Idea for a Co-Op vs. AI Hard-Mode!

I think the 5v5 Summoners Rift Co-op vs. AI games can be fun if its a bit of a challenge. I have recently enjoyed making a low level account and playing these bot matches, when someone feeds hard, the bots actually get somewhat difficult to play against and its quite fun.

I suggest you add a harder mode, here are some ideas for making it harder, which don't require making smarter AI:

Enemy turrets get more 'items' aka buffs.

Bot team gets a passive gold increase.

Bots use wards, or rather if its easier to program, wards appear for the bot team in some pre-determined positions, somewhat randomly.

And a bonus idea for making it +2 awesome:

Create some generic grey robot skins for the bot champs which could be unlocked only through playing and winning this mode Maybe some sort of token for each win, and the skins cost tokens or something like that. That obviously would be a bit more work, but +2 awesome, come on.

i like the first two. and i wouldn't mind the bots getting more vision, but i can't remember how the medium bots re-act to seeing a champion like that. still that could be fun.

Intermediate bots can be difficult when fed, but they are still too dumb. Once as Singed I was able to just run away down the lane from Brand while dumping poison and he followed me until he died...

I'm personally curious about just how strong they could make a bot without actually cheating. As in, no free gold, no vision hacks. I'd be willing to bet they could make bots a lot stronger than they currently are, but don't because playing against those doesn't feel "fair", however beatable they may be. I know for instance that they make Karthus bot occasionally screw up his ult without player intervention, rather than ulting with unerring precision to get a kill.

It's hard to say just how good a bot could get at skillshots. I'd bet pretty good, especially if they could figure out a way for it to learn from the opponent's movements. Syndra bot, properly made, could be brutal. Other champions with precise ranges and combos could also probably be stronger than they are now. Ryze bot, I suspect, could become a monster. That also goes for some of the ADC bots. If they didn't make such stupid builds.

If Riot does have internal versions of superbots, I'd love to see them see the light of day. Perhaps as one of the rotating mini-modes, like that One For All thing was? Electric Empire: Get your face shoved in on SR by hard-mode bots.
