Jungle Bots

One of the challenges of being a newer player is that I cannot practice my jungle skills without actually playing against other people. That is unfair to my team who is playing to win and not to train a noob. Why can't a new, beefed-up level of bots be created? They could jungle, they could actually use the Thresh lantern to escape, etc. Playing co-op against such bots would not be a "guaranteed" win and maybe should be worth a few more IP. Having "advanced bots" would help us hone our skills so that more people will be willing to be the jungler.

Teaching aka programming bots to jungle would be very hard. Right now bots do not understand jungle camps at all. They are targets that are never in sight or ever a threat.

Problems overcoming this would include. Bots understanding optimal jungle routing Program for counter jungle/ invades logic of when bots should and should not try for dragon barron. When to gank and not to gank if and when should pass off buffs. warding

in doom bots they would gather and take dragons but in doom bots any one of them could easily do it. Overcoming the listed problems is quite hard unless you just to punish the people playing bots for every mistake. then it becomes quite simple
