Arena AI changes - Oct 2020

tron2050

Recently (Oct 2020), Kabam announced changes in Arena matchmaking system and AI.
According to the official information from Kabam, new AI was supposed to be more aggressive and throwing sp1/sp2 more often.
But, instead I found new AI to be more passive; difficult to parry defender and difficult to bait sp1/sp2.
Have you noticed the same?

With new matchmaking system it could have been still manageable (Original intention was to be easier matchmaking than before).
But, as Kabam announced on 10 Oct, they will revert the changes for matchmaking.
So, Arena grinding will become more difficult than before.
Was it smart move by Kabam to enforce more difficult AI?

Certain champs haven’t thrown specials, but most of them have been throwing them more

Exactly..
Maybe AI is more generous to @SpideyFunko

I fought 450 fights in the 5 star featured arena. The defenders were throwing specials quite regularly. However the ai was behaving poorly and it was difficult to parry. They are keeping the new ai which is worrisome but hopefully we get accustomed to it.
