Thanks to the internet I discovered LoL and thought it would be a great laugh to get all my mates together and just mess around. Where passed the point of messing around now and would all like to get better, were at the point where we can thrash beginner bots even to the point of taking 15 minutes but when we move up to intermediate we struggle a lot, We have won before but it was very very close.
So just asking to community if you have any ideas, tip or tricks about playing against intermediate bots.

Thanks alot

It's intermediate bots...<_<
IMO, bots is a wast of time except for a few cases. It helps you test a jungle route and lets you see how well you kill once you get fed.
Just start playing PvP. That's the only real way to improve honestly.

To be honest, if you can't beat intermediate bots, there's something really wrong. Don't play against bots to learn, they're completely ******ed and the way they get items just completely breaks the game. It doesn't simulate actually play at all. When I play a bot game, I do it to test out a build or to familiarize myself with a character, not to learn.
Play normals. You'll be matched with people who are your skill level and you'll learn the ins and outs of playing against other people. If you can't beat other people, there's no real point in playing this game. You don't graduate from bots to people. You start playing against people from the beginning and slowly pick up tips. I'm assuming you're under level 10. If you're not I pray for your immortal soul.

Please play normals. It's for your own good; you'll probably end up matched with people way above your skill level if you wait until high levels.

Like people are saying, bots can only teach you the very basics. In my experience it's almost impossible to lose to them unless your team has several leavers.

Normal games are much, much more fun than playing bots anyway.

If your account level is too high up just create a new account and start playing normals.
They should be around your skill level, and if they're smurfs (People that use noob accounts that already have a high level one) don't fret, they shouldn't be there anyways and just play like you usually do. You'll learn anyways. :P

To be honest, Bot games are not a good way at all to test your skill, like it has been said bots is more of a way to test out an item build or familiarize yourself with that new character you just got. Start playing in 5v5's and with your friends you should get a better grip on how the game actually operates, I used to play against bots when I first started playing because this was my firt MOBA game ever but after fighting in 5v5's you get practice and will eventually come out of your shell and become a better player. It's all about practice and nothing more, try reading some team comp guides and learn the mechanics find a character that suites that role and you are able to play them relatively well. Then you should be well on your way to some victories.
