Impossible to queue for Co-op vs bots now.. Thanks, for taking away the only mode I play lol.
As in the title, I've come to thank the devs for making PVE coop games impossible bc after 5 minutes of waiting it puts you in a bots only match without asking.

I only play vs bots. With the debilitating forced choice of bots, it was already very hard to find a game, with often over 30min waiting etc.

But now they have taken even that bad option away as you will automatically go into a bot match after 5 min wait.

Effectively this means co-op vs bot matches, has now been eliminated from the game. It is almost as if the devs are trying to make people leave the game. And this in the very update targeted towards new players. *slow headshake in disbelief*

I haven't played this game for ages tbh. Been practicing offline with bots again and was thinking to try coop vs ai again. I heard the ranked ai on unfair is popular, i wonder if people still do coop vs ai unfair default bots.

Me and my friends do, but the bots have gotten a bit worse in some ways with the recent patch. Sure they TP escape away if you don't have a stun and contest bounty runes and pick up neutral items now, but they are much worse at committing to team fights and still go do camps as their ancient is taking damage.

The community scripts are alright, but don't handle Turbo too well, and a lot of my newer friends are hooked on the speed of that compared to a normal game.

Yeah, I agree tbh.

The older bots knew how to place wards, ganked and felt way tougher (only Witch Doctor using all his mana on 'W' was hell lol).
It feels like these bots I can kill easy, even on unfair.

I like they fixed their tps, item builds and such, but they didn't update the AI to use all their abilities e.g. Viper's Nethertoxin (W); the things I miss are Riki bot, bots warding, properly jungling etc.

The old bots I'll admit weren't great, but at least they were tougher.

Lastly, all of the AI scripts are out of date; bot experiment gets confused with warding now as well as ranked AI due to them having wards in their backpacks and pubsimulator is sadly dead; shocked Valve never removed them.

The only one up to date currently is Beginner AI in the workshop and they actually use all their abilities.

Ditto - Decided to come back and try Co-op AI again but after this disappointment I dunno anymore.

Used to always play co-op vs AI in the past, hell racked up thousands of hours that way but now it just doesn't seem worth it anymore.

I guess this is where we part ways.....
RIP DOTA, you will be missed.

Good idea thanks! Over the time playing bots I did get some items to sell.

Also to others in the thread, I checked back after some updates.... No improvement. Only bot matches, and if you leave the bot match you get penalized.

Valve is making my social score minus infinity for leaving bot games...

Whatever ithis dev strategy is, i'm pretty sure pushing long time customers away... is bad marketing.

I cashed out all my valuable items. There are only more than hundred 3 Cent items left. I already invested the money in another game. Only possible because it is a game also available on the Steam platform. From now on, everything can happen in Dota2 and I don‘t care much anymore. But I have some nice items like IO Arcana etc. that are bound to the account and not marketable (damn). But wait until I leave Steam entirely ... :-) „My game“ has also an Steam independent, direct access.

Dude, even when I tried to play "offline" match against bot locally, now they create a local lobby CONNECTED to the internet and if your connection sucks, get ready to be kicked out of your own local lobby. It's no longer an "offline" match against bot as somehow I'm lagging on my own local lobby. I just want to play casually against bots with my skins on. Looks like they no longer care and tried to wipe out the minority who only play casually against bot now.

From valve's point of view new players with cash to burn takes priority over the entire co-op bot community.

At this point even if they bring back co-op it wouldn't make a difference.
We've been shown exactly how insignificant valve thinks the co-op community is.
I mean who would want to come back when valve can/will screw us over again "just because".

On a different topic HotS co-op community is alive and well
(2-5 min queue for NA/ NO Auto-fill).
As for the LoL co-op scene, I genuinely don't know but I'm probably going to check it out. Will post an update in a few days or so
If anyone has suggestion on which game has decent co-op vs AI mode,
I'm definitely open to suggestions

I agree, that Dota2 is not considering bot-coop as a real and wanted mode. E.g. I play mainly another game now (not a MOBA but also a team and role based multiplayer game) and it has a dedicated bot-coop mode that allows to grind different and valuable rewards just for playing in a relaxed mode where winning is not the issue. Besides that, the other modes, standard and ranked are by far not that toxic as the comparable Dota2 modes.

But, we have to accept that bot-coop does not fit to the mind set of Dota2 developers and, to be honest, the majority of Dota2 players either. We are just not welcome in Dota2. They rather want to populate their toxic pvp modes.

I do see your point about the community. Over the years I posted about co-op on occasion. It was very noticeable -like in this thread a bit- that PVP players come in to actively marginalize/silence any request from co-op players.

It seems like those forum-trolls rage so much about this game that anything that is not about MMR....

A pity in general though. I still love this game and the complexity of it. But playing PVP is just not compatible with life when you reach the age where you have other responsibilities than getting your behind to school.

It's not that Valve doesn't care. It's the fact that the playerbase for co-op bots simply dried up. So really, it's the players that overwhelmingly don't care about co-op bots.

Well the base didn't "dry up" though as you said. Devs just made the matchmaking for co-op totally dysfunctional years ago. And then still there was a persistent playerbase for it, at least in EU hours.

What they did now is just a finishing move, making it 100% impossible to wait more than 5 minutes for humans, because it throws you in a bot match you never asked for.
DreadedGhoul575 2021 年 4 月 22 日 上午 4:58 
Shocking really, since these bots are definitely way better than LoL and HoTS bots (they got broken before Dota 2 bots).
But sadly, the bots for this game are sadly broken again, due to game changes ending up with outdated AI for the maps.

No, Valve didn't make co-op matchmaking "dysfunctional" years ago. What happened years ago, is that the playerbase for co-op dried up when Turbo was released because it quickly became more popular for casual players.
