Bot Gameplay Suggestion

I've been playing bots mostly since joining League. I'm currently level 23 regardless of the level the forums reflect not that it makes much difference. I struck upon an idea and have been asking players not only that I'm friends with, but those I end up in game with of what they would think of a bot difficulty beyond Intermediate where the bots played similar to players. The benefits to this would allow players to get their feet wet so to speak and bridge the gap between those that generally play with bots without having to pvp allowing them to adjust to the format and giving a vague idea of what to expect. What I mean by similar to players is having a bot jungle for example with frequent ganking etc. The people that I talked to thought this was a great idea in preparation for those looking to get into the pvp matches or those that don't like to go against other players but would still like a similar format to a pvp match.

Bots aren't a priority for Riot. All Co-op vs AI games do is encourage bad gameplay and are just all around bad for the player. If all you want to do is kill stuff, then ok, bots are fine. However if you want to get better at the game (not better at killing bots) then you NEED to start playing PvP. There's nothing more annoying that people that go into ranked having only played 20-30 PvP games and playing bots to level 30. They do not understand the game at all. Playing against bots is completely different. I can play a game 1v5 intermediate bots and win, no problem. I couldnt play 1v5 against players though. It's sooooo different, I cant even words. My friend played bots until level 4 then I made him play PvP only from there. He got placed Silver 2 in his placements, however most people in bronze are people that play bots.

That gives the Unreasonable expectation of knowing what players actually do in certain situations. Require a massive AI. This would also Require Bots to follow the meta, buy meta items, and use stuff efficiently. And so far, bots can't jungle.

The only time they were really a challenge was with doom bots, and that is far from accurate play.
