League of Legends ‘Rise of the Bot Army’ update to bring co-op vs AI improvements


Good news for you League of Legends players who prefer to play against bots: Riot Games announced today that League of Legends‘ co-op vs. AI mode will be getting quite a bit of an overhaul in an upcoming patch.

The current co-op vs. AI mode only has a selection of 14 bots to play against, but the upcoming ‘Rise of the Bot Army’ update will expand that roster up to 40. That’s not all, though–all of the game’s bots, new and old, will have their AI improved significantly, and the recently-introduced ‘Dominion’ game mode will be playable in co-op vs. AI.

In an interview with Joystiq, Riot said that their original intent with League of Legends‘ co-op vs. AI mode was to be a tutorial of sorts for new players that didn’t want to dive right into competitive gameplay. Much to their surprise, they discovered that co-op vs. AI was being used by players of all sorts of skill levels.

“One thing that kept coming up was the majority of the people who play League of Legends will play, every week, at least one co-op vs. AI game,” senior producer Mark Norris told Joystiq. “And it’s actually the primary game mode for a surprisingly large percentage of players.”
