Thank you for reporting this bug! We will have a fix out soon :)

Hey are there any plans for increasing the bot roster and upgrading the ai for customs? Since they still use the old one

Custom games are currently soon.tm (like really soon). This will include adding all the current roster of Intermediate bots available in the new bot system (so more bots than what custom games currently offer).

Additional bots are coming thereafter, just on a slower timeline as we have been improving gameplay systems the bots use (Ex: Stopping early invade of jungle, improving pathing, etc.) and improving the New Player experience in Intro queue post-Vanguard (Ex: reducing the difficulty of intro bots to better suit new players, building core tech to allow for specific bots to have specific behavior expressions, etc.)

Our team also has increased ownership to that of the entire New Player Experience game systems so we are deeply learning and iterating on some ancient code in order to improve it as well. :)

PLS give us more information ,I’ve been waiting months to have the new bots in customs finally

Currently targeting next patch 14.12! Added in some features and removed tech debt alongside it that should make it easier to adjust in the future.

14.12 is Live today and sadly custom games don't have the new bots yet. Do you have an update on what's happening? I'm really excited to get new players into the game with some custom lobbies :)

It will be rolling out today in about ~6 hours to live servers. It requires a few switches to be flipped that we want to stagger out from the larger patch deployments to avoid causing noise for those teams. :)

Thanks for the great update. I got some games in and wanted to provide some Feedback:

  • The bots are a huge upgrade in the way we can tell them what to do!

  • The bots wiggle around a lot when they step into the jungle. Sometimes they even stand still completely

  • ADCs are not able to kite in any way right now which makes them very easy targets

  • Junglers seem to be very aggressive and don't care about objectives. I tried to ping an objective as well as move ping to one but they don't seem to react. Would be great to be able to have them interact with some of the players pings

  • The new intermediate bots are WAAAAY easier than the old intermediate bots which is a shame. I hope we'll get better difficulties soon. Maybe even "Iron/Bronze/Silver" etc?

All in all I want to thank you and the team for making LoL more PVE friendly!

Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate receiving the feedback from players directly to provide a better experience.

Thankfully, we are actively in development for targeting improvements to:

  • Movement & Pathing
  • Decision making (swapping between decisions)
  • Turret aggression/diving

So please look forward to that and let us know how we can continue to improve the experience as we iterate :D
