Nice guide and I agree with you that bot games are a lot of fun.

I would not dare play a normal game with my wife. She is new to PC gaming and the to be expected slaughter would be too frustrating for her. Bots are predictable, hence she can adapt and learn the ropes.

After many a bot game I have come to be an expert on those idiots i guess. I'll share some thoughts on your observations for coop easy and intermidiate:

-I never saw a bot jungle. They cross the jungle but never actually kill anything unless they attack it by accident (sunfire cape/ encounter with player)

-They never get baron or dragon. They only get the junglebuffs by killing a player.

-The AI gains items by TIME not by farmed gold. This has huge implications! You cannot feed annie, she gets her build regardless of her success/failure. I realized this when the bots used healthpotions in lane and never went back to base to buy them...

-The bots gain at the exactly same time the exactly same items in every game.

-The bots will not only roam or teamfight, also sometimes they switch lanes permanently. The pattern seems to be rather random.

-Sometimes games don't go well because of leavers/afkers/unbelievable bad players. Since you are reading this on mobafire you likely already are above the curve. So the game seems lost and you want to turn it around? There is an almost failsave way to do it: Backdooring! The AI is ****tastic when it comes to towerpushing through a single player. Just hoard everyone at the friendly base and defend as good as possible and take a strong AD character to push their base. Often they will not respond at all and you can win. If there is no player on your team who has the brains to run away when an enemy shows up in their base... do it yourself, sell your **** and go AD. I don't care if you are Zilean or Anivia, it works!

-Towergames: The AI will always consider you a target if you stand in front of the tower. The AI will not consider you a target if you stand behind the tower (unless you have HP under 15%).

-The AI can be baited into caitlyn/nidalee/Teemo traps in front of a tower if you have low HP. That kill is so easy i would consider it an exploit ^^

-The AI has a priority list. Whoever is on top of this list gets focusfired. This list is primarily hero specific. That means in a lane if you and another player are in range the bots will always always always attack the same player over and over again no matter how tanky that dude is and how squishy you are.

haha ^^ There are a lot of guides out there, Lazukin that are just for fun in the wrong way, and I guess it's fine if this gets downvoted. It's not a build I'd use in a real game, not even a pro Nidalee would use this build for fear of dying and losing stacks :P

Thanks for the +1!

+1, I actually didn't know about the 200hp part, just assumed it was at like 15% or something.

Why -1 this? It's for fun D:

Haha :) Thanks for the positive comment. It is for fun, I think people are afraid it might climb the ladders and become a top guide. Then people might try and use it in Ranked games or something haha.

Also, I'm a she :3

Upvote if you like :D

This just doesn't deserve to be downvoted. He even says its for fun only -.-

Well actually, there are reasons to play against Co-Op vs AI or Custom games.

1) To learn/train with a champion (no one wants to hear in a Normal or Ranked game, "First time Janna", "I hope I do well, I haven't played Jax in months".)

2) To play with friends who are lower levels/higher levels. No one wants to play with a level 30 in a Normal game if they're level 5. It's unfair to everyone *but* the level 30.

3) To play modes like ARAM, as LoL currently doesn't support gameplay like that.

4) To farm IP. 60IP for a winning match stacks up pretty quickly with Bot games, and they're fun because you're owning bots.

5) Practising in Co-Op vs AI - the AI is more competent and gives you a better idea if you can play a champion well.

6) Bot/AI games are fun. You can test crazy builds, you can muck around and feed, you can do anything, and you won't be penalised for it.

While yes, there probably isn't a reason to put up a build aimed particularly at bots/AI games, I thought, "Why the hell not?" There are plenty of guides about Nidalee. It's not like this guide will rise up the ranks. It's just here for a reference.

Thanks for your input though.

Tank ashe actually isnt to bad because she doesnt die as much but i dont like this build no reason to do bots man

:) Yeah I know. But I just wanted to share. At least it's more productive than a troll guide, or something like "Tank Ashe!" :P

Well written guide but for me a 'bot counter' guide is pointless :p

Haha yeah, bots are pretty fearless :) Thanks for the positive comment!

Well written guide on an anti-bot build.

I seriously see those bots dive hardcore when you'r on really low health, like suicidal dives at lower levels they don't seem afraid to take a tower hit or two.

That's a great idea, Laser321. I'll write up a quick section on it now :)
