Any word on harder bots yet?
Looking at the forums, it looks like players have been requesting this for years.
I'm new to LoL, not to mobas. I just unlocked Janna and I noticed that the intermed. bot AI doesn't seem to know how to handle certain champions and combinations. They kept rushing Storm'd allies and dying repeatedly in early game.
I'm not entirely sure how the bots work in LoL but it doesn't seem like they're taking advantage of simple ability combos like they could be. They seem to be great at dash+stuns+nukes (and yes, they've got the jump on me with their suicide rushes before) but other than that not so much. Also, it's their Achilles heel.
I had a similar experience in PVP blind draft. Janna seems to be great at both harass and counter-harass. I can certainly see why she is a top tier ban/pick.
It's not just a Janna lane combo though. Since the bots will predictably initiate/chase if they have a perceived champ advantage or if an enemy champ is low HP, many champs can take massive advantage of this to the point where it's just not challenging.
It's also my understanding that intermed. bots are a level 20 equivalent as far as masteries/runes. Why not level 30s? I understand that bots aren't going to give you the same experience as playing against actual people (although, sometimes the bots are actually better) but I for one, would like to see more challenging bots.
