[GAMEPLAY] BOTS AWARE OF THE REAL SHACO WHEN HE ULTS

I just recently finished playing a frustrating intermediate bot game with shaco. This is because the bots knew that my character was the real shaco when i ulted. Every time i ulted when i was low, the bots immediately went for me and completely ignored the clone. Throughout the game this happened, where i ulted and ran away, leaving the clone to attack the bots, but even though the clone was still there and closer to them, they went for me and let the clone hit them. I was also able to ult with low health, hide behind a wall and send my clone out, and they somewhat acknowledged it, but as soon as i came into clear field of vision, they passed the bot and went straight for me. A re-creation of this is fairly simple.

  1. As shaco, get yourself low enough to make the bots give chase 2. Ult while your running away and have the clone run straight for them and attack. 3. Watch as the bots brush past the clone and continue for you. After this game, i went on to try it one more time in an intermediate match, and the exact thing still happened. Im unsure if maybe a skin affects it, as at the time i was using the Nutcracko skin, and i dont know if it happens in begginer bots. But i do know it happens in intermediate bots for sure

Shaco's clone spawns in a predictable fashion, so it could be the bots have been programmed to tell the difference, more likely it's due to them seeing the clone as a minion rather than a champion as that's what it is coded as.
