Dota 2 Practice Bots Tool


Dota 2 latest update includes Kunkka and Bloodseeker, and a tool called "Practice Bots".

Practice Bots

This is a tool that can be used to try out new heroes and item builds.

- Ping the minimap to send commands to your allied bots
- Ping an enemy tower to tell them to push a lane
- Ping an enemy hero to tell them to ask for assistance in a gank

Practice bots can also use the Text chat to:

  • Let you know when they’re coming to your lane for a gank.
  • Communicate when they’re fleeing or losing a fight.
  • Indicate their high priority targets in upcoming team fights.
  • Expose their thinking about whether they should push or defend their lanes.
  • Call for assistance versus Roshan if they think the timing is right.



More features to come

  • Control of difficulty levels
  • Override bots decision making.
  • More heroes.
