Why Remove The Choice of Selecting The Number of Bots one Can choose to Play with.

[TempTer]

Earlier, one had the option of playing 1v1, 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, 1v5 but now after the update one has to play 5v5 only.

The option to select the difficulty of the bots; (we had that drop down arrow) that allowed us to select the difficulty from Passive, Easy, Medium etc

AND

the number of bots one could choose to play with, are gone now.

Now we can either play WITHOUT the Hero bot (in enemy team) in 'Create lobby' section or fill the rest of all the slots with Hero Bots, and play Heroes vs Heroes match.

Valve, I am new to Dota 2, and we are a group of 7 guys, all new. We used to practice 1v1, whether via the 'Create Lobby' section or the 'Play with bots' section.

Mostly we have played individually in our homes 1v1 for practising - in Create Lobby Section. It was cool.

Now since you have removed the functionality of selecting the number of players one can play with, what happens is :

1. Whenever I am playing in some different lane (a loner), some allied bot comes up and starts assisting me and kills the creeps (or enemy heroes) and go away.

OR

If not allied Heroes, then some Enemy Heroes come and kill me, I am not able to practice or use my abilities/powers etc. (I am still learning Remember?) And I am unable to play the game. These Heroes (whether allied or enemy) DON'T ALLOW ME TO PLAY!!!

What have you done with the game Valve? At least make this game playable for regulars and learn-able for newbies. You can do whatever else you are R&Ding with, but this functionality is a must!

I believe, the last 2/3 patches have ruined the game. Some issues I have come across are:

1. Regarding the difficulty of the bots. The Medium bots are too hard now.
2. In the Create Lobby, we cannot select a match like 1v1, 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, 1v5 and individually select the difficulty. Earlier we were allowed to do that. Now either play without bots in enemy team or play 5v5, as mentioned above.
3. A weird sound is coming like some water fall, I believe from the Hero Wrath King. The moment I scroll my view towards the Wrath King, whether he is near the fountain (healing) or fighting, the weird sound starts coming.


Please do something.....

Malik

Oh!

I thought the stickies are posted by them! Sad. So is there any place where we can raise our voice and make them aware of the issues?

They made that to prevent botting, abusing bot to gain mmr and trust me, people have ways to do that and the only way is to make it a voluntarily 5 v 5

well then they should have just made the bot matches without any ranking or wat so ever and be just for fun or spending time instead of taking away having many options in the game also bots now r super unfair and u cant rly change the bot diffculty its a glitch idk

I can't win a botgame anymore. Sometimes I am free during the day and I would start an all bot match. Just to do a quick fun game for 25min. I would set it to medium and it would be a breeze. Sometimes set it to hard and struggle a bit. But now... I can't win anymore. I've played almost a thousand games since they kept track and almost never lost... If this is permanent, I'll have to quit playing alltogether.
