I would really like the ability to use my L1 or L2 when at full power. So many times I've missed out on my chance to use Hyperion or Hawkeye's DoT inflicting L1 because I got caught by a combo(or in Hyperion's case, simply Power Gained past it).

Or at the very least, remove the ability from the AI when it's not a challenge event or chapter/act boss, because it's simply not fair.

    The AI only has this ability if its not allowed to use the L3. If the AI didn't have this ability you could just push Champs to their L3 and since they can't use it they would be unable to use another special in the same fight.

    You would rather the AI used SP3 when at full power instead?

    I would like both participants of a fight to be on a level playing field.

    Not in my experience. Happens in the arenas all the time.

    No, it doesn't. I have never once been hit with the wrong special in arena and I've been playing for two years.

    that's because they have sp3 active in arena. Its impossible however for an arena champ to hit you with a sp2 when at 3 bars of power. In order to be on the "same playing field" your sp3 would have to be completely disabled. While this is honestly not a big deal for most champs, as sp2's often do more damage, it is still not the original intent surrounding the blocking of defending ai's sp3. This is only done in easier content arenas where you can expect to find newer players, and is meant to lower the punishment of not baiting specials correctly.

    And it's entirely unheard of for people to have differing experiences, isn't it? Regardless, whether you believe me or not isn't the issue. I'm not the only one who's noticed that AI has the capability to use a special without using all their stored power.

    I’m completely with you all on the “this guy is nuts” train, but lets be open to what he’s saying. He might have an issue where, in arena, the wrong special is used. However, then it would be a bug and would need to be fixed. Not in the “let’s disable out own S3’s to be on level playing fiels” fixed, but should need to be looked at.

    So OP, if you truly believe this happens in arena, send in a support ticket and post the issue in the bugs and known issue part of the forum.

    Now for the suggestion part of all this, althoughthe reasoning is really flawed, I wouldn’t mind being able to pick which special I use. I’ve seen multiple posts ablut that in the past, one had even made a beautiful picture of how it could look ingame. Maybe it would be best suited for a limited time event.
