So with the last patch notes Kabam stated AI should throw more specials... is it just me or are they now constantly throwing into block?
Just had Doom throw his sp1 3 times whilst I'm holding block 😮💨

Like Doom is holding block, khushala will walk up to him, hold block, dex back and use special on Doom's block???
What? Like is this behaviour pre coded? Considering AI have shown tendency to dex back use specials immediately because it knows player will follow it's dex back?
Too many times the AI can throw a SP while still recovering from a heavy attack (they throw it but they're not fully up on their feet).
Too many times, the AI can dash back and immediately retaliate with a light attack when you try to dash in, not giving you time to block.
Time to time I saw the AI being able to chain two consecutive 5 hits combo, not giving you time to do anything between the combos.
I know I grow older each year, but I can't become that bad, especially when I play 2-3 hours per day for the past 9 years.
Kabam are clearly doing something but this also update I've been getting defenders throwing specials into my block a lot, Doom was just an example, in BGs most defenders are throwing the special when I'm trying to get them to hold it for my big sp2 woth fury but not happening
I'm not saying Kabam have messed up or done something wrong, they've made the AI throw more specials which is what they said they did just feels like it might be over tuned and they're throwing them without having to bait them at all
Other things my alliance have noticed is intercepting defenders has become much more difficult. (the SoS onslaught fight has multiple post on this point) We've just found it to be much riskier to try intercepts in general because the AI seems to prefer walking toward you forever until you dash in, where they light intercept you. This is again, something we could get used to.
The last thing that is actually problematic is the AI recovery time from anything is basically instant now. I've come out of my own sp3 animation getting hit in the face multiple times. Punishing heavy attacks and special attacks that used to be super reliable to punish just aren't safe to do anymore. Even occasionally get hit before I can block after I just finished my own combo. Almost like they were blocking the entire thing. I'm not sure how you could even prove this with video aside from the sp3 example. It would.most likely just look like you actually made the mistakes the game seems to think you're making.
Nowadays Ai is playing good than me 😤
You can't intercept constantly at all anymore and it's such a simple fix it's frustrating.
For the BG tournament they hosted they literally just added an aggressive node, it was so so simple and the AI threw specials, dashed in normally did everything they used to do and actually allowed the competitors to play properly, how hard is it for Kabam to just add that node into war and BG?
