AI… it’s not fixed. Onslaught in particular.

For some reason Onslaught in particular literally is a complete and utter toss up- on whether or not you get him to give you openings or not.
I can’t even begin to tell you, how many times players who don’t know matchups in BG’s at all this season; get bailed out by Onslaughts ridiculous AI.
Just lost a match where not only did I get light intercepted twice, the AI also predicted my intercept and dashed back frame perfectly- to then hit me with a combo right to the face.
How are we supposed to beat this?
If you can’t fix the AI issue, never bring back AI reliant nodes to the GC ever again. Thanks.

It isn't just him, it's all defenders. It feels worse in BGs because you are trying to intercept to get the passive crit buff. Kabam have made the game far worse

Onslaught is a very lorge boi. All the very lorge Bois have funny AI's, especially venom who only needs to use a light attack to cross the entire span of the map instead of a dash.

The AI is fine

KingLotus

The AI is not fine you can’t intercept in almost all fights they keep holding block , they hold power, im valiant player with decent skill but this is not about skill anymore …. The game lost his charm with time (for me) i still do quests here and there but BG today whose my last day playing .. no point to play a game mode where im not enjoying ..

@TheeMakaveli It is understandable to be upset at the game, but making death threats will not be tolerated in these forums.

Onslaught is the worst though, hes basically an auto win for whoever drafts him

JT_Supreme

Onslaught has the absolute worst ai. The amount of times I dash in to him parrying me is absurd. And parrying hinders you so much against him. So I just don’t dash into him most of the times now.

I’ve watched this game gaslight, fleece, and flat-out lie to adolescents for years. My patience is about up.

Uninstall button should make you feel better , no one is forcing you to stay , not even trying to be stupid here , but if something is making you fell that way just let it go .

It HAS taken months.

Okay so you all will think I’m talking lies here, but Onslaught has probably one of the best AI’s in the game when I use herc, in other matchups the AI is not aggressive with infuriate, Onslaught is literally one of my favourites to fight against because he literally lets me intercept all the time.

Sometimes when he gets that crush he will insta sp1 and that’s annoying but other than that, Herc is always my go to for Onslaught.

It’s already took a few years. I think it’s a new feature actually

Literally every defender ai is trash currently especially bg and aw like sometimes ai just skips frames and does even more absurd stuff like using special attacks even though they were still getting up after you knocked them down

I’m so glad you and I are on good terms, your comments and the Ahmynuts guy- genuinely do always make me laugh.
Not sure how you two think of them.

AI has been an issue for years now, and I’m honestly starting to think that Kabam is just using this to make a cheap and quick buck. Stalling our fixing it for as long as possible, before they start losing vast amounts of players in the game.
Afterall the more money you spend on war revives, AQ revives, or more marks in BG’s- puts money in their back pockets.

I just fought Jack o lantern in BG and his AI was PASSIVE AF!! It was insane how I could barely even get a parry because he never dashed in.
I was also using bishop who required lots of parries, since he wasn't going to dash in I tried holding block and trying to go for a re-parry instead which CONSUMED ALL my prowesses cos I was waiting for him to attack.
I literally timed out I'm not even joking, it's like he knew what NOT to do.

EDIT- Also got light intercepted twice cos I'm using bishop who has LITERALLY no light reach so I have to go for medium intercepts and the AI can choose to dash back instead and combo with a light, ohh well but here's the SS.
This was insane cos it's LITERALLY Jack o lantern, bro has literally no defensive abilities 😂 and I still couldn't finish the fight.

Ugh this and Serpents hammer strikes which are bugged to all hell if we are supposedly able to side step it. It’s a coin flip on how much distance it travels and if I’ll be allowed to not get hit by it. He already is annoying enough, but that feature where he breaks his own rules is one of the most frustrating experiences of his design

@NONYABIZZ Try fighting a night crawler with this AI

Ps: Its not fun. Keeps switching block in micro seconds. Can't hit him on block, can't intercept. Parry heavy and hope the opponent got rushed by the FBI.

Everyone is placing Onslaught on defense because of his AI in this GC meta.

They know very well it`s not "fixed", it`s not supposed to be fixed as in playable; it`s supposed to give you the illusion that it`s better while simultaneously making it even more challenging to play against.
The number of times players are getting intercepted with normal attacks, relic hits parried, nutty reaction times, impossible moves ie the AI backtracking from his initial move half way is off the charts. And of course, they are gaslighting everyone that it`s better, it`s something with a low impact because the AI has to choose every time from any number of possible actions (attack, hold the block, use his special, dashing back etc). There is no such thing per se, the AI will choose according to the best scenario to beat you, it will use whatever nodes or champs abilities against you to the point where you have no solution so you`re getting so pissed, you cannot play anymore so you will buy X offer which is supposed to give you an advantage against Y champ so you could enjoy the game again.
Whoever has expectations that this company will ever have CONSISTENT decent communication, be honest about what they`re doing and why, have clear boundaries in regards to what they will NEVER do to make money is living in lala land.
They will do whatever they have to to make money, including scamming crystal odds, giving you the exact catalyst or champ you don`t need or you`ve just ranked up as a 5/6* so that you`ll spend resources on the same champ which will prevent you from spending it on another one so that you`ll buy offers. Rinse and repeat. Go FTP or quit the game.

Don’t know about advantage. They built an Onslaught counter where you have to intercept and sold him for $500… 💀
