Well, maybe not technically, but it does make it much much easier to take in all of that info and process it. You can't expect a human player to keep a perfect record of all heroes' hp, mana, all damage being dealt, all abilities being used etc. during a chaotic fight, yet the API yields this information effortlessly.

And yet, the bots showed superhuman near instant reaction times. 200ms is a very low amount to process very complex/confusing audiovisual data and react precisely.
- komali2 8y agoI think you're just kind of hitting on the real difference between human and bots anyway. Regardless of if the information comes from the machine viewing the damage count and knowing exactly how much HP a given hero has at that level/gear/just by looking at the bar, or if the information comes from an API, the machine has a perfect memory of this and all other variables, whereas humans don't.
