[Devs, Please Read!] Please Increase AI difficulty

Dear Devs,

Thanks for making a great game! I have enjoyed it for many hours upon hours!

Can you please increase the difficulty of elite AI? Alternately, could you make higher AI difficulties?

I don’t enjoy playing PvP (I realize many people do but not everyone does!) but I do like playing vs. AI.

In the past, elite AI seemed somewhat challenging and we would occasionally lose to them. However, now they do a lot of dumb things and it’s become harder to lose. In general, I don’t find them challenging anymore.

If coding the AI to be smarter is hard, then can you make a mode where the AI has increased health, damage or both?

I and many other people who enjoy playing vs. the AI would greatly appreciate higher AI difficulties.

Even having an AI difficulty that feels almost impossible to beat would be fun to try out as a challenge!

Best regards,

Yup, the AI is pretty rubbish now. What’s really messed up is when someone leaves the game, we don’t even get a maximum difficulty AI to replace them.

I was playing on BHB the other day and we were about to win the game. We wiped 2 or 3 heroes on the other team at the coin turn-in and the other enemies weren’t anywhere near. Our Lunara had recently disconnected with 11 coins and the AI wouldn’t turn the coins in. She started to turn them in, then moved, started to channel, then moved, then hearthed back to base while standing on the turn-in with no enemies around. A turn-in was a guaranteed win. Of course, we ended up losing the game.

I see the AI struggle with the objectives all the time… it’s almost not worth going to them sometimes.

And the proof is…?

If you bring up brawl, LOL.

Sadly, the proof I had I did not screenshot when it was given to me—but at least as of about a year ago, it was Elite AI.

they can increase AI difficutly not only by making it “smart” also they can give AI cheats like global vision CD reduction and more mana and health regen, but if they do that, they also must increase the reward xp by doing vs AI and i dont think they like the idea because a lot of people will go to vs AI instead of qm or other mode of games

Why are you not enjoying pvp?
You could simply use the mute-all function and pretend that other players in your matches are bots/AI.

and finally there is a public answer.
