User blog comment:Lykrast/Hard bots ?/@comment-3974211-20130921172623

The simplest solution would be to just reintroduce the gold-generation that intermediate bots had before they were "nerfed". Or rather, buff it back up to what it was. Basically pre-rework bots got massive gold generation (to make up for their terrible cs'ing). The bots then got reworked but still had that massive handicap bonus - and for a couple months it almost became impossible to win after 30 minutes (because 5 full build with Guardian Angels walking at you was terrifying).
