Sneaky Kabam (AI)
I’m pretty sure most people have noticed the issue with the combat AI.
Originally it was enclosed to the BG AI, and most people exclusively noticed it there, however, the issue with the AI has surfaced in most other areas of the game.
I don’t know whether it was a move from Kabam to make the matches less boring and repetitive, or to give a stimulating challenge to players in each match, or…
Simply a way to make more money from purchasable revives and health potions.
The Combat AI now:
- Lands full MLLLM combos without fail
- Regularity engages in special intercepts on the player, dashing back only to immediately use a special attack
- Consistently uses the dexterity mastery
- Becomes aggressive and defensive based on where doing so would be the most harmful to the player’s situation
- Engages in light intercept behaviour on a regular basis, so much so that chasing intercepts in BG is a death sentence.
And in BG it’s even worse
- Combat AI parries incessantly, handicapping much of the player’s freedom of movement
- The AI is capable of parrying heavy attacks, special attacks, dashing in, anything
- The AI heavy intercepts
It’s just annoying at this point because it’s dead silence from the game team, and snotty players immediately flock to these posts to act chivalrous for the poor Kabam.
The AI is at 11, put it back down to 8 or 9 please
