I hate AI so much I'm about to cry

AI aim is so good what's the point of playing Night Cap if they can't miss you? They can see you while invisible, which is EXTRA annoying! They know exactly where are enemies. They can detect just by standing behind him or shooting him! They can spot Drones on a very long range! I hate playing as Drone in server with AI! They just can't miss it  ☹️

  • My Snapdragon was lost by Foot Soldier AI by 2-5 or so in one game.

    This may be because I am a weak player, but I think AIs may be more weak.

    (I play only Turf Takeover, so I don't know about Team Vanquish. Team Vanquish player may say AIs should be more strong, and I can't talk about AIs in Team Vanquish.)

  • @aikohu The ai were rushed by the developers. They can do somethings that players can't do. They have aimbot and have a big unnatural advantage over players. GW2 was similar, like ai could move immediatly after getting revivied.
  • Essentially what they did is copy & pasted the AI from PvE, gave them the same strength as normal players, & put them into PvP. In Team Vanquish, the problem is worse because they don't bother reviving you, making the game about who has the better characters. If the plants have Snapdragon AI, they win. If the zombies have Captain Deadbeard AI, they lose.
  • Yeah AI basically ruins drone abilities. Good luck lasting long enough for the special attack unless you hold back and hide for the first few seconds...

    @34975634954957 agree - can't use drones when AI in the lobby, they instantly look up at you and poof!

    From my experience, I find 80s action hero and citron to be most obnoxious when they are using rocket ride and navel laser, respectively. You can't flank them because they will immediately target and melt you with their perfect aimbot. I never knew rocket ride can be so precise from a distance. Also special mention for corn's shuck shot - I've seen one starting up the shuck shot while I was on the flank, it does an instant 90 degree turn to face me, and proceed to wipe me out with both shots aimed perfectly. Sad! 

    They should script the AI to discount their aim more so there is a relatively higher % chance to miss shots (versus what it looks like now) against players that are moving/hopping/parkouring. Also script the AI to randomly and more often try different pathways to objectives in Turf takeover.

    Also, predictability - I said this in another thread but if you are engineer on turning point, you will easily rack up vanquishes on AI (yes even easier than before there was AI) because they will repeatedly walk into the engineer death box . For example chomper AI will repeatedly detect your hits and then burrow towards you. On the flip side, it's obnoxious to be on the plants team when half your team is AI and repeatedly walking into it when there are two other pathways!

    AI will swarm the final objective on Loggy Acres. It's a nightmare to walk in, but on the flip side, you can take a class like All-Star - go up the raised platforms and dunk imp punts over and over so long as you can control the high ground there. It's too predictable. 

    If you play deadbeard or cactus - countless free vanquishes from across the map against any AI, they won't "see" you from far away or take natural cover. After awhile, feels meaningless...

  • Sometimes I find ally AIs are staying in base of operation. What are they doing?

  • @aikohu It is too frustrating I have seen games in which bots kill players and even high levels (especially happens with 80s action hero ai) if you go directly to a bot with low health you will lose if or if Because of its aim, I have had many cases that the Citron laser aim is too pathetic, to a normal player the sensitivity is reduced when using the laser but the bots do not, I jump with a superbrain on top of the citron with the laser and I hit everything . It was really a mistake to add the bots in the games from my point of view apart that when killing a bot they do not give the deserved experience.
  • Also, sometimes the AI won't function properly if you board on it as a passenger (Acorn / Space Cadet).
