I get it, it’s too confusing to individually come up with an AI for the vast roster of characters. It is also too difficult to come up with an AI that works with every type of characters skillset.
So instead, how about when we get a leaver, you just give us some kind of drone bot that we can order to follow us around? Give it a few basic skills, and maybe let us pick which robot we get. From a healing drone, to a drone that just shoots enemies and throws out a stun here and there. You really can’t screw this one up here, it automatically shoots nearby enemy heroes and gives the enemy 0.25 of a kill.
Something really simple but it will still be a million times more useful than what we currently got. We got AI that just follow us and derp around and don’t know how to use their skills. We got the butcher AI that just keeps tower diving. Just give us something simple, it doesn’t have to be strong, but what we currently got is GARBAGE.
Unless they changed it, when someone leaves the enemy sees the name of the player of the bot. If you made it obvious that it was a “drone bot” as you say, people would just farm it.
They are still working on improving AI, I check this thread every so often:
The Dev is listening to suggestions there for upcoming improvements.
Yeah, not a solution at all, but some sort of AFK loss forgiveness in ranked would be welcome.
