The AI for Arena Battles is ridiculous!

If we (players) cannot use the benefit of an obviously more adept computer auto play then the enemies played by the computer should also be less adept. I just played Arena and got stomped again by a computer played team that exploited EVERY stat and ability perfectly timed and never resisted to vaporize my team that was (statistically) stronger. It never attacked Bossk, not once but targeted Greedo then down the line. I would like to say it isn’t fair but more importantly it isn’t consistent. Its the old apples and oranges game. Did you increase the AI difficulty because players were tired of getting knocked off their bracket when they were offline. Too bad!!! That is how it is supposed to work!!! Not some team camping in the top spot because the AI can murder everyone with better precision than a player. Stop letting players camp in the top tiers and let the game flow. Or just make the autoplay computer be as good as the arena computer driven teams.

  • It would be nice if when people were complaining they’d detail what team they were using and what team they were facing…
  • Let's first remember the OP believes BH should be beating everything.

    What team is thrashing them today?
  • Ah yes, I forgot he only uses Bounty Hunters for everything and that he expects them to also beat everything.

    The AI can make some good plays, but it's FAR from optimized at the level of a fully capable intelligent human controller. Believe me, if the AI could actually play at the level of a top notch player, we would lose A LOT of our attacks. And the game might barely even be playable, let alone enjoyable.

    BH facing what?
    Which BH you're running, gear and mods?


    Based off of OP’s previous posts, I’d assume they used Bossk, Boba, Greedo, Zam and Mando, all g10, with zetas on Bossk, Greedo and Boba.

    OP probably played against a team that directly counters BH, and decided the AI was rigged instead of realizing that BH can’t beat everything.

    …and why is he using auto in arena the first place? Granted, he doesn’t know anything about the opposing team’s kits so I guess it’s probably related.
  • The fact that he doesn't use Jango is telling. Jango lead adds speed, Bossk lead adds survivability. He is hoping he can outlast the enemy with Bossk but that ain't going to happen. Jango lead would give him an outside chance of winning but that would require him to farm him, gear him and read his kit. Thus far, no evidence exists suggesting he is willing to do so.
  • Thank you APX! I will try Jango lead. I wasn’t using auto in Arena. If you were led to think that KausDebonair. That is not the case. I’ve tried auto in other cases enough to know its pretty simple and dumb.

    Ah, I misunderstood.

    You’re still using a team that isn’t suited to counter the one your facing. “Statistically” is probably the least important thing in the game when it comes to squads. Synergy, composition, and abilities all come above that. Not to mention some squads are just hard counters to other squads. Example: a night sister team might be “statistically better” than an Imperial Troopers team, but the Troopers will destroy them because their kit is built in a way that does so.
