AI Items in Custom Games

Bot items in custom games are OK, but I was wondering if Riot could take it a little further. I think a cool idea would be to let the host of the custom game customize an AI Champion's build before the game begins. An AI will buy the same items in every game, so I thought if the host changed it up a little it would be better. For example, Sivir will buy a Banshee's Veil, even if all of the other team's champions are AD. Instead, you could change that to another item. That may not be the best example, but you get my point. You could put a "Customize Items" button near the difficulty setting in custom games. Thanks for reading! And if anyone has comments, please state them below. :)

Bots are controlled server-side, and i don' t know how much data will weight on them with a feature like this. Plus it would be nice, but won' t nearly compensate the bots plays ( with the IA that is set to a determinate kind of item set, think about a full AS Udyr that instead of jumping in juggles between minions while you focus the heck outta him ).

This seems like a good idea... I think you should be able to control bots a lot more. For example, it would be much better to be able to set which lane each bot goes in (before you start playing) because it's nice how the current system works, but it gets annoying when, for example, you're trying to practice supporting and you get paired up with a Shen and against a Darius and a Malzahar... This would be much better for practice. It would also allow you to try interesting things outside of the meta (like 5 mid). Think of it almost like a teambuilder setup (for the bots)... While I'm at it, I wish the bots could jungle (and leash)...

Sorry for going off on a tangent, but this seems like a fairly good place to say that...
