the answer to that is definitely no. i've a universal ai mode, but there is so many issues.
blizzards broken data causing them to try doing stuff they cant (most noticeably Baptiste looking down to use immortality field every time he is hit)
objects are very difficult to work with (i never bothered but i know ConanNewone did and they has an issue they cant fix because once again its caused by blizzard)
then there the issue of if you want pathfinding (like me and that other person) you need to use a lot of your 32768 elements on the nodes and stuff. (only to be supporting a few big maps or about 10 tiny maps at most)
So basically no making ai is not at all easy or practical because of blizzard not fixing data and not adding support.
(that other persons issue wasn't that bad actually, the ai would just still target a few types of objects for about 4s after they are destroyed. but still not ideal)

Title's a lie, heavily implies there is workshop dummy bots.
Title is just worded wrong, I changed it just now. I noticed the dummy bot method but not sure if it's worth remaking bot behavior for each hero.
