Eh, not that bad. Just need to get two people that can handle the side lanes and 3 in mid. You'll go down to your inhibs probably, but the bots can't handle a splitpush/backdoor strategy.
If you try to teamfight though, it's rough. Also, Lux is a pest on that. Still haven't had to deal with Cho or Blitz yet though.

Blitz is hilarious. He had trinagle shaped viktor lasers around him, shot 3 hooks, and ulti covered over an entire lane. Also did shyvana dragon form W.
I'm really beggining to hate this game, why? I was plat last season took a 5 month break and played my placement games, had 8 4v5 (well, several were 3v5s and one I was the afk from the riot client crashing), a bot that managed to go 0/15 by 7 mins, and I actually won a game because my team was merely bad but not aneurism inducing terrible.
So silver, should be easy to get out of? Nope I have like a 30% chance of getting an afk and people are just ******* terrible at silver. Not everyone but I swear the game remembers I used to be plat because I get matched with some of the dumbest *****s I've ever played with. I try really hard not to rage but I still end up raging about 1 out of every 10 games because I can't take it anymore. People at silver are just so bloody terrible, which wouldn't bother me but they also ignore advice.
Look if a person with a plat border is giving you advice in silver its a polite request for you to not be retarded, Lets get drag, jungle top and bot is back, is something that is so obvious to a plat that when a silver goes **** you I want to afk on the spot. When you don't group for a fight and split when we need to group you do not then get made when team dies, you are ******* up especially if you were asked to group. I'm so ******* done with trying to explain nicely things like "hey get drag please, leash please (yes I've had teams not leash), watch my top buff please, you know the stuff that should be intuitive to every single ranked player with one iota of skill.
I have a positive score in like 90% or more of my games, about 55% or more I stomp and that would be higher if I played curbstomp champs but I actually try to flesh out a teamcomp.

When the season started I was placed in Silver IV from Gold IV. And at first I struggled a little bit to get out of Silver IV, but then I adjusted my playstyle a bit and just breezed back to Gold V-IV. In low to mid Silver games plat strategies and even gold strategies don't actually help that much. What I instead shifted to was:
1. You have to take the objectives by yourself no matter if you are jungle or support. Don't think your team will help you taking a tower or dragon.
2. Don't try to get yourself fed as much as try to get your teammates fed/not feeding. Your skill can help make up for your lack of fedness, their skill will just hamper them when the are 0/3/1. So it's better for them to have the kills while you have the assists.
3. Look for pickoffs more than teamfights. Teamfights are usually messy and can be a little random due to Silver have an extremely wide range of teamfight proficiency.
4. Suggest don't tell. Give reasons why, not orders. And don't throw your plat border in their face.
5. Baron is the wrong call unless the entire enemy team is dead.
I wish I could see W/L stats when I have a Vayne on my team when I go support. I'm sure at this point, it has to be something like 10/90 or 20/80.
I even had one Vayne explicitly tell me, "I choose this champion so I can lose the lane, but then pick up kills and win late game." I don't know how "I plan to lose the laning phase" is a good idea for bot.
My most recent game had the last guy pick Vayne into Cait and end the game at 2/9/2 with double Doran's Blade, Vampiric Scepter, and Berserker's Greaves as his only items after 30 minutes.
I think it may be mathematically sound to just dodge queue when someone picks Vayne then lose the LP half an hour later when we do lose.
Doom Bots sound quite interesting. I'll give them a try, for sure.
As for the champ updates..... Well, nothing out of the champs really bother me much (that, or it's information overload on me )Item updates.... Well, Bloodthirster seems to get..... boosted? Better life steal, but its barrier is a bit weaker now. And Essence Reaver just got a nice attack boost.... but the inflation is quite huge.
And where the hell is the new Summoner's Rift? They've been prattling about it for eons and I still see the old place Or is there a setting I overlooked?

Next time Riot makes this sort of crap like Doom Bots, they should explicitly make it available only to the top 100 players per region or something and NOT to public. I know they did say the bots get special abilities, but 16 Ezreal ultis is just ridiculous. The absolute definition of unfun.
I miss URF. Really. Hell, I bet for most average players, even URF humans will still be in trouble fighting these doom bots.

Just split push against them. Super easy to win doing that. 1 person in each side lane that can hold tower, 3 people in the middle to shove down the mid inner and outer turrets, then hold as best as they can against the bots when they finally break the 2-1-2 lanes. The side lanes then just shove in and drop wards so they can TP to them.
Or, just play to have fun and don't worry about winning? Half the fun of playing against them is seeing the insane things that can happen...like walking into a Garen/Fiddles ult in a random bush in the jungle, or trying to take down Doom-bot Cho-Gath with Swain ult and 6 stacks.
Well... play for 'fun' is relative. If I were to play for fun, I usually just go play Beginner AI and try my darndest to solo Nashor; that's my definition of fun. Otherwise, when I need challenge, I'll go for Intermediate Bots or PvP. And the thing is like URF, the Doom bots are all preset, which ruins the fun also (yes, they have different difficulty levels, but that's way too much work to see just how unfairly creative the programmers can be). And at least URF is symmetrical, so while the preset bots are annoying, not too bad for that.
Play a bruiser against him, wreck him because you're mobile as well, and you have better base stats?
Just had to lane against a Yasuo as Irelia because my mid wasn't dealing with him well. Went into lane while he was 2 kills up on me, killed him twice no problem. Yasuo can't handle the stronger bruisers, at least from my experience. I'd imagine that Jax/Renekton/Trynd/Riven would all give him fits.
Yasuo actually has really bad trades against a lot of champions at various times without any E or Q stacks. You can generally find opportunities to outtrade him hard if you look out for them.
Oh and I like to play Diana into him and I think she *****s on him hard post-6, but then again Diana is one of my biggest comfort picks.

But Blitz with Eve passive is the worst thing ever to run into. The unseen hook is the deadliest.
I had the hell of playing as TF against an Annie with a Swain ulti.
I had to ditch my lane entirely and start roaming. It was just too much.
Thanks Argentleman;)

Proc shield with your AA. Proceed to harass him to death.
Also, wind wall is on a 24 sec CD, abuse that.

Seems very powerful on PBE so far, though.
