Current state of bots in custom games since the release of patch 14.18

Hello! We are fixing this asap. We fixed it on PBE but it was unfortunately missed on pickup to live! I will write here when I have confirmed it has rolled out to live.

Thank you for flagging and we appreciate your feedback!

EDIT: This should be fixed on live regions now. Thank you again for letting us know

Yep yep, shout out to u/eyounan for flagging to us on the PBE forum, your feedback is always appreciated.

This issue should be fixed on live now!

Hello! Currently, all Custom Game bots are available in Co-Op versus AI, though the rate they show up might be different as our team comp builder picks champs at random based on their lane and role. :)

Hello! Feel free to include what you see as experiential issues (or even wishlists of what you want to see more of!) over in the PBE Subreddit as we review all of those as a team for backlog and prioritization We really appreciate players who write out their pain points or wishlists of what they wish the bots do.

Right now, our team owns the New Player Experience systems so a lot of our current focus is on improving the new player experience for players level 1-10. So while we are frequently improving the bots, it is with a lens of helping new players learn League. (For example, bots are way too difficult right now for new players so prioritizing ways to reduce their difficulty.)

Long way to say, yes we as a team are actively working on the bot improvements -- but probably not on features that would be heavily noticeable to custom game mains, co-op versus AI mains, or active players who enjoy a co-op versus AI every now and then. Though we are capturing requests from these groups as ideally once we shore up more of the experience for new players, we can start looking to pushing up the difficulty for the bots for those groups!
