Bot Mode needs changing

Hello, I am new to the forum and been playing the game a little over a year, so still learning a bit. I just wanted to make a mention about bot mode, and how people learn from it. There should be settings to allow players to set which champs go to which lane, set a jungler, and change the behavior of the lanes/jungle. For example, should be able to add a jungle champ and select how their ganks are, as in heavy ganks, light ganks, or such. There isn't really a way to have them control drag or baron, but you could add in buff steals or things like that. There has to be a way to do this. There also needs to be a more realistic way to play bots, to allow better learning for people, besides norms, especially so they can play new lanes and champs they want. Me going into bot mode to learn a new champ is pretty useless, since they chase heavily, and are terrible at how they farm. You can easily win a bot match, even on hardest mode, without dying. There should be a way to modify lane behavior and make them more unpredictable.

Jungle bots aren't a thing partially because the AI literally doesn't understand what a wall is. That alone would require an overhaul of AI behavior, which is something they did this past year (or so) so probably won't be doing it again any time soon.

Bots need to learn to adapt build. I've been doing 1v5 custom games to check my pings/FPS, and what I'm noticing is tanks building completely useless resistance items.

When I was going full AP, I saw them building Randuin's, and when I was going full AD I saw them building spirit visage. This needs to change.

Understandable, however, there should be something they can do to add bots to be more challenging, or even mock other play styles. Basically the only way to learn a champ is watching other people play it, who you may not even have the skill to match, or play with other people which can make it harder for you to learn, due to their lack of skill.

Considering how absolutely toxic people become in Normals, I completely agree that Bots needs a rework.

I noticed the builds on bots being terrible as well, not to mention they just constantly auto minions, the auto attacking would be difficult to correct, but then you can easily bait them, they chase way too hard. The lvl of AI needs to increase, or even have a system that mocks you and learns from you playing bots, therefor getting harder and harder, but that may be too much to ask
