Bots


 * Not to be confused with or Doom Bots

The term Bot in League of Legends refers to computer controlled opponent (AI - Artificial Intelligence) available in custom games and Co-op vs. AI matches. Bots can have either "beginner" or "intermediate" AI.

On January 24, 2012, it was announced that the bot system would be expanded with more bots, better intelligence and availability on the Crystal Scar. On February 1, 2012, the system was released.

On April 15, 2014, an update to the bot AI was released, primarily improving threat evaluation and the ability to dodge skillshots, as well as updating the item builds used.

Uses
Bots can be used for:
 * Practicing against or learning how to play a new Champion;
 * Filling in for missing players to even out teams;
 * Leisurely play for those who do not want to experience such competition between summoners;
 * New players who want to familiarize themselves with the game (champions, maps, items, item builds, champion skills, strategies etc.) before competing with other summoners.
