Kabam your AI is busted please fix it

The Summer of Suffering Toad absolutely does not throw specials even if I stand like an idiot without doing anthing with my block down. Swiping backwards or forwards no matter what he does not care.

It was so bad I had to check if he had some sort of more likely to throw special 2 or surging vengeance or something.

This should not happen unless you guys have secretly added this into this particular fight and did not mention it in the nodes. Please come clean if you did..if you did not please fix this garbage before this kind of infected AI spread to the other parts of the game.
I don't want an I-Robot style uprising happening int the game

How long has it been since you've fought toad? If you're using a champion with a huge dashback like onslaught, then baiting his sp1 is next to impossible, even in practice mode, whereas I hear that using a champion with a short dashback, like doctor Voodoo, makes it easier to bait the sp1.

This isn't a new issue that was put in with SoS toad, but has been an issue for quite a long time due to fun things Toad does.

I know about Toad's shenanigans. He likes to get backed up into his own corner and only use specials as his health is low.
But I never remember him being this bad and stingy at throwing specials. It was never the case that he did not throw specials for 5 mins straight no matter what I did.
So if a champion has larger dash back..is this how the outcome is supposed to be..this is a new low. I know about this dash back thing ..same with void. Just don't remember it being this bad.

Every time a champ is put into this type of content, the AI is tweaked to interact differently from their normal actions. Sometimes it’s the nodes that can lead to this, other times it’s shenanigans that lead you to want to break your phone…

Who gives a **** about a dashback distance. It shouldn't take this damm long for the ai to throw a special no matter who you use

It’s an absolute joke. The Vision fight he was throwing the SP1 regularly(ish) but using Hulkling it’s joke.

I don't know how much I can tell you, but what I can say is that the AI does care with how it is designed.

It is also one of the same reasons why tapping toads block a couple times helps him with throwing his special.

So completely means game is outdated code?
Old heroes like vodo can bait specials easily but new heroes must suffer?

He mentioned the size of the champ and their corresponding dash back, ie xl and s. It has nothing to do with how new they are, how did u get that out of what he said

Not only Toad, Onslaught’s AI was also like this.
