The big issue I have with the AI is they keep changing it's behavior with updates. Dropped inputs and lag are bad enough without having to relearn the game every 30 days.
I am not sure whether I am one of few who have suddenly experienced the increased skill from the AI's; let me explain.
I have within the last month or so noticed the AI, recovering significantly quicker from attacks. An example being dexxing Terrax's heavy and when going to punish getting parried or intercepted; this has happened to me with Doom as well. Unfortunately I do not have footage as it seems to be random.
I have also noticed that the AI seems to be special intercepting me more often, dodging specials (usually the first hit or so), hitting some incredible light intercepts (some of which put me to shame lol). The AI could be holding block in their corner with a bar of power and as they are holding block, I will aim to hit their block and they will launch a special right in my face.
I don't know whether I missed a patch note where they started to put the AI on a Steroid Cycle, or whether I am slowly losing the ability to play the game lol. This has been mentioned by others in my alliance so I hope it's not just us.
Anyone else? Or am I just trash
Light intercepts putting me to shame lol I thought I was the only trash player who cannot light intercept But there are many like me I see...
Edit: Nope you all are not the only one My alliance mates also suffer from this problem But we think that we all are just trash
Whenever I fight Venompool and Miles they special intercept me with their sp2s the moment they reach it so i have to bait it out. If i even attempt to attack into their block when they have a sp2 i'm getting hit 100%
Me too but I don't get intercepted by miles Also The AI is very intelligent nowadays I used to do 5 hit into sp but now I can't as the AI would just block it with light speed Also the baiting is just ridiculous work I remember myself getting in my corner from the opponents corner just trying to bait special The AI is just smarter than me now
I get constantly bullied in AQ, and had to restart some cav EQ paths, AI seems pretty juiced now, yes. Don't know if this is intentional or not, but if it is, its damn great time to launch this superb new butt-kicking AI, when we can't even relaibly move or attack.
I've noticed in AQ some of the defenders seem to know my attackers and I am not sure if it is coincidental or not. For example, when I enter a match with CG they will try to attack to let me parry, but when I enter a match with ghost, they dash back. Honestly a few months ago they would hit into my phase off the bat, but now they dash away from me until my phase is completed, its crazy!
I seem to be getting wrecked everywhere. It's all I can do lately to win some fights. Super fast AI playing flawlessly, beating me like I stole something. I'm losing fights that I'm normally able to easily beat with auto-fight. Impossible stun recovery, dashing completely across the screen in 1/10th of a second, dexing like a Dorky Dave Master Class, launching sps at odd times, etc. The AI throws a special...I get punished, I throw a special...I get punished. It's beyond ridiculous for the AI to be this fast, nothing "fun and exciting" about any of this.
It defo feels like I am losing more, especially in AQ. Partly due to this, but partly due to input issues. All of it just makes the game difficult.
It just means that I need to evolve with the evolving AI. And I'll be fine. Dropped inputs is the only issue which annoys me sometimes.
I am more than happy with the game evolving and I agree the input issues is a constant annoyance. I would like to know if they have changed the AIs though as they have never mentioned it.
Honestly reaching the end of my time in this game. Been six years and this is plain ridiculous. Came here to see if others were experiencing the same, so glad it’s not just me. Arena used to be a mindless grind but becoming impossible. This game is no longer fun, it’s now becoming work, sorry Kabam I already have a job…
EXACLTYY I was feeling sad like an hour ago thinking i suck at the game cuz i cant even win arena match ups I got special intercepted twice by capiw There can only be 2 possibilities 1. Kabam has made the ai super ridiculous behind our backs 2. The ai is learning....its learning fast...soon we're gonna be the defenders in a quest, they're coming to a realization i dont quite want then to
Weirdly, CapIW sp2 has always been a special I have dexxed 99% of the time....but i have been intercepted by it loads recently!
Yesterday I fought UC Sersi and it didn't went really well for me. I used Doom and when she knocked me down with her sp 2 then she dash forward right away at me while Doom is still in the motion of getting up. I'm like "WTF??" the AI can do that now? I swear Doom was just about to get up and she charged forward straight away.
I also had the same issue using Doom against Sersi. Hit me with a SP1 and before I was able to stand up she had dashed forward and started another 5 hit combo, whilst I was still on the floor. I mean, really Kabam?

