hard bots

pretty sure this is the right board for this. as a player who has probably spent way too many games playing bots, i believe that intermediate bots are pretty unrealistic to play against. the bots won't team fight unless they are fed. the bots always duo top (which can be good for learning how to play defensively in top lane but allows free reign of the jungle if you're jungling which is highly unlikely in pvp and results in you learning little when jungling against bots). the bots almost always pick specific champions into a champion you pick (ryze into malzahar for example). they're also incredibly effective at stun-locking players because coordination is easier for bots. If it's possible, i'd be interested in a game mode where bots play more realistically. having one bot in the jungle. having bots roam if they get fed. we already know they ward the bush you're in when you're recalling so warding probably doesn't need a change for bots. i'd just like a higher difficulty of bots where they play more like people so you can learn how to jungle or top against realistic opponents without worrying too much about letting down your team if you suck the first few times. I have no idea how hard this would be to code, so if anyone with some knowledge of that could provide insight on whether riot could implement this (assuming that people actually want a difficulty of bots between intermediate and doom bots) that would be appreciated. Feel free to post suggestions. if you support or disagree with this, don't just upvote or downvote, please post why when/if you do. ater all, this is a discussion board.

I think we need to keep roaming/jungling out of bots. The bots are there as a teaching tool; they aren't designed to be lost unless you mess up horrendously. Adding that will just frustrate new players. I don't think I placed a single ward until level 12. Skills like map awareness and ward placing are things that take time to develop. The point of the bots is to master the general logistics of the game.

thanks for the response. i do agree with your point for intro-intermediate bots. However, my idea was to add another difficulty of bots beyond intermediate for players who want to learn things in a way that's more realistic than the intermediate bots. if i remember correctly, bots in s3 would start to gank or group bot lane if you got a 5-7 kill spree and i think they still do that now. maybe the hard bots could have a minimum level or number of pvp games played in order to play against them like level 20 or 30 games for example (numbers can change).

forgot to mention tower diving as an option. does anyone know if this would be a pain to code assuming it's even possible?
