Historically, LoD maps had a problem: if the AI lost a Nether Ward or fed a kill, it would break pathing and stand still (memory leak). The 685 AI Exclusive removes the "Stay in Base" logic. Instead, it introduces Desperation Mode. When an AI lane is lost (Tower down before 15 minutes), the AI abandons the lane entirely and forms a 5-man deathball at the 10-minute mark. They will ignore creeps and hunt you exclusively. No human team does this. It is terrifying. | Issue | Fix | |-------|-----| | Game
