I just played a game against a team of bots

Other

I'm very confused right now. My friend and I just played a game against what appeared to be bots. They bought no items, cast spells completely at random, their names were all random strings, and none of them had set up their steam account yet.

Here's the match: http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1815025428

EDIT: Since it wasn't clear from the above link, this was unranked.

Their profiles:

Does anyone know what's going on here?

most likely a person on your team set up these 5 bots to get easy MMR, would queue that stack of bots the same time he queued in hopes of matching then would dodge if not

Doing whatever it takes to gain those sweet, sweet dota points.

EDIT: WAS NOT RANKED, so.... for the trophy points or whatever the hell Reborn has now?

This is actually awesome, you build up your XPM, GPM and KDA for a higher MMR in Very High Skill against bots :DD

EDIT: double checked, you're not smurfs, nevermind

As you can tell if you clicked the dotabuff link, this was Ability Draft, thus unranked, so I don't see how it relates to MMR. That's also why it's so confusing. I suppose I should report these accounts, and I would appreciate if you do so, too.

Ability Draft was plagued with bots since some time ago. I'd stay away from that mode until somehow the bots go away and find another mode to go to.

I've never seen or heard of that before, and I play AD all the damn time. I just don't get it.

It happened again. This time, I had one on my team.

Please take the time to report it.

Skill Bracket: Very High

What in the what?

I don't think there are brackets in Ability Draft. I played with Puppey once, for example. You'd have to ask someone at dotabuff how it determines that.
