Update: Nov 5, 2023 @ 4:52pm

General

  • Added Invoker to MidLane Core pool
  • All core bots will now always have a desire to farm jungle throughout the match. This is scaled down as they get closer to level 30.
  • Defending lane desire has been reworked - nothing big but the desire to defend towers is more dynamic and may result in towers being given up if bots deem it not worth defending

Zeus
  • Fixed Zeus not using Thunderbolt after getting his level 25 talent

Anti-Mage/Queen of Pain/Faceless Void
  • Significantly improved the usage of these hero's blink abilities

Update: Nov 2, 2023 @ 2:44pm

General

  • Reintroduced a custom push logic for experimenting
  • Improved starting item purchasing for better laning
  • Fixed bots giving tangos to other heroes in the fountain at the beginning of matches

Slardar
  • Fixed an internal variable name change by Valve that caused Slardar to not properly use Slithereen Crush

Bristleback
  • Fixed Viscous Nasal Goo not working after receiving an Aghanim's Scepter
  • Added Aghanim's Scepter compatibility with the Bristleback ability
  • Updated item build to reflect these changes

Phantom Lancer
  • Fixed Phantom Rush being toggled in the opposite way it's supposed to due to 7.34 updates

Update: Oct 21, 2023 @ 4:10pm

General

  • Improved Solar Crest/Medallion of Courage usage - bots will now use it dynamically depending on the situation
  • Hard Support bots will now buy Solar Crest
  • Removed a portion of the retreat logic code that was increasing a bot's desire to retreat based on ally and enemy hero "offensive power"
  • Added Beastmaster to OffLane Core pool
  • Added Tusk to Soft Support pool

Medusa
  • Adjusted item build to better suit her unique health pool

Update: Oct 15, 2023 @ 7:12pm

General

  • Improved desire to do Tormentor - bots will now only attempt it if the entire team is nearby
  • Slightly improved Shadow Blade/Silver Edge usage - bots will now use it when they are "roaming" to a target, similar to smoke usage
  • Added a strict check that will force bots to TP back to fountain if they are stuck

Shadow Fiend
  • Updated MidLane Core item build to build a Silver Edge (Carry SF will still build high physical damage)
  • Shadow Fiend now compares his physical damage to his magical damage on his target. If Shadow Fiend thinks he will do more physical DPS to his target, he will opt to not use razes (Currently does not take crits from items into consideration).

Centaur Warrunner
  • Potentially solved a Valve bug that popped up where Centaur was magically able to cast Hoofstomp despite not having enough Mana

Update: Sep 14, 2023 @ 10:56am

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

Update: Aug 26, 2023 @ 3:23pm

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

Update: Aug 10, 2023 @ 6:47pm

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!

Update: Jun 24, 2023 @ 3:14pm

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.)

Update: Jun 4, 2023 @ 2:52pm

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.
