Bots NEED to be reworked, or made better, because my last match...

[duskwolf0]

I palyed Sinclair on Easy Mode with Bots only, mostly because it helps me get used to a character and explore the map in quick time and I don't have the graphics capacity to be useful in a public match just yet, but I couldn't help but notice something in this match and couple around it....
The Bots WILL NOT help you. Every SINGLE time I would get into Battle on a Main Lane, or join my team, even if they all had full health with Ultimates ready, they would ALL LEAVE, and I would be left alone to get teamed up by the entire other team, and if I was lucky, I'd get one kill because they were already so low health by the time I got there.
An Easy Bot Match will always result in a Victory, even if you do nothing, because I was so annoyed with the Bots leaving me alone to die that I just sat I spawn looking everything over and after like 3 minutes, I zip-line to a track where ALL of my team is: The second I land, my team leaves, the entire enemy team swarms and kills me instantly.
Bots need a serious rework because WHY are they running away when YOU are trying to help? It literally makes no sense and if the biggest game throw, which by the way shouldn't really happen in EASY MODE.

It might be an easy mode thing. I dont feel like the bots do this on hard. which is how I usually play bots

Honestly, not even sure if I wanna try Hard mode. Just went through my first Medium Bot Mode, not only did the Bots STOP halfway through and just stand still, the power creep on the other side was insane, I would solo two of their walkers just to catch up and be 5k souls behind, and then 5 seconds later was 12k souls behind. I don't mind a challenge, but the JUMP from Easy to "Medium" doesn't feel like a fair increase in difficulty

The bots just STAY in lane they soak a lot of xp if you arent hard carrying. I cant play bots as a support because you cant just team wipe them.

imo the bots do have some major flaws which become more and more obvious on hard difficulty too. their priorities often seem very misaligned.
- towerdiving you with no chance to kill (and dying)
- "running away from you" towards your own tower if you're behind them
- continuing random lane pushes/minor fights while you are slowly taking their shrines
- going on urn run and just running straight past you even while you shoot/cc them (not turning around/running away/dropping the urn to fight back. they might be completely unable to drop the urn)
they hold up decently well in earlygame (assumedly because they are cheating in stats/souls) but fall off hard in mid-late due to nonsense behavior
