Heed these two simple warnings. It will help make our GD a better place. Consider this fair notice to all users. Warning will be dished out this patch. Thanks. Neo, 31.01.12 |

ignoring harass there is a good way to die pretty fast imo

160+ is about right for 20 minutes. 200 by then is pretty rare even at really high levels.

i find my cs getting lower as i play in higher level games because there's constant need to join the team to control objectives and such, and just more action in general, even though my cs'ing skill is the same or higher since i started

-_-;; - diaf.
tbh that's why I said "role". A Graves isn't THAT far from an Ashe or a Caitlyn when it comes to this aspect of the game. A Riven and an Irelia aren't that far from each other. Yes, individual champions will need individual work on certain aspects, but for farming roles I'd say you only have melee AD / AP / ranged AD.
Learning how to farm better with one of those 3 will improve farming on all champs in that category (and most likely the other categories as well). I don't believe anyone who says he doesn't farm as well because he is mechanically incapable of it, it is most likely a poor distribution of focus. - Something you can get rid of very easily with focussed practice.

The new bots are not hard at all. They're also really buggy. Sometimes they'll just stand still and let you kill them without fighting back.
edit: Apparently I didn't refresh and thought I was still on page 14. My bad. 
another edit: I usually get 140-150 CS by 20 minutes on AP or AD carry. Sometimes will have 170-180 if I'm dominating the lane. Thanks for making me feel better about myself TL.

Thank you for calling my advice stupid without giving proper reasoning, that will help the discussion along!
If you want to improve at a single specific task you should put your entire focus on only that task. Playing a game where you ONLY watch the minimap at the cost of your farming and harass, then playing a game where you ONLY focus on farming and then playing a game where you ONLY focus on harassing is the proper strategy to improve those specific skills.
Trying to improve all those 3 aspects at the same time is something you can start with once the individual skills are up to the level where you want them.
Integretation of different skills into a larger skillset is something entirely different than improving on those skills individually.

I find the exact opposite, the better the people are the longer and more stable the laning phase lasts, leading to more CS.
In 1100 ELO games nobody has any idea how to trade damage or play safe. Lanes rapidly feed 3-4 kills, destabilize, and one side loses tower etc....
Also bad players have no idea when to engage and will go in 4v5 etc so even if I'd rather stay in my lane and CS I have to go walk with them just to avoid losing consecutive retarded teamfights

It's actually quite interesting having played with both Monte and T_D frequently. I find Monte plays more like OddOne (more of a support jungler) while Two_Down plays extremely similarly to SV (carry jungler, only ganks when it's worth it).
Playing A LOT with T_D, I've learned to be stronger and exchange better in lane. He needs to be able to rely on me to hold my lane well without ganks, and I need to rely on him to help the derpy solo q-ers win their lanes. When either of us struggle or fail, it's extremely evident in the turn out of the game.

zzz I know.
For me it's like "then you suddenly play any random AP, lose 200 elo, decide that you didn't want to play that role anyway and stop playing them" =D

Yeah, they as weak as the old ones. Supposedly they making expert bots that are harder and use a jungler though.
That being said, Cass is kind of a scary bot. lol.

He's talking from a personal perspective though. At lower elo, you can afford to stay in lane longer because there is a lack of early dragons and counterjungling.
High levels, everyone has better CS'ing skills but there's also a lot more time spent out of lane for team objectives. So better CS skills doesn't always translate to more CS.

Jungler would be good just so new players or bad players (who are the primary users of AI games imo) can get used to there being a jungler. I've got like 80+ AI games just playing with some of my friends who "want to try out a new champ" or something and it's just always a roll because the bots just go full on aggressive and then take free harass.
It'd be nice if they could implement truly challenging bots so that when I play with my friends who "aren't ready for a real game with this champion!" I can at least have fun. Still, it's really hard to create AI for a game like LoL or other RTS games that aren't incredibly predictable and thus really easy to beat.
