Views: 1317 Endgame Defeat, Seeking Advice

We played an intermediate bot match and what could have been a challenge proved to be too overwhelming. Before I continue, I'll post the final scores.
A progressive train wreck. It started off pretty average, I'm poking at Swain and keeping him from my tower, attacking at his tower. Now, while my tower is undamaged, people elsewhere aren't doing so hot (pun unintentional). Sivir started dying at the hand of Graves. Nidalee would back off from Graves, then Sivir would run up to Graves (who is now three levels higher due to multiple deaths) and use her Q ability. Now, no one was talking and no one was being a troll. So there was no communication, period, aside from the pings I and our Jungler would lay down to try and alert. Soon after the enemy was starting to travel in packs. Popping out behind us in lanes in groups of two or more.
Multiple times our team wouldn't coordinate. If it was two on one in our favor, the one teammate would leave instead of pressing the assault.
I tried not to point fingers, so instead I offered advice to the Sivir, mostly to stay away from Graves at all cost and that the game is about towers, not kills. Regardless, we waved the white flag, we were at about 2 towers to the enemies 4 to 5 towers. So needless to say, it was looking bad.
Other things I noticed was the constant lane changing. I can understand wanted to help push then shove off, but our team was never in a consistent lane. As in, multiple team members would come into mid to help push, which is fine and all. Until people lose sight of the enemy bots.
Now if there is anything that could have been done better, please feel free to comment. I would love to see at least a Gold rank one day. Thanks in advance!

I'll start off by stating the obvious: bots cheat, they have a sixth sense, and they have no middle ground (either full ******, or "excellent" plays). They need that because otherwise, human plays are simply >>>> the ones made by AI.
You need to train your last hitting as Brand (he has a rather fluid AA animation). This way you keep up with the bots' item advantage.
Now, if I remember correctly at all (been a while since my last Co-op vs AI -game), split-pushing works quite well against bots, because they've been programmed to either come as a whole team, or one roaming single champion. Warding helps since they're very simple in their movements, and predictable.
Lastly, you had 2 tanks in your game, namely Garen and Shyvana. As a mid laner, let the bots just burn all they have on them, before engaging yourself. Positioning in very important against bots due to their instant reflexes.
Also account for the fact that they have no jungler, and herefore no objective control (I have no recollection on how they react to buffs).
Hope that helps.
