Picked up Dota a couple days ago after my brother recommended it to me. I think I might be already addicted. I'm brand new to MOBAs, but have been playing and watching plenty. Doing my best to get better.
Feel free to add me on Steam, playing with actual people is nice (versus playing all bot games). http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198027733361 |

Being new, I've been playing a whole lot of bot games. I always end up destroying the other side's Ancient, but I can never get a kill. The instant I start hurting any enemy hero a fair amount, they always sprint back to their base before I can finish them off. Even when I have boots or even double damage, I can never kill a single one.
I did a bit of googling, and found that a lot of people have had the opposite problem, in which the bot heroes chase them back to their base. So am I doing something horribly wrong, or is the bot AI a little messy? Curious to see if other people have had either experience. |

Posted by _ATLAS Posted by Alverez Also considering that you're new I'll also point out that generally when playing you don't just kill a hero from max life to zero in one attack string (esp in the early game/first 10 minutes). Normally during the laming phase you work on getting last hits on the creeps while also harassing your enemy with right click dmg, and after you whittle them down a bit you go for the kill. what he said  the first minutes of the game especially tend to be really slow, unless youre playing someone really agressive who needs lots of kills really really fast and generally speaking thats not going to happen right away either most heroes need a few levels to get going! Yeah, I see your point. I've played Morphling, Tidehunter, Lich and a couple others. Even in end game, I can only get the bots down to ~1/3 life before having to turn back. And while laning, I only see them outside the fog for a short period of time. I dunno. It's probably just my impatient noobishness. |

I have found it is not impossible. Got 5 kills and a couple assists using Axe's ulti. Also realized that I had been mostly playing bots on passive, which means they don't use items. Which means that they have to go to base to heal up. Kinda facepalmed after realizing that. Put them on easy, and things worked a lot better.
