Warning, reading ahead:
So, I did indeed play the game mode, but before I discuss what actually occurred I will talk about what I heard before playing against the bots.
Some people had talked about how easy it was, while others found difficulty. I suppose this would be expected with player skill levels and all, even some ranked players struggled. Also I had heard that it wasn't very fun either. I'm not so sure myself whether I enjoyed it or not, but feel free to let me know if you did or not.
Anywho, I did my first game as
Braum, and decided to just go tanky. My lane partner, Lucian and I went up against a Zyra and Amumu the first thing I noticed about what was different was the music and how dark it was. I came to deal with the different brightness, and found that the bots were pretty easy, just that they had op powers... Also, when they did dragon, there was almost nothing you could do about it, but they never did Baron.
My second game as Lux (I supported mostly at the start, but ended up being AP) was with a Corki bot lane against an Annie and Fiddlesticks. The bots difficulty didn't seem to change, but their powers were immense and difficult to cope with. Luckily, we won thanks to our Corki and Zigg's backdooring, which seems to be one of the only ways to win against these bots.
I have not, however, done the fifth level, and am excited to do so. Let me know what you guys thought and what you think should be changed about it.

The funniest part of the game though was when I told my team to go for dragon, and I was the closest to it, just wanting to ward it and wait for my team to get there. I nearly get into range to place the ward, and a TF ult pops up in front of me. Next thing I know, ALL OF THE BOTS ARE RAINING HELL DOWN ONTO ME. I dont last long, obviously. But yeah, seeing the entire enemy team pop up in front of you is terrifying and hilarious all at the same time.
We end up winning due to our jungler (Master Yi) and Caitlyn backdooring them. If Riot had given these bots map awareness, then it would be far more of a challenge, but perhaps they decided to leave that out that way you have some way of winning against them.
Melee champs aren't too bad to play as, seeing as how they have many splitpushers in that category (e.g. my game as Yasuo, or champs like Yi/Shaco), but early game will be very passive indeed.
It's fun though, really fun. You get to have some ***** and giggles whilst you backdoor for the win since teamfighting vs these bots is theoretically impossible... 7 heca ults followed by 7 janna tornadoes followed by a gigantic tibbers stun followed by
touhou boss'sviktor's lasers in your face in to a giant amumu ult whilst being run over by voidlings and eating 4 or 5 ez ults in the face... yeah, you get what I mean.It's a great relaxation thing imo. You get to have fun while not being bored to death since you have a bit of a challenge.
Tbh they should add a mode in which you can only pick melee champs, gl!
