Does anyone else miss the old Bots and their scaling?

Just wondering if anyone else misses the way bots used to, every once in a while, pose a challenge. When I first started playing there would be the occasional (though rare) time that bots would win. Now playing on intermediate after level 6 they just hug the turrets and fall farther and farther behind on gold. Most games don't last longer than 25 minutes unless several people purposely do something silly (play weak champions with weak builds like ad galio, taric anything) and that's mostly because the turrets not the champions take time to take down.

I know the option to play against people is always there, but for my brother and I, the stress free bot game is the way to go. I'm hoping that if riot sees posts like this one they'll consider improving their A.I.'s. It seems strange that the old bots before they upgraded them were harder to beat then the current turret hugging cowards.

Cheers

Nightmare bot AI needs to be a perm thing. Nightmare bots were hard to beat because of their cheaty AI and their unique OP skills

The old bots were much more aggressive, but good players wrecked them by baiting them into bad engages. Now they actually play safe when you're ahead.

You could make them harder by just giving them absurd stat buffs and even more free gold, but I'm not sure it would really be all that fun. Wasn't really a fan of Nightmare.

Majorly improving their AI would make things more interesting, but it's hard. Like, really really hard.
