Raid Han AI

Question was directed at Mr. Sausage.

My favorite was the GUI library i developed (shameless plug)

Thanks @t0neg0d, I know nothing about AI so that was a useful insight

Just because it's possible to program the AI to target specific characters, doesn't mean they actually did.
There are alot of players convinced there's an AI advantage for example. I have no doubt that it's possible to code an AI advantage, however the devs have always denied they did. I've no reason to believe they're lying about that. Still, players are 100% sure there is an AI advantage.
I also have no reason to believe raid han actually targets specific characters more often than others. I'm sure the devs are capable of coding it. As far as i know the devs haven't commented on this though. But even if they did, it's not like that would convince some players if they say it's totally random (no weighted odds).
I use rex lead and he's not getting targetted more often. Until recently he was the fastest character of the team. So based on people's suspicions, he should have been targetted more often. So yea...
Seeying as the AI is terrible, i highly doubt they coded it, so i'm chaulking this one up to confirmation bias.

Interesting? Sure. Useful? Impossible to know.

So far we've established that it is possible and (according to t0neg0d) even likely that the AI uses some kind of weighted system. However, we clearly don't have any proof of this and the devs (for obvious reasons) haven't laid out exactly how the AI works.

@leef I'd just like to make clear that I haven't claimed the AI has an advantage, we're talking about something different here. I also never brought up the speed hypothesis, I was asking more generally if it's 'random' or not.

possible? yes, likely? not really. The AI doesn't even use focus fire or targetting the lowest health+prot toon. So raid han having weighted odds for who he targets seems like stretch.
Also, I know you didn't claim the AI has an advantage, nor did i imply you did. I was just using it as an example.
I also didn't didn't imply YOU brought up the speed hypothesis, but others in this thread did.

I use FO exclusively in arena and my First Order Officer does not get hit by Raid Han 90% of the time. It is completely random on who he hits. They all get their fair share of getting stunned.

Do you work in an AI Development field though?

Not at all. The point of the post was more to say FOO does not have a greater weight to get stunned for a FO team as was suggested by some. At least not that I have noticed.

Interesting posts from many here, cheers.

Feeling particularly pedantic today, aren't we!
