When is the Arena AI going to be fixed?

The community wants simple answers to this.
iPhone/android seem to have people having issues with the AI not throwing specials Specifically after 10-20 matches into Arena. That we often have to push the defender to Sp3 and just hope for the best when they don't want to throw Sp2.
also occuring in other places such as AQ on certain maps.
At the same time AW AI seems to be completely fine for special throwing.
Why is this happening and what is being done to fix it and when will it be fixed?
Please do not point me to the ios/android complaint area, its been mentioned over and over, but has not been fixed for weeks and weeks, yet new arenas keep getting placed.

In the pre-15 (or even thru pre-20) matches of Arena, it has always tended to hold back on SP, and sometimes even once it reaches SP3 range it may even continue to hold back “sometimes” still. It's generally a “slower” AI, which thus includes not wanting to punish “new-ish” players with a barrage of constant attacks (including SP's). And it has ALWAYS been like that.
(following is in general, but also depends what team strength you use, and when)...
It's just most noticeable as people develop high enough rosters to even be able to get past Streak=10 whereby the stronger opponents can cause major damage from their SP3, and onwards up until you hit Streak=15.
(but “sometimes” this AI actually saves you if you reach their SP3 but they continue to not use it for another Combo or two of yours, maybe enough to finish them off without them actually ever wanting to use their SP3).
Once at Streak=15 you should be able to get opponents of equal strength to yours, so even if opponent still holds off until SP3 from time to time, it is not as lopsided of a match that you can’t just absorb most SP3 anyways (unless it’s by a Stun champ that can continue to do more damage to you afterwards).
At around 18 to maybe 20, the AI starts to increase into it's “faster” mode, which means using SP's more often once they reach those SP 1/2/3 levels. It's just that this “faster” AI is what people are more used to if they've been playing for a while, so they get frustrated by the “slower” AI that they have to get past before getting into the deep Streak.
Its either use control champs or die. How does this make for a better AI? It shouldnt require you to use specific champs to win, but be about skills, part of that is requiring the AI to throw specials.
