Probably bigger than you think. The AI has perfect information about everything in vision with few exceptions. If they have to use the standard UI they lose a significant amount of information as they only view a very small percentage of the map per frame + the minimap. Just think about the implications for team fights. If all the agents have different information about a fight, then you aren't necessarily going to see the uncanny stun stacking and perfect long range nukes. The AI cannot assume that all the other agents share the same information, and so the other agents might not be as predictable. I imagine fragmented information would dramatically change behavior, for the worse. They will probably act more like human players - more cautiously and with more mistakes due to "miscommunication".

One thing to note is that the AI does not orchestrate all 5 players on the team at once like 1 superhuman player would. Instead it runs 5 instances of itself on each of the heroes and they play together based on how selfish they need to be in any given moment. This earlier blog post[1] has some additional information about how the bot works, including an interactive view into the bot's eyes. >"OpenAI Five does not contain an explicit communication channel between the heroes’ neural networks. Teamwork is controlled by a hyperparameter we dubbed “team spirit”. Team spirit ranges from 0 to 1, putting a weight on how much each of OpenAI Five’s heroes should care about its individual reward function versus the average of the team’s reward functions. We anneal its value from 0 to 1 over training." [1] https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/ https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/