I can light intercept, but not as well as the AI haha. I am more a medium intercept kind of guy. I am glad to see I am not the only one, I genuinely thought I had just progressively deteriorated lol.
Definitely have noticed more lately that they are just refusing to throw their specials. No matter what the quest or nodes... Which results in trying my best to bait the special for then to eventually get me up against the wall and then they have an sp3 game over. Getting tired of it now. A few quests recently ive had to restart because of it, and it is making things less enjoyable. Do I really need to take taunt champs for every quest now 🤔🤷

I have experienced the same with AI not wanting to throw specials as much.
What happened to not changing anything without explicitly saying so in a post? I know it’s been a minute, but where did the action point go? The Ai runs right up to you now. And waits to close the distance before they will swing. The only videos on the entire internet about the combat of this game are Dorky Dave’s Videos and are totally useless now with all these Ai Changes. But then again, he’s “Kabam Dave” now. I’ll let you decide if the two are related.
It's very tricky to intercept nowadays without risking getting punished either by a basic combo or specials. I don't think we're wrong here, the AI is smarter now somehow. We've been playing this game enough to know something has gamed. I dunno if it's related to the bugs crisis we're experience or something different on it's own cos I've been getting some input drops. Ex. I tap MLLLM and the last M won't connect and get hit as if they've intercepted my combo. Other times, the L won't connect shortening your combo in the end. I wish I had videos but it's so random
I came here after getting punished 3 times by Terrax in Cavalier EQ. The AI is crazy.. Terrax throws his combo so fast that I can't even swipe back.. always getting hit by his 2nd or 3rd light attack. But I know, we have to deal with it... Kabam is not listening or they are too busy in preparing for Gifting event.
I would just like to add a follow up. I today in war (where it seems to be particularly bad), tried to punish A mix-Mastered Korg Special 1. I got parried. I dexxed the last blast and dashed in to get parried and then 5 hit combo'd. This was not only on 1 occasion, but 2.
I either tried to dex the sp1 and my dex didnt register, and even if I did, I got parried then slapped. I cant win!
How bout the special bias some champs have....War machine just throws that sp1 into my block. Other champs throwing random heavies. Cannot wait for AI Quake to shake and bake us.
Here's my gripe... The .ai should have to play by our rules. At no time can I stop their 5 hit combo and throw my special. And yet they can now. At no time can I be mid intercept and magically block to a parry. They can. Also at times it's like the .ai speeds up to 1.5x and can magically chain 2- 5 combo hit attacks back to back complete with a parry immediately. Also notice they are starting fights with heavies before I even try to parry. Also they have a little glitch every now and then going into their combo to throw off the parry timing. It's like a mini hesitation.
AQ seems to be the place I notice this the most because AQ should be learnable due to the same paths etc. But I'll notice 1 day everything is on hard mode, then magically the next it will be back to the old mode where the .ai will hit into a parry and throw their special on time. It's frustrating because the .AI should only be able to do what the player can.
This. So many times they go straight into a heavy. Notice it mostly in war and incursions sometimes aq. Not in act 7 too much.

Dropped inputs is the only issue which annoys me sometimes.
I thought I was the only trash player who cannot light intercept
But there are many like me I see...
Edit: Nope you all are not the only one
My alliance mates also suffer from this problem
But we think that we all are just trash
Also The AI is very intelligent nowadays
I used to do 5 hit into sp
but now I can't as the AI would just block it with light speed
Also the baiting is just ridiculous work
I remember myself getting in my corner from the opponents corner just trying to bait special
The AI is just smarter than me now
I mean, really Kabam?
@Kabam Miike @""Kabam Zibiit"
Intercepting 50% of my heavies is the new norm for ai ang the other 50% Besing able to block a special mid combo
The AI is crazy.. Terrax throws his combo so fast that I can't even swipe back.. always getting hit by his 2nd or 3rd light attack.
But I know, we have to deal with it... Kabam is not listening or they are too busy in preparing for Gifting event.
Bury your head in the sand and wait for people to stop shouting about changed AI.
