Autofight not blocking

vertiGo

Hi, during this last update I noticed I was getting significantly damaged running Master chapter 1 EQ compared to usual whilst autofighting. I've been watching my fights whilst at work today now, and noticed that my champs never use their block. Is this a known bug, or have I just had unusually bad luck?

Before I get told to just run the fights myself, I can run auto whilst I'm at work without too many headaches, but I cannot play during these hours, so I use it to cover lower content to actually get some rewards still.

For real though, no one else bothered about this?

probably cause i dont think people would risk autofight on master? most people autofight only normal and heroic i think

It's the same on those difficulties though, currently it's all of EQ, haven't tried anywhere else in game though

Ive noticed it too... Its ridiculous...

When fighting their AI , the opponent, intercepts, evades you an even parry you, but when we use autofight, our champs just stand there for several seconds till the opponent starts hitting you right in the face

I never noticed, till you brought it up
Can’t even remember if they blocked or not
But I imagine it probably would have something to do with Colossus being able to take down Winter Soldier using Auto Fight.
I’m not sure, so correct me if I’m wrong

I tried to make a thread about this, but I think it got taken down or something? Yes, autofight AI suffers from low IQ. Any aggressive AI wipes the floor with autofight. This month it's storm. Autofight on heroic gets his ass whipped.

I mean, that's not true though, I've still managed to clear heroic on Autofight, just with much higher damage counts on each champ. It's nothing to do with how aggressive the other AI is, my complaint is that the Autofight AI literally never blocks, whereas in other months it has at least occasionally used it's block.

It could be my device, idk? The dude basically just stands there and dies on that storm boss.

I noticed it too. I am usually playing heroic on auto, still using my maxed 5* but AI never blocks.
AI was always dumb but before the latest release "our" AI was at least trying to block occasionally.
Can someone from the moderators let developers check this?

This looks like the recent changes that have affected computer AI in fights have fixed this, autofights are now using block and are able to parry again.
