AI not throwing specials (yeah same old problem)

Look, if I'm complaining too much I'm the bad guy here right? So I want to ask Kabam dev team nicely to change this.

Make it easier for players to bait specials. The AI just dashing back and forth non stop. It's really annoying when you got cornered. There is nothing else you can do about it. So please do something about this. Thank you.

It's been happening a lot of times

Literally just had a war fight where I had the opponent cornered and spent almost a minute trying to bait the sp2 before getting pinned in the complete opposite corner. All while dealing with the botched dexxint inputs with the beta patch. Simply not fun in any way

This is a real problem! And it needs addressed! It is getting ridiculous! Particularly in alliance quests!
Kabam has put power gain champs, with unblockable specials on way too many damn nodes. It is impossible to bait out specials and has been done to set us up, i believe, to spend.
Spending 2 minutes dodging in match, while the defender charges up to their 3rd,
Is getting old! Fast!
I have already told my alliance that once kabam starts reaching into our pockets to complete war and aq we will make them voluntary rather than mandatory, or we may not play them at all!
Your "pay to win" plans are working! But way to obviously!

For me, the A.I. is not even throwing sp3 which is fun.
I have lots of revives and potions expiring.. So, I thought it's better to die on sp3, revive and finish faster.

I don't understand why that thread posted above was closed, it was a good post to have a discussion with good feedback from the player base. For me one of the main problems besides glitches in parry/dex, is the speed advantage of the AI.

In the closed post, they stated the AI was not intentionally changed, but many people see an obvious change. If it was not intentionally changed, then was there an update to the Unity graphics engine? Some back end change, perhaps has affected how the AI is perceived and perhaps how it visually appears. Missing frames in a AI response, could make it look like the AI is being superfast for example, and I've had fights where the defender "appears" to move faster than light. I've submitted the new bug report, though the form needs a section for "additional comments" so that we can provide more context.

Thank you for reaching out with your feedback! We hear your concerns, and those within the community, surrounding AI behaviour. We will continue to pass the information along to our dev team. If you have a specific bug to report, you can do so in the Bugs and Known issues section of the forum.

@Kabam Miike thanks for responding and not closing the thread

@Kabam Miike how do we know something is a bug if kabam never acknowledges something is happening? According to your reply post about the AÍ. You say you get overwhelmed with basic complaints and we understand that. However maybe we could be more direct as a community to kabam with specific issues if they were acknowledged. For instance, is cable in map 8 with extra powergain and other nodes acting more like an AON node and either throws sp1 or sp3 60% of the time considered a bug? If so I could catalog all the fights for you to see his interactions.
Or the long shot which everyone knows about his sp2 in map 8. Where literally 60 seconds of dancing to bait an sp1 every single time a bug? It sometimes takes me 3 minutes for that one fight.
So can you acknowledge certain issues we have so we can more direct our issues to be seen and resolved?

I’m going to say I agree with this, I’ve lost a few BG matches due to the extra time spent baiting for specials. Maybe I shouldn’t of taken 1-2% block damage I did, maybe I should have used a special sooner, but having to dance with the opponent like it’s your first song at your wedding should also not be happening lol

There’s also a longshot on map6 who won’t throw sp1.
Super annoying fight.

There is like a specific champ who just won't throw sp1. They like to throw their deadly sp2.. Like Venom, Green Goblin, Longshot, etc.

Also champs who hogging all the power gain up to sp3 like Aarkus, Hype, Mordo, etc. Next 5 seconds game over.

I'm pretty sure they are just design to more likely throw their sp2 or sp3 but the fact that we have to dex 20 times just to bait sp1 is ridiculous.
