Training in dota

[Kittyrah]

I think there should be a mode where you can fight against a "dummy" in a solo private match. This will not be ranked or count towards anything. I want you to be able to train your abilities on this dummy easily. This can be done with a bot that isnt doing anything, but you can select the bot and mess up a combo, or you can accidentily kill a bot and have to mess around with cheat commands to keep him alive. I want the dummy to not be able to die, but able to show how much damage it has taken. It would also be cool if you can set the dummy's armour and resistance values in game, but not if you directly select it so you dont mess up anything. An example of why i want this mode is that when im training with heroes like Tinker, most of the things he uses is single target burst damage. I end up either instantly killing the hero in the middle of my combo, or selecting the bot and stopping my combo. This can be very frustrating because the only way I can train easily is to do an online match.

Yeah while true the only way is to either use the bots where you can control them, or you could cheat yourself levels and items and just play a controlled bots match and easily kill (or level them too)

I know you can level yourself and make bots level up too, but its still an instant kill with some combos. For example, I made a Huskar level 25 with a pipe of insight, and i still bursted it down. Also, for single target abilities, like Dagon, if your in the middle of a combo you might accidently click on the bot before pressing your item, switching control to Huskar. This completely messes me up and makes training this way impossible.

Use quick cast.

I'll try that, thanks. But there is still the problem of killing the bot. Typing -refresh or even pressing ctrl-v can mess up my rythm.
