So due to my computer failing at multiplayer i have been stuck playing singleplayer which im fine with except for the ai being stupid often times. ive played quite a bit of matches and i haven't noticed any hacking or anything despite what people were saying on teh forums, so i thought they were just overrexaggerating. But after a game i had last night i must say i find this to be true. I was sedna and i was raping(not a big accomplishment since its ai of course) i was like 17-1 and my ally torchbearer was 8-3ish. I thought the game was goin to be over fairly soon at the 45 min mark since we were pushing hard and they kept dying, but after a trip back to the base when i come back oak and erberus are impossible to kill. I would unleash my yetis and minotaurs and use pounce and torchbearer would be casting frost nova and ice storm, but they would regen their health as quickly as we would damage it. honestly i used a pounce, hurt oak 1,000, and he regened it in less than a second, no joke. on top of this i noticed their movespeed was increadably high as well as their attack speed. it was unbelievable them getting 3-4 hits before i could get 1 in.

So now i believe what a lot of people have been saying about ai hacking, and i think it has something to do with them maybe not having any item slots so they can get maximum amount of items or something. I know on nightmare they get a ton of extra gold and im pretty sure they get more experience, which is fine with me because it makes for a challenge. but allowing them to hack too... thats just over the top (it makes it impossible). especially when your ai doesn't hack for some reason. I know this seems stupid, especially since i thought it was when i first read about it, but i hadn't noticed it either until it either until playing 20+ games with just ai. Since it starts becoming extremely noticeable if the game drags on for an hour and not noticeable at all if teh game ends after 40 minutes.
