To be fair, that's a little like saying Deep Blue had an advantage because it could try out thousands of possible plays simultaneously. That's true, but what makes humans good at Chess for example is that we have a really good "intuition" at which moves are good, and therefore we can prune non-promising branches in the decision tree better.

Similarly here, the AI can definitely do a lot more things at once, but each individual thing they do isn't very smart. For example, they waste money on useless wards or waste time sitting in front of Roshan. We can of course keep pushing the goal post, but I think if the AI can win with the given constraints, it's still a huge accomplishment.

Even more importantly though, it would be interesting to see if the AI is able to come up with new strategies and techniques that weren't known before.
