4.5 Bot Update

The 4.5 Bot Update is focused around improving and further developing the AI part of the game.

Whilst in a game against a bot there were some evident and unrealistic properties which they

held. Such as running into a team without retaliation and following for a kill for far too long.

The following are the changes:

• Improved evaluation of enemy and friendly strength.
• Improved understanding of tower mechanics and power.
• Improved behaviors while under high threat.
• Improved lane rotation decision making.
• Improved last hitting with auto-attacks both when farming normally and when pushing.
• Lane behaviors (harassing vs. farming, etc) are now more in line with human behaviors.
• Bots now attempt to dodge some skill shots.
• Beginner bots now build recommended items, while Intermediate bots now make more advanced item choices.
• Bots now scan their surroundings at variable rates depending on difficulty setting and in-game threat level.
