I don't think so.  At high level games, most of the time an AI means a loss because the AI isn't all that good at coordinated attacks, flag locking logical targets, going for portals, etc.  But even if the AI wasn't there, you'd still be 3v2, and at a high level of play, that should mean you can't possibly win. 

My solution, though it sounds unfair, would be to keep the lousy AI, but make their deaths worth 0 EXP and 0 gold.  Then, if they die, its not as bad for the team stuck with them (and I'd think that would end any argument you have about removing AI completey). 

Sorry to dig this up , meant to get back to it sooner.

50% would still be bad.... Imagine instead of milking the easy 1.6k gold you can just go get 800gold.... still easily worth it...

I think maybe 10% gold and 10% exp... that way their is still a reason to kill it... but the gains from doing it wont create such a gold advantage for the one team....


And yes at high level games.... but theres always a small chance and it depends when it happens.... Its like in any MPlayer game... go in with a handicap and you'll generally lose... if you get handicapped maybe 1/2 way in.... you have a chance if you've been leading up till then.... of course it makes it way harder....
