Could we have some new AI bots please?

We currently have around 50 champions who can be used as bots in Custom and Coop VS AI games, but apart from Lucian, we haven't seen any new bots in a while. Perhaps we could add a couple more champions to the AI roster?

Example Champions that would work easily: Velkoz Vel'Koz is a very basic mage, he'd follow basic rules akin to Brand. Jinx Jinx would work similarly to Ashe. Nami Nami would play similarly to Sona.

Quite a few ADCs would work rather simply, since Graves and Lucian bots already know how to dive, characters like Vayne would work in a similar way. The same applies to basic mages. Even champions like Braum can borrow from current AI bots

The biggest issues are for champions who are naturally very mobile or have hard to use mechanics that players struggle with. That being said, Annie bots manage to work alright with Tibbers, so it probably doesn't need too much tweaking for Syndra or Oriana to be able to control their balls. While invisibility champions should be avoided (since technically bots know where you are no matter what, they just ignore you), even hyper mobile champions like Kassadin could theoretically be introduced, as his ultimate is just a glorified flash and intermediate bots already know how to use flash.

At the very least, it'd be nice to see a few more faces when playing with bots.

Thank you.

I strongly agree. When you're first starting out, you go in to pvp and see champions you encountered as bots and have an idea how to play against them. Or you see a champion you've never played and they just face wreck you.

Would also be nice to see an advanced level of ai. Doom bots had 1, 2, and 5 bombs, so I think the 5 bomb bots without the doom abilities would probably be harder than intermediate bots (but it's really hard to compare, so I could be wrong).

I feel like you shouldn't be getting too comfortable playing vs ai, no matter how much you excel at vs ai it's still not the same as playing with humans. adding more bot characters just seems like a way to please people who avoid playing pvp at all
