Hammer is in roughly 2/3 of vs AI matches, and is a massive detriment to the game. The AI literally does NOTHING to stop her from going to the backline and destroying keeps and forts unopposed. It would be the easiest gank in the universe, but instead they’ll give up 3 keeps while the other 4 players actually play the game. It cuts match durations by 4+ levels, so you’re usually not even getting your 13 talents, much less 16 or 20. Team fights actually become tricky, since the AI can evidently figure out to send their heroes to objective, but not to stomp a hero who redefines “overextended” every single match.
It’s awful for the mode, and frankly, is embarrassing for the game that the bots can’t figure out something as basic as “kill hero who is offering you their suicide with their positioning”. If they can’t do something THIS basic with their AI, they should just ban hammer from AI mode the same way they do others with brawl.
they’re working on fixing the AI to make it better. we just don’t know when they’ll be done however all we know is they’re working on it.
Just checking, because it’s foolish to assume things around here: Are you saying the Hammer is a human controlled player, and the enemy AI is ignoring them? So you win every game in no time at all? That would explain the level 999 Hammer that I heard about. It should hopefully be fixed in the AI update that Catherina already linked.
Who cares… its vs AI games. Only worth for trying abilities out.
She is as bad as Deathwing. Deathwing has fresh breath attack that the AI loves to bathe in and headless chicken aura which causes them to run around doing nothing until dead.
Improving the ai will enhance match quality because
this happens with literally any pushing hero.
The AI is bad. Hopefully, they’ll make it better soon. Not so much to make vs AI better, but at least to make it less of a detriment when a player disconnects mid game.
yeah idc about vs AI at all i mostly use it to finish the event faster since QM or other game modes last for longer. most importantly is for people that DC or leave on purpose if the AI stops feeding and start responding to pings etc after this fix then i won’t feel worried if someone DC i know they can make the AI good cause atm Genji AI is a beast same for Diablo i just wish all of them were as good.
And people wonder why she was removed from Aram 6 months ago by developers.
Newsflash, if you can’t dive her in Aram and get a pool of heroes with no long range mage abilities to punish her, she will do the exact same thing (push to your core unopposed).
Except there are a ton of heroes worse than her which are allowed in ARAM at the moment. Chromie and Azmodan for example.
