The AI got really messed up... after a 5 hit combo the opponents will just stand there without blocking and then they start running towards you
It’s like the whole game has become like map 5 doombots
Kabam please do something ASAP and fix this annoying issue please

    Yeah, I agree! They run/walk towards you after a combo and just stand in front of you regardless of whether you're blocking. Really weird and annoying.

    I dont have a video, but you can see it in Seatin's nerfed champion boss fight video where he also points it out.

    I experienced this in 6.4.4 on the Energy Adoption: Lightning - 1 path. I've been fighting through this path repeatedly over the last few days and only after the update have I experienced the AI repeatedly walking towards me. It makes it far more difficult to bait specials or intercept. Intercepting is critical to this path as it reduces the Don't Go Gentle meter. Instead the opponent just walks you back against your own wall.

    This behavior is visible on Seatin's most recent video showing the changes to the 6.2 Champion boss fight:

    https://youtu.be/eBwZY3Dv8Ic?t=215

    You can see it at approximately 3:40 and 3:55, and I'm sure elsewhere.

    I haven't had the chance to attempt (no energy), but this feels like it may make backdraft intercepting non-viable.

    They are passive and do not act they way they did before the update

    I am doing 5.3.5 exploration. Fought BPCW Boss before update, and than just fought him again after update. He was definitely less aggressive after the update.

    A few times it looked like my champ and BPCW were just having a staring contest

    AI’s definitely acting funny, for instance when you complete a combo, they’ll just bizarrely stand there, completely open for a moment

    Ok, i love this. Just fought a thor in act 5. He walked right up to me and than stood in normal position and let my Doom go to town. This is gonna make my exploration a lot faster.

    Dr Doom now rules asgard

    Something is definitely different. It feels like all of the AI turned into map 5 doombots. Also, I’ve noticed that if you hold block, the champions no longer hold their block, they just stand there looking at you.

    @Kabam Miike Something is definitely off - it seems like map 5 doombot AI was loaded into the rest of the game rather than being removed from map 5.

    But isnt it a good thing they arent blocking

    They only start to block once you dash at them. They behave similarly to map 5 doombots. I was testing out the recent hulkbuster buff in ROL and they just wouldn’t block until you attacked them. The doombots did that as well.
