Are all bots created equal?
When I'm playing a match of me + 4 medium bots against 5 medium bots, I'm occasionally the worst player on my team by a fair margin (e.g. as a carry, I died 3 times in the beginning of the match and got absolutely no kills the entire match). However, I never lose to medium bots. If all medium bots have a skill of "10" and I never lose to them, then I must have a skill of greater than "10". However, if out of my team I get the least kills, assists, gold/min, and xp/min, and the most deaths, then I'd think my skill would be less than "10".
The only two explanations I can think of for this are
- I contribute to the team a very large amount in ways other than killing the enemy team (unlikely, especially when I try to play as a hard carry.
- The "medium" bots on my team are better than the "medium" on the enemy team, e.g. the enemy has bots with "9" skill, but the bots on my team have "10" skill to more than balance out my mere "7" skill.
Is there another explanation?
Best Answer
On medium difficulty I have seen a similar same thing actually. Your team of bots will tend to always win a medium difficulty game unless you feed like 20 kills or something. It's actually really hard to lose, mainly because on medium I notice that the opponent bots reach a plateau of items, whereas your bots tend to keep getting better and better items. Check out their hit points later game and the enemy will have very low hit points, whereas your team will get really fat over time. I don't think that I've lost a medium difficulty game unless I was utterly terrible, maybe not even then.
On hard and insane difficulties I've noticed that unless you basically carry the game then your team will tend to lose a lot more often than win. Maybe it's because it's 4v5 ai, so you really need to be doing well in the teamfights to sway the outcomes.
