You already have AI healing in comp stomp, pretty sure you can crank up the skill with all the data you have available and start putting bots as healers in solo shuffle.
That’s definitely where they’re going but the current AI is like pathetically bad and dumb.
They should make it immune to cc and kicks and heal thru los untill something dies to pure mongo damage. Would be so fun.

The AI does a lot of reaction based stuff well but it’ll be too easily cheesed.
They need to let the training wheels off the AI learning. AI in a game like WoW where it’s reactionary cooldown oriented right now makes it very possible for an AI to eventually learn after millions of iterations of sped up script fighting to never make a mistake.
Now positioning? That might be difficult for an AI to actually learn. But as for trading defensives/CDs when the opposite team does so I don’t think a full team of 3 AIs could actually lose to a team of 3 players with the training wheels off.
Unleash these doom bots and stream it.
I wanna see Deathbot 9000 suplex some poor little Shaman trying to heal their first shuffle.

They should auto stand them in the middle of the map to teach the newbies to not los if they want heals. I could only imagine the melee zug in the next waiting room saying the bot sucks and doesn’t heal him.
The only issue is that it is rated content. Comp stomp isn’t rated content. I feel like it would make it far to easy to get arena titles if they implemented it. Its a good idea but shuffle would be abused.
Idk, I don’t want AI exposed to the cesspit of RSS toxicity yet. That’s how we get T800s
They already implemented AI DPSin Solo Shuffle. You see them constantly in there at least 2 every game.

They need to hire the people from the OpenAI company that created self learning AI that consistently beat the best dota 2 teams in the world after playing against itself 10,000+ times
I would temper your expectations here my man. The AI that you see in typical video games is not “AI” in the sense of a learning model that is trained on a dataset like autonomous driving or ChatGPT. Game AI is usually hard-coded to a specific set of if/thens and mesh pathing to handle movement. If it was actual “AI” that Blizzard used for PvE, boss fights would evolve over time and become impossibly difficult (now THAT’s an interesting idea for a level above mythic raiding…).
Is it possible to do what you are suggesting? Absolutely. Would it be incredibly expensive for Blizzard to run actual AI at the scale we’re suggesting? Definitely. Super interesting idea though, and could help the healer shortage.
hahahahaha that got me rolling so hard
