Really, when you take the "it's just bots" approach, you're not making a point. What makes normal, non-ranked games so special? Yeah, there more people playing at once on PvP, but, really, that doesn't make it better. Computers and humans react vastly different to situations. AI tends to run at the appropriate times, and they don't get psyched out when you're the rapestick -- they still try to kill you (and rather succeed).

For my Elo, at least, Intermediate matches are harder than PvP, assuming my PvP team is worth anything. I can scare off the people, and they tend to build poorly, while the bots build really well, forcing me to make more solid build decisions.
