Riot, is it possible to update this game mode or to add another difficulty where the AI actually Jungles and team fights plus goes for objectives such as the Dragon and Barron? I feel this may help players prepare for PvP and better test builds before going into solo que.
I know there was an AI game mode that did this recently. I walked in on Shyv and Ziggs doing Dragon.
Either I dreamed that it was intermediate bots, or it was DOOM bots. I know it happened, so I know the coding is there.
higher difficulty bots would be great. Intermediate bots aren't really as satisfying, but pvp is so intimidating.
No, I would enjoy having the option to choose jungler AI bots, though.
Riot has said they've prototyped jungling bots and they just feed horribly. Real human players can't consistently figure out good times to take Dragon/Baron and you think Riot can slap together some AI that would do better?
It would take a massive overhaul of the AI system to have a chance -- it would have to actually "understand" (to some extent) global pressure and vision control, and be sneaky and unpredictable enough to gank real players without constantly walking right into counter-ganks. It would be a huge project for something that would likely have niche appeal among their playerbase, and I'm sure it would require a lot more server-side CPU time to run such bots even if they could make it work.
Doom Bots took dragon, but they were hardcoded to just teleport there and nuke it down. They didn't really have any intelligence about it, it was just hardcoded (and they cheated and teleported there rather than actually setting up roaming opportunities, warding, etc.)
pvp is to stressful, honestly harder ai would be more rewarding. the tougher the ai, the more it forces a person to stop and think. plan new ways to attack and could probably, help bridge the gap between player vs ai and pvp. give us ai that makes us think on the move, makes us learn new tactics and beats them into our heads. with more of a challenge we could in a way become better at the game and go into pvp with confidence. riot you have the tools make it happen.
