They get caught out of position with the other bots or just walk into 5 enemies. They don't have the ability to assess if there are to many enemies and often just feed. It means that if the enemy bots start to push, they will likely get 4 kills with each tower. Thank you. Some glaring mistakes that are inexcusable: 1. Inability to react to some spells which are game breaking. For example they will never reach to jakiro's spells, so have fun watching your entire team get frozen by 1 ice path and burning in macropyre. 2. Enemy team bots move as a single unit in the mid-late game and chain stuns perfectly, but your team just wanders around doing whatever the fuck they like. I had a necro bot steal aegis from under my nose and proceed to go NC while the enemy was pushing our tower with me pinging like mad. 3. "Doing Roshan!" then stand clumped up at the rosh pit staring at roshan, while you try your best to bring down his health, frantically pinging him in the process. This is just the icing on the shit sundae that is Dota 2 bots. Before someone says I'm stupid for playing with bots: I know I can play solo queue, team queue, co-op, even go normal bots, but I'm just saying. If they are serious about bringing in more new players (which I am not) they need to get it to at least be functional. At the moment it's broken beyond belief. | ||

I'd argue that if you're trying to bring someone new into the game, having them on a difficulty above normal is counterproductive because viper lion lanes with perfect response times will crap all over them. If someone's good enough to play with hard bots, they're probably good enough for MM or at least co-op. | ||

You could just cut the trees down and go in. Happened a few times in ACE league last year when the Chinese were still playing dota 1. | ||

That's actually decent. And then tell them to try and farm at least 100 cs in 20 minutes in a custom lobby. 100 at 20 isn't great, but at starting mmr levels you will be ownage. | ||

It's gonna take new people hours and hours to get 100 at 20. Good luck at telling people to play one single scene hours and hours, you're trying to make people hate dota. | ||
