Raven's AI Dome

+

+ is a sandbox practice game mode for the Overwatch Workshop. +

+

+ Up to six players are spread across the map "Workshop + Expanse". Each player is put in a bubble against an enemy + dummy bot.

The player kills the enemy bot and progresses to + the next hero in the list when the "Kill Goal" is met.

The + player can select any hero they would like to practice on. The + enemy spawn distances and play area will automatically be + adapted to the optimal sizes for the chosen hero.

+
+
+
+

AI Bots

+

+ The bots have AI scripting for every hero that I have + meticulously programmed over many months. +

+
+
+

Scaling Difficulties

+

+ The are currently 11 difficulties ranging from "No AI Easy" ('No + AI' meaning they do not have AI or attack, but simply move.) to + "AI Bronze" to "AI Top 500". The difficulties named for + competitive tiers approximately reflect the aim, movement, and + reaction time of real players at those tiers. +

Sandbox Approach To Practice

+

+ Raven's AI Dome is designed so that players can configure + their own settings to best aid what they would like to practice. +

+

A few examples:

+

+ The player wishes to get better at + Roadhog's + Chain Hook combo against supports. +

+ +

+ The player would just like to practice a + Widowmaker 1v1 as long as they are + in queue. +

+ +
+

Development History

+

+ I started this project in January 2020 as soon as the "Workshop + Expanse" map was released on the PTR. +

+

+ The idea came from my first practice mode on the Practice Range that + spawned random types of enemies and gave them + very rudimentary movement. +

+

+ I knew I wanted something that would spawn enemies at random + distances from me facing a random direction. Initially I only + intended it to be a small Widowmaker warmup and flick practice mode. +

+

+ It is currently in the pre-release stage with changes happening + rapidly. +
