Why does JMK only go for Armorer?!?

The justification is that it makes JMK a better team on defense, and as a JMK owner, I am glad the AI is being smart

Key words “as a JMK owner” lol

"If (armorer in oposedteam) attack(armorer)" is very far from smart ai. It is actually called very stupid programming. As a jmk owner i am not glad. Also if the nerfs were a big lie from cg, switching from gl balance to gl hierarchy is another big lie from cg (all gl are equal). If there was some irony, sorry for not getting it, but this hole ahead is not funny anymore.

Is it a bad AI decision if it prevents some of the counters towards JMK?

Only that if and elses doesn't mean ai. And yes, it is worse than before. There is no justification to make it so newer gls are unbeatable by older gls, considering especially the promise that they will be equal in power, and i can bet nobody here translated this as simply equal in gp. I will correct myself, there is a justification, but good luck getting another cent from me.

That promise was broken the second CG released SEE ?

I think its not a good thing when you hard code that kind of programming into a few new toons but you have not done that for every toon that has come before.

If RNG is good enough for 99% of the abilities out there then it should be good enough for the other 1%.

It's CG monitoring player rosters and inventories, and then changing the rules like digital carnies to promote spending.

You can win the big teddy bear, you just can't do it for a single $2 play. All you have to do is toss the softball into the jug, win a little bear. Win ten bears, trade em for a bigger bear.

They don't tell you there are 13 sizes in between the little bear and the bigger bear until after you've won your slightly larger bear, and that big one you want to win mathematically will cost you $18,000 if you are perfect at tossing that ball into the jug.

Yes, it is..
First, as has been pointed out above, there’s nothing AI about what’s happening here..
Second, also as was pointed out above, GLs are supposed to be able to counter each other, but preventing SEE from relying on Armorer basically prevents the one reliable counter to JMK + CAT (aside from mirror)
This whole game is supposed to be based on rng.. there’s no rng here..
I hope, against hope, that CG see the error of their ways!

I think this issue is that you based your opinions on 2 statements that are debatable: 1) GLs are supposed to be able to counter each other, 2) this whole game is based on rng

GLs are around the same power range, at higher tier than non-gls. It doesn’t mean that they are equals; you can’t expect to have 1 GL and be able to beat every other GLs that may arrive on the holotables.
The bot behaviour isn’t always rng. It tries to mimic an opponent, but not necessarily a very good one because it’s not a chess-level bot nor AI. This way, a smart player can win mirrors consistently. Still, the fleet bot always brings out a reinforcement asap and Vader bot always attacks every other opponent after activating merciless massacre; no rng there.

I see your 2 points above, but that was actually not my reason for posting..
My reason was this:
Pre-nerf, JMK treated Armorer like any other character..
Now, however, CG changed the rules specifically to kill Armorer before she can Beskar SEE
And that is what I am protesting!

Also, JMK did not need any extra help on defense, especially when CAT is around!

Finally, I’m not saying that all GLs should be alike, I’m just saying that it’s unfair to change things to make it harder for one GL and easier for another!

PS: I assure you that Beskar works very well to protect SEE from JMK + CAT..

… yes?

I don’t like that this change happened, but “kill Armorer” is more Artificially Intelligent than “kill Random”.

Also, 3 Stacks of Beskar:

+50% Defense and +15% Max Health —> JMK gives Jedi Double Armor Penetration against Sith.

Recover 30% Protection at end of turn —> If CAT is present at the start of the battle, all Jedi ignore Sith enemies’ Protection once JMK ults.

100% Counter Chance and can’t be Critically hit —> If CAT is present at the start of the battle, Sith enemies can’t Counter once JMK ults.

Beskar is a glorified Health Up + Crit Immunity.

I guess CG thought SEE teams with purple geared armorer were beating the new shiny toy too easily.
