I had an all AI game on Blackheart’s set at Veteran. I found 6 merc camps that were clear, but no one capped them.

What did Blizz have to eliminate some code to fit in new code?

Just as others have stated: Pathetic.

Had this game that my Fenix disconnected on Tomb of Spider Queen and an AI replaced him. Even with Fenix was ping by me, he was still hearthing back to base with full health, suddenly stop to acompain you to go to another lane just to kill a few minions, starts mercenaries alone and even kills himself walking in the enemy middle lane fort. I don’t know what happened to the AI, but it needs to be change fast!

I’ve never seen the ai so merc obsessed like this.

It’s like they think they have that Plastic Rebels quest from the Xmas event…

I barely play vs AI (only when trying a new hero). But as others have pointed out, when a player leaves the match in PVP, the AI that takes over is so bad is painful, is pretty much a lost game.
I’ve already seen some cases of AI taking over disconnected-players, and they all suck. Like this AI Guldan the other day, trying to push a keep, while we had an enemy immortal on our core (an immortal that we could have won, but lost because AI Guldan never showed up to the obj to begin with). Anyways, the AI Guldan was obsessed, so to speak, to destroy that keep… and of course it failed, got killed (ignoring damage) and we lost the match.
Terrible “new” AI, indeed.

I would like to add the Elite AI is just horrible at team fighting now. Used to be a challenge.

battlefield of eternity: They try to take all the camps even if the objective is in play. So my team gets free objective. Then as they try to take out merc camp near the middle gate to core, they got distracted trying to break the middle gate down into the base while all 4 towers were still up!

So my team just went over there and killed them all and took the camp from them. Just embarrassing how bad they are now.

The symptom exists in the Asian server, and if you only dig in the middle lane, the game will end in three minutes. I was strange because it was so easy to wait for a quick match before. It was not an ‘Elite AI’ I knew before. 좀 고쳐줘.

Blizzard AI gives me hope. If AI goes rogue and decides to wipe out humanity let’s pray darlings that they use Blizzard code.

I’ve seen the same, even before the current patch.

So basically we are stuck with this crap AI for god knows how long. Big fat middle finger from Bliz to everyone who plays vs AI.

Made my day :rofl::rofl::rofl:

On topic : I agree, even Elite AI is really dumb now, going for camps without caring about Players or Objectives, and on Volkskaya’s Foundry, leaving down the Healing Beacon or Turrets on the field…

AI definitely went stupid this patch. I was expecting more corner-turning-3±deathball-dives but I just ended up laughing that they were trying to cap objectives next to 3 other team mates while we just hit the quickest ability we have to blow them up. lol

Yes I agree. In the many games i have had AFKs in quickmatch, the AI is basically useless. I could not get Ragnaros or Ana to do anything. If I pinged to follow, they would just follow me around and not do anything (attack minions, attack opponents, clear camp with me). If I did not ping to follow they would run around the map mindlessly or hearth at 100% health/mana.

The ping was the worst part. Rag would teleport back with 50% HP with all the enemies dead even though I pinged him to follow me.

Does the game show you this? I have never experienced it, as far as I can tell, and a lot of my friends basically only play against ai. If you can’t see it, it would explain why sometimes ai games feel way too easy or (much rarer) too hard.
Also, I of course agree that the new ai is really bad and something has to be done. (As a sidenote, I would love to be able to play Cho’gall once in a while against ai, or have him show up as an ai. Starting my girlfriend’s pc and having her join me as Gall then let her disconnect is too much work most of the time.)

Thanks for the replies guys.

Situation is still the same despite the small ‘hotfix’ they released about the camping thing. It’s not just that. I hope they’re on it for the rest of the issues.

If they can’t figure it out then HOW ABOUT A ROLLBACK, Blizzard? Roll. It. Back. To. Prior. To. The. Patch.

THEN, and in the meantime, figure it out. But don’t leave us in the dust with this horrible build we have to deal with. Jeebus guys. Work ethic sure has changed a lot over there.
