This is a Dota 2 Bot Script based off of Beginner:AI by (dota2jmz@163.com). Some changes are based upon other existing bot scripts; personal use mostly; adding heroes. Trying to get use to the API and code base. Just trying to alleviate cheesiness and make bots movement more organic and objective base. It's a work in progress.
Might want to scale Push desire with core networths so that bots farm more and increase their CS (though my vscript Buff alleviate this). Also, evasion/damage reduction/aura items are just too good in bots games (since itemization isn't dynamic), so it's still lineup dependent.
Worth noting that I also use a vscript to improve the bots GPM and XPM (AP only), and also have them able to get neutral items (Check Buff).
To anyone who've found this or is using it, if you have any feedback in improving the script, kindly post them on the Steam Workshop page: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3139791706/4143942846477191222/

Heroes (Pos: 1,2,3,4,5)
- All Supports are both 4 and 5 for now.
- ^. Supports that does damage, CC, or is Ranged are just inherently 'better' for the most part in bot games compared to Melee or non-. (Since positioning and movement are Valve default.)

Plan To "Fix/Add/Improve" (if possible)
- Fix
- Warding
- Observer and Sentry share the same ward spots for now.
- Sentries might be placed in teamfights.
- Pos 4 -> Sentry
- Pos 5 -> Observer
- Due to how ward slots work. No API func to tell which ward is in front.
- Use Danger Ping (Crtl + Alt + Left Click) to tell bots to Ward the ping location if they're suitable to do so.
- Must be within 1200 units to the pinged bot (for now).
- Observer and Sentry share the same ward spots for now.
- Rune behaviour
- Doom apparently not able to Devour abilities (might just be Valve bug tho)
- Warding
- Add
- Tormentor
- Desire decreases starting at minute (20; 35 (AP)).
- Tricky to harmonize with others due to its nature.
- Spell usage for Tormentor and Roshan
- Dynamic item builds
- Clear wave faster with abilities
- vscript to increase bots GPM and XPM (AP only), and for them to acquire neutral items (local host only)
- Functionality for new active ablities gained through Aghs/Shard
