Co-Op Versus AI
Added Blitzcrank bot to the roster of bots in Co-Op versus AI.
Improved bots' ability to last hit and reduced how much they push their lanes.

Added the ability for bots to call for help from nearby bots.
Improved the precision of skill shots and ground targeted AoE abilities.
Minor bug fixes with Leona, Lux, and Shyvana bots.

My Initial Thoughts:

  1. No Shen nerfs. There's been a lot of speculation over the last two weeks as to whether Shen was overbuffed in the last patch, and at least so far it seems Riot doesn't think so.
  2. Teemo Buffs. I'm not sure he needed them in the first place, but the change on noxius traps seems like it could be pretty big in dueling situations.
  3. Madred's Bloodrazor is good again. I can see this item used in a lot more builds now, especially on bruisers that need both AD and AS, like WW.
  4. Olaf received significant buffs. Will be interesting to see if he is used more now after the patch. The movement speed buffs coupled with buffs to most of his abilities make me think he will be much more viable now.

  4. Actually, MBR's 10 damage buff won't grant this item to be much more useful than it used to be, in my opinion.

  5. "Movement Speed increased to 300 from 180
    Medium Golem base damage increased to 59 from 54"

    Doing golems on blue botlane just got so very much harder...

  6. Teemo got buffed, about time too.
    The main buff to Teemo isn't the slight changes made directly to him, the main buff for Teemo is the 10 attack damage increase on Madreds.
