General

• Reverted push logic to default Valve logic temporarily as I continue to experiment with and improve the custom push logic
  
• Potentially fixed an issue with Anti-Mage's Ally Spell Shield

General

• Updated Spirit Vessel recipe for 7.34b
  
• Fixed a case where Bounty Hunter would try to cast Friendly Shadow on himself
  
• Fixed Spectre not leveling her ultimate, as well as potentially fixed her ultimate and shard ability usage
  
• Fixed Enigma's Demonic Summoning... again
  
• Fixed a case where defending lane desires were less than things such as Tormentor, causing bots to not defend in situations where they should

General

• Emergency patch for 7.34; all recipe changes and hero ability reworks have been accommodated.
  
• Adjusted retreat desire calculations

A lot of these changes went untested, so please monitor all new abilities closely and report any issues!

General

• Added Razor to MidLane Core and SafeLane Carry Pool
  
• Updated Octarine Core recipe from 7.33d patch
  
• Implemented Sentry Ward purchasing and usage. Bots don't know how switch between observers and sentries due to lack of API functionality, so Position 5 heroes will buy sentries and Position 4 heroes will buy observers.
  
• Implemented Smoke of Deceit purchasing and usage. Both support heroes will buy smokes, and use them when they are doing "roaming" actions and have teammates nearby. Keep in mind that this is not scripted/coordinated usage, so bots may have some questionable timings and usage of smokes!
  
• Custom retreat logic implemented!
  
• Bots now properly notice and focus down certain special units (couriers, Undying's Tombstone, Warlock's Golem, Observer/Sentry Wards, etc.)

General

• Added Spectre to SafeLane Carry Pool
  
• Added Tiny, Necrophos, Broodmother, and Visage to MidLane Core Pool
  
• Added Necrophos, Broodmother, Lycan, Nature's Prophet, Visage and Bounty Hunter to OffLane Core Pool
  
• Added Oracle to both Support Pools
  
• Re-enabled Shadow Demon and Nyx Assassin (forgot to do this a couple patches ago, whoops)
  
• Numerous hero ability fixes

Please note that Bounty Hunter may have an issue with Shadow Walk where he won't be able to cast it. This is because the bot API has not been updated since Shards have been added and thus there is no way to directly tell if he has it or not. If you notice this, it should resolve itself as the game progresses as I am using an alternative method to inefficiently determine if he has it or not.

General

• Added Slark to SafeLane Carry pool
  
• Added Batrider to MidLane Core pool
  
• Added Sand King, Batrider and Centaur Warrunner to OffLane Core pool
  
• Added Witch Doctor to both Support pools
  
• Moved Ogre Magi to OffLane Core pool
  
• Position 4 heroes now buy a Pavise
  
• Reworked post-laning phase behaviors; bots should now push a little more aggressively and no longer require a full team rally
  
• If a lane needs to be cleared, the closest core should now more urgently want to deal with it (should help with super/mega creep waves)
  
• Carries no longer only farm until they have their tailored core item; instead they will farm during alive hero disadvantages. This behavior persists until they get said item.
  
• Potentially fixed an issue where bots may miss a skill point level if they gained multiple levels within the same frame
  
• Multiple minor improvements and bug fixes across some heroes

Quick patch from last update earlier today

General

• Bots will now be more coordinated and choose carefully when to attack their Tormentor
  
• Added Faceless Void to SafeLane Carry pool
  
• Additional hero ability bug fixes

Updated for 7.33b

General

• Updated item recipes for 7.33b (Phylactery)
  
• Added item usage for the new 7.33 items
  
• MidLane Cores and Supports now buy a Blood Grenade
  
• Bots now attempt to kill Tormentors. Currently only attack their own team's Tormentor when they believe it is alive. Bots will type in chat and ping the Tormentor when they are attacking it.
  
• Added the remaining heroes that PhalanxBot played before 7.33
  
• Added Ursa to SafeLane Carry pool
  
• Fixed some logical errors that prevented bots from defending the Ancient and the 2 Ancient towers (they still abide by the numbers disadvantage rule)
  
• Fixed several bugs related to hero abilities as well as reworked most of them

Updated for 7.33. Please keep in mind the following things:
- Limited hero pool until I can roll out fixes and changes to the rest of the heroes
- Bots will not redeem neutral tokens, and it's not possible to make them do so until the API is updated
- Bots currently do not interact with new buildings

General

• Updated item recipes for 7.33 (bots do not use the actives on new items yet, as none of them buy those ones right now)
  
• SafeLane Carries will no longer push until they have their desired core item. This item depends on the hero they are playing. Carries will still partake in nearby fights if they are confident they will win, and will defend towers if absolutely necessary.
  
• Bots will now group up with each other after laning phase, unless they are defending or if they are a farming carry
  
• Updated ward spots for 7.33
  
• Adjusted initial item purchasing to better fit the new regen stock in 7.33 - you can still purchase regen in the hero selection screen if you don't want bots to take all of them when the game loads
  
• Supports will now only share tangos if they feel someone else needs them as opposed to just giving them if they don't see any tangos in the ally's inventory
