN BEGINNER BOTS, I've seen noobs that don't even know what there champion does, let alone know that a Taric ult makes them undamageable, or know that the lux and ashe bot know where you are even in fog of war.

A difficult but (probably effective) potential solution would be to give a mini tutorial for each champion. Sure it would take a while to implement, but at a basic level teaching people about support items on support champions, and not to buy on would be a great starting point.

Either way I feel that new players are having a hard time because of 1 being paired with bot accounts and 2 the 'Beginner' Bots.

I know its a lot to ask but as someone who wants to see league still around another 10 years down the line, I think it would be a great thing to consider. Feel free to comment down below, or up vote to bring attention to beginner struggles if you want league to be more new player friendly.

what ticks me off about vs ai isn't the feeders but the amount of idiots who think finishing game in 4 minutes is going to give them more exp

so the games always end before you could build anything

NO.

I don't want to see riot waste resources on making that, sorry. The game has been around for 10 years, there are tutorial videos for every champion in YT. If new players wanted to learn they would have seen those. + Losing to bots might teach them something. Although I don't think beginner bots can win vs human like... ever

Literally most other games do so riots just late on it seriously

I sincerely doubt most other games have a different tutorial customised around 140+ different characters.

There are much more pressing matters than creating something useless to 90% of the playerbase.

your right most games have better tutorials

That's not hard to imagine. But really, lol is so straightforward in principle, I don't see a reason for more tutorials. Co-op vs AI is tutorial territory imo.

I think it would be much more beneficial if they simply included AI missions for levels 1-30 that rewarded either XP or XP+some BE. But not the easiest missions like "get 20 kills in pve" rather

Inflict 20k damage to towers as a marksman. Or, kill an enemy in less than 4 seconds as an assassin. Or, get a double kill where none in your team got an assist as a bruiser(or as a list of specific champs, cause bruiser is controversial term)

You get the jist

yeah more incentives in general would be nice for everyone, rn at level 312 only really spend BE on new champs and stuff
