It's terrible. You can tell that the mode either random in either you get the dumbest overpowered draws where the AI pulls out every rabbit out of the hat or the AI just sits there and loses on purpose.
Can't they make it have normal draws and normal game play instead of this *.
You can even tell if you are going to be playing a stupid game by how fast the AI plays.
I want to use this mode to test my decks but it is worthless the way it is set up
What are you talking about? I find the AI on the Random Mode very challenging .___.
Their decks are pretty insane, have TONS of synergy, and yeah, it "suspiciously" always draw the card that it needs WHEN it needs it xD
But jokes aside, I think I lose more frecuently against this thing than against real players.
Now, I've noticed 2 interesting things about the AI.
1.- If it takes some time to play, it is because it is thinking. The AI is analyzing the cards it has and selecting the one that gives the best result.
With this I mean that, for example, if it takes long to play something on turn 2, it is because it has many 2-cost cards on the hand.
Something like... Cabbage-Pult, Fire Peashooter and Black-Eyed Pea (if you are facing a Mega-Grow plant heroe, of course), while you have, let's say, a Cyborg Zombie on the Middle Lane.
The game makes a "simulation" with all the playable cards it has on hand, and finally chooses the one that gives the best result.
The only choice that doesn't result in a dead plant for you, is playing the Cabbage-Pult on heights. May seem obvious, but the game doesn't know until it tries it out.
aaaand 2.- If the AI plays nothing, it means 1 out of 2 things.
1.- It has no playable cards in hand (like, cards that cost more resources (brains/suns) that it has avaliable, or has cards that target something, but doesn't have anything to target (like Bubble Up or Vegetation Mutation)
or 2.- It knows that it is dead no matter what.
If the AI has 1 card and something like... 3 HP (no block) and you have 5 zombies/plants on the board with 5 or more attack, it knows that it cannot block everything, so it lets the turn pass very quickly.
I don't know, but I really enjoy playing against the AI.
Sometimes it does some "questionable" plays, but most of the time it plays pretty well.
