We are highly aware of this work in particular and are connected with a few folks over in OpenAI. We are also keeping a strong eye on the work around Juewu has been doing in the space!

A reason we decided to pivot our technical infrastructure is to hopefully allow a future to be inclusive of a variety of bots that provide challenging and fun experiences to a wide variety of player motivations and needs. It is one of the reasons we want to take our time to ensure our structure is sound ...

There is some data, but we are working to gather a deeper analysis overall around these types of players, especially once we begin to test them out on live! I know I personally would play a lot more if I had an equitable challenge in co-op versus AI that gives me the same skill expression without the worry of a PvP experience.

Overall though, my gut feeling says if we do make overall better bots, we can also draw a lot more players to play in our co-op versus AI modes (more folks like your friends!) As the current bots get really repetitive and don't provide the variety that PvP experiences offer.

Agree to disagree on that! But regardless, a good tutorial also needs good bot tech to function.

Totally agree! I'd be much more willing to jump on (and convince my friends to jump on) if we had a way to avoid incurring the mental energy of PvP. (Or if we could just get 5 on to try something really silly, just to have fun).

This happened to me too! My friends just told me I have to lose a bunch until I "got it" and it was super painful. We are specifically trying to address this as our first major usecase so that players have a much easier ramp into PvP

Let's just say I'm a very big fan of Doombots of Doom and want to bring back the memes of surviving Annie bot 👀

We are currently working closely with the quick play team to see what the new player experience should be, whether blind pick or quick play, but our bots are being built with both routes in mind.

For the 2 week on test though, we are aiming for blind pick and when the bots are ready to roll out on production, we will adapt them to the strategy of champ select at that time.

We are building this system to be extendable to these goals and use cases!

Since this is new infrastructure, we are starting easy and scaling to other use cases once we are confident in the infrastructure.

We are adding in jungle bots :)

Unsure but thank you for flagging! We do have this as a Must requirement though for our new bots, so thank you for saying you appreciate it as it makes it an even stronger Must when we launch. :)

Please try our bots out when they come out later this year for the PBE test! We are currently aiming for helping newbies, but we do have much longer term goals that your opinion would help us influence!

Yes! We are building a much more scalable and maintainable system to ensure these kind of bugs are easy to triage and fix.

100%! I played bots until level 17 and only through sheer willpower (and the power of friendship) did I stick around long enough to learn to love League, and now it's the major reason I joined Riot.

We have a long term goal to provide challenging bots for all skill levels, since even now when I want to play, I usually want to try something fun and see if it would work out at my skill level. I think bots is an excellent opportunity to meet these types of needs. :D

Hey! Thanks for being super excited for our bots! We are super excited to make them feel great from newbie to co-op versus AI mains. :)

Contact support! Korea has some governmental implications so they might request some proof but worth while asking!

I love it!

Can't wait to see your Vi tattoo 👀

Aligned! Good art is good art 👍

This looks amazing! I'm so impressed with the application and style. :)
