The MOBA League of Legends is known for its tough matches. But there is also a mode in LoL that is friendly and cuddly: the co-op mode.

When is that supposed to come? In the second half of 2023, “beta bots” should come to the test servers, then feedback will be collected via Reddit. So it will be a while before the bots are really in the game.
