New Approach to improve the Bot AI

[EmoKlaus]

Hi, I thought about the poor behavior of StormBuddy and i thought about the way a Bot can behave without his Teammates noticing, that they are playing with a Bot.

Instead of interacting with yout own Teammates or even Enemy Heroes the Bot should avoid as much interaction with other Players as possible.

If the Bot joins a Teamfight it is most likely to be revealed as non Human PLayer.

BUT if the Bot avoids contact with others and searches for empty lanes to push WITHOUT GIVING A SHIT ABOUT OBJECTIVES his Teammates will just think they got a retard in their team.
At low elo people dont even know themselves how to play better.

I don't think the solution is to make the bot perform like another "retarded" player, but more to elevate it to a point where its combat routines and logic can execute effectively in a team fight and team objectives. Otherwise this bot will be nothing more than a lane pusher, which I don't think anyone wants. For example, think of how MillZ BG FARMER operates, you can have it retreat at certain HP, target my teams target, target low hp enemies and do team objectives. If its only function was to simply go to an empty spot in the BG it would be pretty pointless and also stand out.

A Bot will NEVER be able to play against Human Players who use their Brain in fights.

The amount of time to code a routine, that allows the Bot to perform somehow usefull in a teamfight, stands in no relation to the Profit the Buddy Team can earn with it.

So it doesnt really matter, what Buyers of this Bot demand.
A Stupid Lane Pucher is simple implemented and can achieve a stable Winrate in Low elo Games.
Remember: HotS is free to play and not even popular. (Nothing compared to LoL)
