Played 2 games solo. Feedback/First impressions
Not a solo game currently, first few rounds spawn entirely too many creeps to even come close to handling them all before your ancient dies. Certain heroes are clearly better for round 1-4 than others, after that, its easymode until WK. Then its insta lose unless you have bkb and some sort of item that reduce's its cooldown. Got one defence against WK's stun and then died twice. watched helplessly as WK killed my ancient.

First game i played drow. Barely beat the kobolds. Finally got out of insane swarm phase and easymoded it until WK.

Played 2nd game as PA. Couldn't get past round 1. I was able to stay alive, but simply couldn't do enough damage to stop them from killing my ancient. Immediate fail.

It seems like a potentially fun game. but maybe nix the "you can play solo" part. Items have no tiered structure... its "normal items" then you're stuck with them until you either come up with 99999 gold or kill something after 20 and it drops an item. Want to figure out how to tier your items? go take a look at the top played custom game (epic boss battles). Maybe scale them back a bit, or leave them the same and scale the creatures up a little more.

Also, lifesteal didn't work at all. bought 4 separate lifesteal items. Had no other unique modifiers going, still no lifesteal.

Also, to prevent people from getting in a game and or attempting to solo on a hero that's clearly bad for it (until you fix the hero). Remove it from the list.

Just my 0.2. I'd like to play it, but it just seems like you're either op until a boss you simply don't have the items/damage for kills you, or you die immediately.. Maybe that's not the case, as I only played two rounds. but after the 2 rounds. I'm like "this isn't fun. I'm done". But I saw enough potential to leave feedback.

I realllllllyyy like the idea of a solo custom game. I don't always wanna play with people. Not to mention, Its been a long time since I've played a custom game where either I can't understand half the people playing, or people quit.

Anyway, I'll check back in a few weeks and see. but as for now, it got my thumbs down.

Well clearly your first mistakes were picking A) Drow and B) PA. Both of those heroes are not that good at soloing the gamemode.

Tiny, Alch, and WR have been most successful for me so far.

Alchimist ist insane. He gets TONS of gold. Every creep is pure gold. If you dont kill the spider in the early levels and just farm the little ones, man ... you wont know what to buy anymore ;)

Btw. try mini Fury or the big battle fury ;)

Ofc this game can be solo'd - at least pretty far in.
Ive come to the brewmaster round personally during the few tries i have had.
Soloing Single lane hard seems allmost like it is easier because u get more experience (dont u?!?).

In my experience, solo is almost entirely easier than with a team. This could probably change if you have a good team that all pick good heroes, but solo you are able to get so much more gold and experience that you become insanely strong. There's no issue of having to share sapphires, or who gets the first aegis, etc. Of course, solo means that you need to pick a hero who is good enough to solo it, and most certainly not every hero can solo it. Most heroes either are too weak to solo the early game, or too weak to survive the late game. This is for true solo though, not the two player version. The two player version is the easiest, as you get a lot more gold and experience than the 5 man team, but you have two people so you can still be revived, and one player can pick a hero to carry the other hero (which is stronger late game) to the late game.
You usually just want heroes that have an early game AoE damage source such as a nuke or cleave to take out the first two or three waves. Then after that you can let your item build carry you until you get to some of the later waves, in which you will need a hero that is capable of dealing a lot of damage to enemies or being able to survive all the damage being dealt.
The only real advantages to not being solo is the fact that you can be revived, and you can deal with enemies who like to go for the ancient rather than attack you easier.
