Why arena play has Sp3 active?

Dear kabam,

Arena is already tedious enough, it’s a chore and we realize sometimes you have to get dirty to get work done, or in this case units and BCs for the game. We understand and reluctantly accept it for the most part. However, we have seen enough Sp3, for example in flow wars, that we don’t need to see it every day in arena because the AÍ will not throw a special. We don’t need to practice baiting from an AÍ that isn’t going to throw a sp2 anyway. Easy quality of life change, just take off Sp3 in arena please. Why are we spending 2 minutes baiting thing when we end up just taking Sp3 to the face anyway. We could have cleared 2 rounds of arena by this time. Why is this necessary? Please turn it off.

    The s3 is there because you’re facing champs of another player like aw, they need to make the ai more aggressive imo rather than not allow sp3s

    100% agree with you lvernon15 they should make the ai more aggressive especially in the bane chapters in 5.2 it makes it so hard

    This has always been the case, and I don't see why it should be changed now.
    It honestly doesn't bother me. And if you have to push them to a sp3 then just do it, it won't kill you in the majority of scenarios

    I beg to differ here. If you have someone running full suicides a special 3 will kill you a majority of the time.

    I do agree with lvernon though. Just make the AI a bit more aggressive and it solves the issue.

    The AI is already aggressive enough, if you are above a streak of 20

    Sometimes yes, sometimes they’ll stand and block for ages and not do anything

    Just like doombots
    The trick is to select medium or hard ai
    Easy AI fights like a little kid, who just holds their left hand on the screen
    If I get a special from Easy AI, it's a miracle from the sky

    You do know that you also sometimes need to spam special 3 while playing with certain champs, don't you?. For example, i think you'd like to use Mephisto's sp3 to drain your opponent's 2 bars of power and activate your burning aura for the rest of the match. I know it's boring to try baiting specials to prevent the opponent from spamming sp3 but your request will definitely affect us in a negative way in some scenarios. Think about it.

    I think op is referring to the opponent having sp3

    A new thing to whine about! Why should they get rid of sp3s? It's part of the champion weapon set, especially when you are going against another players profile. If you can't handle this aspect, then you shouldn't be playing, I mean seriously!

    Agreed agressive AI would be a much better change. It appears the death match ai is as passive as ever.

    Why is it an issue? Have been playing since near the beginning. This is the first time I've seen it brought up as an "issue". If you're too lazy to bait, that's on you.

    I see the point on new reporting, but being too lazy to bait certainly isn’t what’s being brought up, they simply do not throw specials no matter what sometimes

    Fighting Thing in streak 1-5 is the worst. Darn rock would not throw a special at all and you end up getting cornered while he is unstoppable.
