normally i play wit ai at home because no internet.....

Actually to be honest, AI and human players are very different. The gameplay is different in the sense that AI will always push all the way to the throne. Human players on the other hand, after push first tower will start to hunt for heroes..... delay delay game then when farm a lot d, then only push 2nd tower then proceed into enemy base

yes, you can, let us know if you able to beat all 5 insane AI in your shortest time, er with you yourself no AI for your side...

Well i could say AI dont have teamwork lol

four easy ai to be feed will be fair enough because u will know what to buy when u have 700 plus starting money.

four easy its to "easy" ler...

Only use it to practice remembering recipes and last hit/denying in the simplest form. After that, stop. Move to human players, although the transition will not be easy with people scolding you n00b and all.

i mean ON YOUR SIDE to be feed by FIVE OPPONENT which is insane.

u can improve, but there is limit on how much you can improve. and you will never learn the most important thing in dota, which is teamwork.

and some luck is also important.

Try to win the game without killing any ai's then confirmt you are pro.

i play my ai to improve my winning streak

Learn = yes, have fun = yes , improve = yes , improve to the point that can own average players = no , pro = no

nice topic lol. i am a total noob in dota...when i play in cafe or flying spaghetti monster many people ask me to train with AI first before playing with people... But some of them and my roommates pula ask me to play more with human, like in cafe or flying spaghetti monster, cos they say playing with human can learn a lot of valuable experience and grow which one can never learn in AI games.they also dun suggest me playing too much AI cos they say once a newbie like me get used to the AI style it is hard to change and play with human

so now i am totally confused: who's words should i follow? lol

for first hand noobs, to avoid being cursed from father mother to ancestor, plz AI first to learn the basics in dotaing, skills, recipe and built, as u understand more plz play with real humans.
rafael .. who told u playing style very hard to change? michealangelo? leonardo? donatelo? ... u go CC play lose until pants come down see u change anot.

i play wif AI to cure loneliness...

connection very bad nowadays...

Ya, BNET connection very bad..

Play with INSANE AI just to practice weapon spell combination, last attk kill creeps, killing heroes using appriate strategy, weapons and combos. If can kill those AI heroes, most likely u can kill other real Dota players.

im quite new too
what i can say is, play with AI to know what items will suit the hero of your choice
humans and AI are different, that is an undeniable fact
so in short, you can only go so far with just playing with AI, ie to learn about the game

last time when war3 was still a game, i train myself by playing with 2 AI, 1 insane and 1 normal. i managed to beat them and i learned money, unit and a little micro management. so when it comes to playing 1 on 1 with humans, i may still get pwned

yea..theres limit on what u can learn with AI
can practice item purchase combo, learn to use the hero, creep/deny practice
these skills are enough for you to excel in public games
further learning on teamworks, harass , counter hero etcs really need to have real dota experience
of course playing dota with humans lets u learn twice faster (after u passed beginner stage)
