I think it would be really fun if Riot put one intermediet intermediate bot, or maybe even a more advanced bot, in the ranked queue just to see how far it could climb.

They could even have a 24/7 stream on it showing the progress. Have donations on it where viewers can put messages that the bot will type in the in-game chat(obviously moderated/filtered). Any real player that loses a game with the bot on their team is prevented from losing LP or promotion matches to keep the bot from ruining ranks for them.

I'm sure there are tons of other downsides in doing it but I still think like it would be a fun thing to see.

Cheers!

I remember that at the time, after they improved some champion's AI they had to make cassio bot more stupid becaue she was a monster lmao.

IIRC it was that Cassio Q was unmissable if you had perfect aim with instant reflexes. Turns out that's a pretty crappy gameplay experience lol.

I'm honestly super curious as well. Make a team of mechanically amazing AI's (take off the built-on constraints) and don't spend time trying to make them smarter. Let them play premade 5s ranked flex and go to town. They'd be a rare enough part of the population that you wouldn't be able to read into it on the other end. Most players would probably never know.

They'd probably end up top 10% just from forced surrenders and tilt because they'd be ABSURDLY good laners. Jungling would be hard though.
