"The Intermediate difficulty provides challenging bots"

That would be nice!

{quoted}

I'd like "expert" bots for the increased IP & more challenge, I generally play bots for the 1st Win of the Day, or if I'm very new to a champion, or just want to take it easy.

Would be nice if they adjusted the dodging in Intermediate a bit so you can land certain skillshots a bit more reliably to have more realistic practice (since it's often the case they use their super-human [computer] reflexes to sidestep a lot of abilities). It's funny to see 5 of them bunched up and they all sidestep a skillshot at the same time. If they had to increase the automatic gold income, and give them free exp to compensate I'd be okay with that.

Perhaps they could keep Intermediate mostly the same, but make the "expert" mode a lot more advanced. Not sure what the limitations are for bots (code-wise).

Would be nice if the AI could be considerably more intelligent in a lot of situations, I'm not sure how much time/energy/money has actually been spent on making them worthy adversaries for those who want to practice for PvP, and actually perform relatively competently when they start it. Might avoid 5%+ of the toxicity they might otherwise encounter. :)

Bots dodge skills just teach you to time/plan out your skill shots. Ever play Blitzcrank against bots? It seems damn near impossible to land a grab on them unless you know what you are doing. Try timing your skill shots for when an enemy temporarily roots themselves via launching an auto attack or launches a spell. That gives you enough of a window to land your skill shots. It even works in PvP too. The only champ this strategy does not work on is Kalista. Try it out next time you play a bot game.

I had like 200 bot wins before I started norms (real people so scare!)

Well, they WERE challenging back when I was a new player.

It goes easy bots --> intermediate --> actual players. There's a point where if you're still playing bots, maybe a competitive game like LoL is not for you.

Beginner bots are definitely a guaranteed win regardless of skill level. Those matches are rigged so you can'take lose. But I know you're wrong on the PvP players being worse than intermediate bots. I have made many new accounts so I can tell you that prior to level 15 the genuine first time first account players in PvP are worse than intermediate bots. They aren't exploitable repeatedly like the bots are but their mechanics, knowledge and overall mechanics of the game are far lower. After 20 though the average player with the help of runes is able to consistently beat intermediate bots. Actual players aren'the as predictable as bots but they don't get better until nearly hitting level 20.

And no need to shame people who play bots. People play bots for various reasons, so you shouldn't assume a person is a bad player just because they play bots. I play bots, and play bots exclusively on days I have work. I play bots because I don't want to inconvenience any teammates if I have to leave early in a PvP game because my job is calling me in early. I play bots because the times I am most happy playing this game are when I am teaching new players. And I play bots because a majority of the players in there are not toxic and enjoyable to talk to and joke around with. I do play PvP. I actually have a positive win record in every single mode I play with 54% being my lowest win ratio. I'm not bad at the game so you can throw that misconception you have about bots players out the window.

Master Yi Bot is basically a player.
