Remove AI from online play.

from Demigod Forums

Seriously I don't want a AI partner vs two real players because all it does is feed and makes me lose. When a player leaves a game let their DG be shut down or let the remaning players use the DG.

TBH i wouldn't mind telling the bot what to do as well. I think that would be more helpful e.g if im fighting off the 2 DG on the right side of the map getting the bot to take the flags on the left would be incredibly helpful as supose to it siting and fighting creeps in the middle.

Who on your team would get to control the bot?

But I agree with OP that bots need to be removed from online play unless intentionaly put there. My suggestion to would be when a person on your team rages quits it doesn't give you a bot, but instead removes the player entirely and gives a 10% dmg buff to the rest of the team. You would still be out numberd but at least the opposing team wouldn't be able to farm the bot for gold.

Ai's wont recapture locked flags... they are already lame, but that adds a huge double scoop of lame to it. Somehow 3 ppl in a game got simultaneously disconnected (they had different pings, so they weren't on the same connect) and I was left with all ai teammates. The other team who was losing at this point (I had been right on their doorstep long enough to take down most of their towers very close to cit) now started to take flags back and cap lock them. well since there was only one of me of course they could cap and lock flags faster than I could take them back, and the ai was absolutely no help, they would walk up to a flag, stand there, and leave before the lock even wore off. I've also seen an ai leave a regular flag before capping it, and have noticed that it's quite common. Well, I lost that game in the long run, but somehow ended with the most favor and all the awards.... thanks for nothing ai.

I obviously know that but  this topic needed another thread, I don't see any reasoning putting a AI into a online game vs human players. Since this game is alot like DotA when a player leaves we should gain acess to their items as well and gain more exp and gold due to being a person short.
