So Intimidate is just a worthless debuff now?

3 matches in a row, Titania throws sp3 I go to punish and the ai throws its special.
What's the point in having a set rotation when the debuff doesn't work?
Honestly Kabam, what are you doing with this AI? Whatever you're doing just stop, you're messing it up more and more, it is somehow getting worse by the day 🤦♂️

Try to get a panther special intercept for the AI to back off and stand there waiting
"Yeah the AI is super busted so I'm not surprised if that's the culprit but also read the description of her intimidate, and you will have your answer"
I'm just saying that her intimidate is only a 30% so it's entirely reasonable for the AI to throw a special with only 1 on 3 matches in a row
100% intimidate and 30% intimidate would have the same impact on the AI, different impacts on block proficiency
The AI weirdness at the moment has affected intimidate though, and is being worked on so hopefully it does get back to normal soon.
Ditto on infuriate for panther and herc.
It’s a knock on effect, but you’re right that it doesn’t specifically say that intimidate stops specials.
It’s the same way that infuriated opponents end up throwing specials because you’ve made them dash at you, and if they’re dashing at you and aggressive and open they’re less likely to be blocking and far away, so they’re more likely to be in a position where they throw a special.
So an opponent that is dashed back in the corner holding block is less likely to be throwing a special, which is why people realised that intimidated opponents tend to throw less specials.
My issue is when an infuriated AI with no specials banked still stays far away and holds block. OR when an intimidated opponent is still super aggressive and throwing specials instead of blocking.
They work sometimes others they dont - when something is this unreliable it is difficult to rely on it.
