Can "Versus AI" mode get settings beyond "Elite"? Like an Elite+ mode where the AI starts to cheat or gets awesome abilities?
Something like this LoL mode. I kid you not, if this mode was permanently available, rather than being a short-lived feature, I would probably still be playing League of Legends with my potato friends.
Thing is, while HotS does offer a great variety of PvP experience, sometimes you just don't want to play against people. Maybe you just went on a losing streak and need to chill a bit, maybe it's that time in the evening when everyone is drunk/high/distracted and would rather go blow up some bots in spectacular fashion. It's the same thing as SC2.
But unlike SC2, Elite bots just don't offer much challenge because they don't cheat. And they really need to. A full on Doom Bot mode would be fun, but it doesn't need to be that involved. Elite+ could just be involve a 4v5 or 5v6 matchup, or tip the objectives towards the AI (by making them start out claimed for the AI team, for instance), or give the bots all talents. Then Elite++ could push this even further and so on.
This just seems like such a low-effort way to provide a baseline PvE experience for people that want to take an occasional break from the main attraction.
