They should just do like Smite. Basically, you can make a 'loadout' by having items that you prefer to buy, mostly for convenience. Instead of going to the magical power tab and finding the item, you can just have favorite items (I forgot what they called it since it's been so long), and you can easily go to that. I think they need to do like that, but with slight differences. You should be able to have make an item shop loadout for Io like say:

On Io, I don't like to buy Chronos, yet bot supports rush it. I like to buy Nimble, Resilience, Haven, Master Riding, Cauterize, etc. I think you should be able to make a loadout for those items, and the bot will buy those items instead of just buying whatever. Or at the very least, have bots finish out the item(s) you bought instead of buying something new.

What if five players had connection issues and each were disconnected? How many minutes of a match would be paused?

Bots serve a purpose. I've only been disconnected about five or six times and couldn't return to just one of my matches. When I've been disconnected and managed to return, I wonder if anyone noticed the difference?

I have always announced my return - to no fanfair.

Additionally, some of those "bots" may not be bots at all. They could be players with connection issues struggling to stay in and play the game. It's hard to tell as most random players refuse to communicate with their team.

As far as I know, improvements to this system are planned. There are ideas in which only players who leave the game will loss TP (if they do not return within a minute), and the bots will not buy items.

@DaddyOoker I mean now they are still buying. It is possible that in the third season they will stop.

2.Outright useless talents,
there are talents like slug shot which are completely useless,slug shot deletes io's dps and makes shots way harder to hit while giving nothing good in exchange,Then there are Godess's blessing and sacrifice which try to do 2 things life link already does but they do it worse ,Slug shot should give you higher damage output,faster firerate,hp or be replaced by Rally Here,ash s removed talent,Godess's blessing should allow io to heal through walls and increase her moonlight charge rate by a small amount,Sacrifice should have its healing increased and its cooldown lowered,that way all 3 talents can have a chance to compete next to life link

yes, there are many useless talents.
Such as: Wekono's Wrath (Mal'damba), Impulse (Cassie).
