Remove -em mode

Many players have already agreed that em should be removed or that non-em is more suitable for the latest dota map.

Currently we host 6.81d on -em mode bots and 6.83d on non-em mode bots.
I suggest we remove em all together and go with ap ar rd non-em mode bots with the latest update.

Please remove all of the -em bots and update the map.

Remove as stated above the non-em mode will increase player to get to higher lvl of dota by focusing more in game, and overall game will be more balanced because in em modes mostly once game reaches late the carrys have auto farm even if they have no gold farmed because of the amount of gold that is given in em mode is..double. Besides i actually think it can reach out ot ppl who always watned to play ap mode who been missing them , and not only that the em players can as long term goal bring thier overall game lvl higher with actually last hitting + warding etc.

Why force people to play a mode? This will no doubt reduce the player base in both the short and long term.

It's a strategic decision and we dont force anyone. There're many -em bots but I simply dont see why they are needed. Dota 2 only has non-em, too and if you play dota, you should learn it properly in the non-em, too.

Adjusting to non-em should be no issue in the long term.

i totaly suport this topic!!! remove em modes will be great!

RD mode <3

i also suggest if one player leave game in first 5 min auto draw game , or if 2 players from same team leave in first 10 min auto rmk .

and one more suggest, if player leave game get -elo not importan if his team win or lose game.

have fun!!!

@buldozer

One suggestion per topic, you can post a new topic for your other suggestions. Auto draw first 5 min wont work since there are legit early strats.

-rd mode filling again would be great though.

I definitely support removing em.

as shown in above topic, almost everyone wants em removed. Only reason why people aren't playing the new map is because non-em bots take forever to fill. Removing em will change that of course. We should at least remove it temporarily to see how the community reacts.

[i_am_safe]

I would love if the ent73 bot was non-em, personally I stopped playing on OHS because of lag/delay but I really miss the non-em mode!

[F-Train]

@i_am_safe You can post a suggestion. We do have lod bots that are non-em tho.

[aRt)Y]

I recommend doing it like hyro said and test it with one major bot (apem us/ca or arem) first.

we have several -em bots (dota apem us/ca , dota apem euro, dota arem,etc); My idea/suggestion would be to change for example apem us/ca first, see community reaction (like 1-2-3 (max) weeks and see if games hosted decrease, etc) and continue this idea if all is fine - My instincts somehow tell me that a full change at once might not be the best idea

LoD should be left out for now though.

[vegeta(ksw)]

I support this, I stopped playing because non-em bots actually take more than 1 - 2 days to fill up (and some other reasons)

But by removing em modes might decrease significantly the number of players in ENT, that's risky.

I have talked to dota void mods too. Here is a suggestion thread on their forum: http://www.dota-void.com/forum/index.ph ... 555.0.html

They do not directly matter, but I think they are our closest alternative bot.

@uakf.b

What you think about making all dota bots ap / ar and having !votemode to vote for a mode?
