Most supports are best at... well, support, meaning you need a team behind you to help you.
Though, if you want to play against AI, why not play with actual people? Even the worst are going to be better than your bots.
The VS AI bot teammates are the worst. I can't win a game in VS AI with all AI teammates. Even when I ping them all to follow me around they still don't actually do it. The enemy was on our core so I ran back to defend while they took an objective, so I got killed in a 1v5 while they were still walking over. After I died they just went back to the objective while our core was at like 20% and falling.
The only time outside of my first week or two where I've lost in VS AI is because our sonja was under the impression that "the curse is a crutch" so she never left her lane even while the enemy team was on our core.

I'm starting to think a friend of mine isn't as good as I thought he was. He seems to have tendency to go off on his own a lot when we should be grouping up, especially if he disagrees with whatever play someone called. I get that it sucks for someone to make a bad play call but still though, better to go as a team and maybe make it work than separate out and get ganked.
I also wish he wouldn't argue with nay-sayers quite so much. Again I get that it sucks for people to be calling GG early or chastise the team for doing something they disagreed with (like getting a sure thing kill in mines instead of going strait for big skull camps) but just ignore or give a quick reason for why we did what we did! We don't have to get into big arguments about it.

Yeah, HotS is very much a team game, and you have to commit to the team, even if you disagree with their tactic. Better to all commit to a bad plan than go it alone on a good one.
It's very difficult if the other team has any sort of skill at all.
Just like it's probable suicide for any one team member to try and "go it alone" without some specific tactic in mind.

So, servers are a total lagfest right now. I've never seen it this bad. Hard to get out a precision strike when you have a lag spike. Speaking of which, I LOOOOOVE imposing presence against a Nova because everyone takes the talent that increases attack but makes it slower. If she can't take me out in one ambush, she's not taking me down. Of course, it only really works if other heroes on the team rely on auto attack damage.
The actual play servers are currently down. No one can play. Too many Murkys.
The Butcher isn't that bad if you cc him. He's actually very squishy, he only feels like beastmode because he can brand a target and get huge health regen by attacking them. All you have to do is wait for the brand and then CC. If he can't attack, he can't heal.
Yeah, I'm seeing his weaknesses now. He is also kinda useless if he doesn't have stacks of fresh meat.
This might explain why I've seen people run up to me and shoot me even when I'm hiding in the weeds even when I was pretty sure I didn't have the red eye graphic over me.

Weeeelllll.... I blind shot into weeds all the time because I know people hide in them.
Yeah, I'm talking things like having a Tychus char just run up and start winding up the minigun on me, not area stuff.

Do you mean Run and Gun? It's completely a normal tactic to jump into bushes with it. If you're referring to overkill, that's impossible as you can't be targeted directly in stealth or in the bushes. I'm not saying that it's not possible to have someone using a maphack against you, but many tactics for flushing out people in hiding spots have been around since alpha. Any skill shot can be directed into an area where you think someone may be hiding.
