Fascinating. I’ve never professionally worked in what it sounds like you do, so I was moderately agreeing with you until this.
I’ve played Dota likely as long as you in addition to playing at a semi pro level (placing well in a couple official pro qualifying tournaments as well as playing pubs with the players the AI played against) and I couldn’t disagree more.
It was impressive, but it’s main advantage came from its inhuman reaction times. They added some buffer but still didn’t account for 5 players working in perfect unison. That kind of coordination is an enormous advantage in a game like Dota. I left roughly feeling like I do now about AI - very impressive, but way over hyped and only sold to people that don’t truly get Dota.
