What ever became of the big push for community developed bots? Are those available? I feel like I never heard anything about them after the announcement. If there are bots that don't suck or make insanely questionable decisions then just maybe.

afaik, like all things valve it was tossed around as a cool thing and then promptly abandoned, likely because no one actually wanted to develop it and valve is all about developer freedom or whatever the fuck

 

[Twookie]

A fair amount of people(on reddit anyway...) were clamoring for community made bots for years now, mainly because the bots has been so bad and also since people made bots and bot vs bot turnaments specifically for dota in warcraft 3, people would like to have that for dota 2 too.

They're available, but you have to browse/download/use them from the custom lobby interface. Took me weeks before I realized...

VGJ seems like a decent team on paper. How have they been doing recently (and iGV for that matter)?

After Kiev they will all shuffle up anyway.

sometimes you have those games. I'd say it's pretty likely he's in the 2.5k-3k range. I definitely remember having games like that. Though maybe it was really at the top end of the 2k bracket. It ranges quite a bit.

If you sit too long and dont press your advantage, the other team will eventually catchup once it gets late game.Feels like this happens to me all the time in 4K MMR games.

They planning on selling tickets soon then?!

Also AM and WR last year were $60...this is really bizarre. I hope they sell TI tickets soon if it really is July.

 

[shira]

I think they had an ex-Dreamworks artist doing the demiheroes and then she/he stopped

Tickets usually go on sale late march/early april

When I was at TI last year, one of the secret shop guys was saying they were listening to feedback and heard that people wanted the demiheroes. Perhaps they might get someone else to do them, if they bring them back?

Yeah you're right I think this was around 2K average and I in particular barely did any damage to buildings, which is bad considering how much my passive would've helped us push

What consoles do you have? Or are you just talking PC games?

yeah Nioh's great. I've been eyeing Yakuza 0 but I haven't actually played any of the other Yakuza games so I dunno if I have to play the other games first or what the deal is

PS4 and PC, Switch incoming though

It's my first Yakuza too and it seems to require no prior knowledge.
