Maybe it's time for another level of Co-op vs. AI difficulty?

Perhaps bots that check bushes, set down wards, jungle, know how to meta, know when to turret dive etc.? And no, no turret dives like the way Rammus bot does, like for real, bots are dumb but Rammus bot is a whole nother level of dumb for some reason.

Maybe it's a bad idea, but I personally really enjoy AI games (Mainly because it almost never has people being toxic, and people are more likely to complement than to insult).

Bots that jungle would be really hard to code. But yeah after doing AI games long enough you start to memorize ways to abuse their bad AI.

If they can't make them jungle, atleast have them group up for objectives like dragon or baron. Its been proven riot can code this since the doom bots actually did these objectives.

But the main thing i'd like to see is alot more variety in champion picks for them. We have a decent enough number in the mode, but there could be more.

Some would be hard to do, but other less complex ones would be doable. (Fiora Gragas Gangplank) While others likeShaco Yasuo Thresh would be much harder to code as bots.

It takes like 4 minutes just to get 5 people for an intermediate bots game. The only reason i'd want better bots would be to do things alone in customs, and even then it makes much more sense to practice stuff against real people.

know how to meta

The meta is a player thing for efficiency and a baseline for strangers to base teams off.

Hell, I've even seen mid lane against Galio as Garen, won bot lane as Fiora, and Quinn top lane is theoretically "not-meta." The meta should not be enforced, because it is constantly changing. The meta is the effect, and the cause is the players, from a noob to LCS pros (AP Tryndamere had to start somewhere, you know).

As long as you leave the dominion difficulty as is. I'd hate to be trashed by the bots there even more frequently. o.0

Dominion bots could use more diversity in teamcomps though, I'm getting tired of seeing 3 tanks + a tanky mage + a single adc.

Bots which do more of the strategic stuff would be really cool though.

Intermediate bots do ward bushes if they think you're in there, so they can attack you.
