I wanted to add the observation that all the restricted heroes are ranged. Necrophos, Sniper, Viper, Crystal Maiden, and Lich.
Since playing a lane as a ranged hero is very different from playing the same lane as a melee hero, I wonder whether the AI has learned to play melee heroes yet.
- backpropaganda 8y agoNot only are they ranged, but this lineup is very snowball-oriented, i.e. the optimal play style with this kind of lineup is to gain a small advantage in the early game and then keep pushing towers together aggressively. The middle-to-late game doesn't really matter. Whoever wins the early game wins the game. And we do know that bots are going to be good at early game last hitting.
