Okay, since when the AI perform special intercepts?

I just dashed into Miles and that mf just retaliated with a sp2 right to my face. I was not made aware of any changes to the AI that would make it so this and it has never happened before.

    You're saying that the A.I shouldn't be able to throw a special as you're dashing in?

    Yeah they've been doing this for awhile...even more annoying is when your hitting they're block trying to push them to two bars of power, they will special intercept you if they feel so inclined

    A couple of champs do that, miles sp2 ,VP sp2 ,herc sp1, Mordo both and some others

    Some champs like miles, jane foster, venompool etc usually throw their sp2's the moment they get them, guess they are designed to behave like this.

    Kabam is really toying with us ...they are not allowing us to play with real players...only 2 out of 10 are real players rest I think may be bots

    There are other problems.
    AI intercepting with specials isn't one.

    More concern for me that the AI is now using reparry. That thing can parry now better than I do 😄

    Especially in battlegrounds. I used to hit their block a couple of times if normal baiting didn't work or even just for some spacing and now I'm getting reparried on the 2nd or 3rd hit on the block

    they can even dex specials now

    If you are fighting a defender that has mastery's like in BG's, War and Arena, it should be possible. A.I should have all the same abilities as us players. Non-player defenders that don't have mastery's, can't dex. They can however dash backwards but it's not considered dex'ing.

    One of the smartest AI move I've seen these days is the double light whiffs that the AI does after u have an infuriate on them
    U are waiting for them to dash in & they just throw 2 lights in the air, & the 2nd one connects more often than not

    For about 7 years of MCOC's existence, AI would only use mediums when at a distance & lights when they were close enough to get a connection....this is what made intercepts a lot safer in those days
    Then they started doing light intercepts
    And now they just randomly keep throwing lights in the air when we try to dash in

    How are you guys just getting AI like this now? I've been special intercepted, had AI wait out prompts, hold specials until power sting runs out, been backdraft intercepted, etc for years. Not saying it has been common but it has definitely been possible.

    The worst of all for me, is when AI completely ignores my 1st hit of a heavy and throws his special. ANd now this is happening to specials that don't have separated moves, like, for instance, I had in the morning Colossus interrupting Ghost Rider's heavy with his sp1.

    I had Thing drop block when I was hitting it to build power to go unstoppable and punish me twice recently. That was super fun.

    This is exactly what I've been experiencing, I've described it above as well

    This one may actually be a bug. I have my champs doing that from time to time, especially in EoP, after Thanos' animation before phase changing, I don't even have my fingers on the screen and my champ is hitting the air.

    I took CGR into a fight against Ultron today and I kid you not, Right as I was about to launch SP2, the screen froze and my controls went dead. Ultron stopped fighting stood straight up and said “You can’t do that, Dave.”

    ...but your name is William! Bogus! :D

    The AI can also throw specials now mid heavy if you rush in to punish it 😂 they got some new skills, but Kabam said they did nothing so must be true.
