DOTA2 CUSTOM GAME: BOT DUEL

KEYWORDS: DOTA2, bot, duel, reinforcement learning

Compared to hardcode bot, Dota2 bot created in machine learning way is proved to be much stronger[OpenAi blog]. The challenge of Dota2 ML-bot is vast amount of information available at every frame, and the continuous set of actions possible. In this case, Dota2 ML-bot is usually simplified. For example:

• OpenAi bot is restricted on sf mid solo.
• BeyondGodlikeBot bot is restricted on mid creep block.
• IN THIS PROJECT we focus on training a high performance bots(custom items and abilitys, fixed area) on duel, which is useful to break rumours like Better Duel Hero or The Best Duel Hero.
