This is a custom map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (patch 1.26–1.28 era), based on Dota 6.85 (the famous balance update from Dota 2's 2015–2016 period).
It combines two major features:
LoD = Legend of Dota / "OMG" mode
You draft any 4 abilities (Q, W, E, R, plus a model/innate) from a pool of ~400+ hero skills. No two players have the same custom hero.
AI = Artificial Intelligence
Bots can pick abilities, lane, use skills, buy items, and defend/attack – allowing you to play 1v5, 2v3, or practice drafts alone.
Version note: 6.85 was a high-water mark for hero balance before 6.86 (invoker rework, arc warden). LoD 6.85 AI keeps that meta's item/tower mechanics but adds custom skill interaction rules. dota map lod 6.85 ai
If you are coming from standard 5.84c or 6.83, brace yourself for these changes:
| Feature | Standard DotA | LoD 6.85 AI | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Skill Draft | Fixed per hero | 3 normal + 1 ultimate from any hero | | Hero Model | Determines stats (agi/str/int) | Same—stats are tied to model, not skills | | Ultimate Availability | Lvl 6/11/16 | Lvl 6/11/16 (some exceptions with -fun) | | Item Availability | Up to 6.85 | Full 6.85 shop + LoD-specific items (e.g., Tome of Retraining) | | AI Behavior | Basic push/farm | Uses smoke, stacks ancients, chains disables |
