bot match error

[<blank>]

Solo bot games are generally no longer playable. The friendly bots used to consider the player's selection of mid lane once the player reached the T2 tower mid. Any bot that had been going mid would then go to the top or bottom lane. This doesnt happen now, the bot that wanted to take the mid lane will now continue to stay in that lane. Sometimes its two bots - and not like a pair with well known synergy like Tiny+IO, I mean like a Tiny+Necrophos pair when the player was Shadow Fiend.

A lot of the time the solo top or bottom lanes will feed in a 2v1 at the starting rune.

Trying to ping other lanes to get the bots to go there isnt working. They do leave the vicinity, get to about 2K units then come right back.

i have noticed for the last 2 days the bots are behaving very strangely. i play against bots to practise new heroes or ones im terrible at but right now the bots are very random. sometimes they wont leave the mid lane, always in pairs too which is very strange, then the enemy bots will not stop going after me and always win the game because i cant do nothing but my friendly bots go straight for the end and win in 20 mins sometimes :/. cannot practise heroes no more

A pity, but bot-coop is the better alternative anyway.

I don't want to play coop, sorry.
The game is jacked now and has been for some time.
Used to be chill and you could try different things.
Now it's just a blowout. No fun.

yeah i notice that too, i usually play mid when playing with bots. almost in every game there's always 1 bot stuck at mid, tried to ping them away from lane but they always came back to mid. also i notice after i done draft pick my hero when i skip the loading screen to get into the game immediately, all my heroes skins is change to default but when i see on top of the screen my PA is still using Arcana skin but the model is still in Default Skin( steam still online tho). honestly they should REWORK BOT MATCH, UNFAIR MODE=1v5, when at 3 minutes some heroes TP mid idk why maybe they still thought that RUNE SPAWNED AT minutes 3 AT MID.

how do u play bots games when they are broken and dont even buy items lol

[Dogsby_Poopin]

Yes, this is so frusterating. I play bots mostly, and love playing mid, but even in other lanes the game feels broken. If you play mid, you'll have 2-3 other bots that run back and forth beside you, feed the other team, and then take the odd last hit after you've done all the work. I'm leveling up slower in mid than any other lane, which was never the case before. It almost feels unplayable to an extent. If I can't ping bots to leave for more than 15 seconds then something is broken.

How do we reach out to them about this? Someone messed up!

maybe select different bots AI? that's a thing

Just got back to playing dota 2 again after years of not playing. I updated the app and now I can't access the solo bot match after I accidentally clicked on the Coop. Also I no longer have access to workshop to choose which bots I play with. Are there anyone who got the same problem with me? Or any recommendation on how to fix this
