Won two matches in the morning, wasn't completely sure how to play Bristleback but he's quite easy and fun. People chasing/diving me almost to fountain but they just couldn't get a kill was amazingly funny.
However, in the afternoon I wanted to practice/learn some heroes I haven't played in a while, but bot matches are just pointless after 10-15mins, when lane phase is over... and even then if I'm not mid it's a headache. Oh, and that's if the lanes aren't stupid, like sending two carries to the same lane.
Anyway, I played Medusa and bots won 4vs5 while I farmed. Enemy bots just wouldn't defend their towers or anything. Once I had two big items and joined tier 3 push, enemy bots would just stay in front of tier 4s without doing anything. What's the point?
Then, a Slardar game in which I couldn't farm for a min or so because of support illusions autoattacking... why does a support gets a rune? And why do they have to auto attack when they get it? Later on in the same game, once I have ulti, I ping on enemy Drow Ranger and charge on... while the suppot bot who is in my lane just stands around doing nothing. When they gank on their own it's great because they chain stun perfectly but they have no coordination when it's me who wants to do something.
Heroes that depend on farm or ganks feel just pointless in a bot game.
