I think it would be really fun if Riot put one intermediet intermediate bot, or maybe even a more advanced bot, in the ranked queue just to see how far it could climb.
They could even have a 24/7 stream on it showing the progress. Have donations on it where viewers can put messages that the bot will type in the in-game chat(obviously moderated/filtered). Any real player that loses a game with the bot on their team is prevented from losing LP or promotion matches to keep the bot from ruining ranks for them.
I'm sure there are tons of other downsides in doing it but I still think like it would be a fun thing to see.
Cheers!
