AI not throwing specials as much?

Has anyone noticed the AI hasn’t been throwing specials as frequently when you try to bait? They seem to do it more when they’re low health. Maybe I’ve been having bad luck. Someone let me know if they’ve been feeling the same at all

I get you,

It supposed to be harder on harder contnet.
It is working as intended. The rng affects AI actions too and sometimes ai wants you to make a mistake.

Let it block for a bit... And then walk to hit its block, it will throw it right to your face and special intercept you.

Get your Titania to SP3, launch it…. Watch the magic happen

It sometimes happens but that's what the AI is like today

When you play passively to bait a special, the AI will mirror that passivity, creating a feedback loop where your cautious play actually discourages it from throwing its special.
Have you ever tried to get a dog to chase you?
Same principle.

There are some matches the game has decided you simply aren’t meant to win.

But don’t ever claim the AI has been modified. It is the same as it ever was.

Or even worse…it’s a red skull or moleman so you can’t hit into block and they sit there for 2 minutes…but then when you use your r3 or r4 Titania as soon as you get an sp3 off the AI is throwing a special before you can heavy once.

Whole thing is getting a bit ridiculous honestly

I just whiff attacks to get them going. Taunt champs are becoming more valuable like starky punk arcade and Kate and cyclops

Yeah this month I've noticed a lot more turtling from the defenders in BG, AW, and when health potion farming RoL. Last night wolverine wouldn't come out of hsi corner till he got back to 100%. He did it 3 times jn a row... Poor lil guy was scared.

Yet when one uses autofight, the player's AI controlling their champs is not remotely as skilled as the defender AI. It isn't consistent maybe that's something to think about

Nah check out onslaught ai auto fight. He reparries which is wild as I can’t do that myself

Expected and intended as well.
They aren't gonna give super saiiyan ai to our champs.
Uc can be autoplayed, rol can be autoplayed, which is all we cas ask. Better to not watch autoplay ai, it's infuriating lol.
