Why do your guys suck so much in pit fights?

[LordBlade]

I mean seriously, it's like they turn off the AI for your orcs when they jump in the pit. Your guys stand around a lot, do some taunting, and generally get beat down a lot. Meanwhile the enemy orc is just spamming non-stop attacks at you.

I've lost way too many orcs who really should have had no chance of losing just because they refused to actually do anything.

Just lost an Olog who would basically stand around getting stabbed, then charge up for some giant sweep, only to get knocked out of it by a tiny poke from a grunt. And they'd just do that until they died.

I had to take a break afterwards cuz I just can't figure out how it happened other then the fact Shaka just stood there walking back and forth while the archer would run up slap him jump away run up slap him jump away, for 2:34 seconds until he managed to whittle the health down to get the killing move animation.

well if he just pimp slapped him to death that isnt an arrow.

*♥♥♥♥♥ slap*

haha it wasn't the slapping him to death I couldn't stand it was the fact Shaka literally did nothing but stand there, he wasn't dazed, wasn't terrified, hell the whole reason WHY I had Shaka in there to get 60 was because he always enraged at everything which made him a monster in the pit fights, this little twerp though...nah he's just gonna stand there and get made into the prison yard ♥♥♥♥♥.

that does sound glitchy tbh.

Not the first time I've had something like that happen either, almost as if the game just dumps it's AI if you try and abuse the pit fights repeatedly with the same fighter.

would make sense if over time your uruk becomes Exhausted and has a cooldown period before he goes back in the pit

I'm sending orc after orc in there, and they're all dropping like flies for no reason.

oh im not saying this as a current mechanic. it would just make sense instead of this phenomena of your orcs being able to ♥♥♥♥ on everyone when you call them in or you help them on a job, but get bent over in the pits. this to me is odd why dont the ai just work the same? theyre so aggressive on me out in the field why wont they be that way in the pit

[darkreavery]

what i do is i send an orc in the arena, when he gets killed, i go to the arena and get that orc.When he wins 3 times i make him an warchief when he can win 10 times i make him a overlord

It drives me nuts too. They have telegraphed attacks which are interrupted by strong attacks, their own obnoxious guards, and pets. The attacks of their guards and pets always take priority. Caragors etc will be pieces of ♥♥♥♥ and literally bowl their own owner over to get the first attack leaving the owner completely open to attack.

If guards stand in the way they will literally stand there like dumb ♥♥♥♥♥ and not attack for the whole match. I've counted every second and some of my legendary orcs I beheaded for infuriating me. They went the whole match without throwing a single swing, punch etc. Also, some orcs prioritize roaring like 2-year-olds even when being pummeled.

My only advice is to kill them. It doesn't matter how rare they are you can't tolerate weaklings in your army. If any Orc objects kill them too. You can't take ♥♥♥♥ from your orcs or they will walk all over you. Take it from the guy that was betrayed by 6 different orcs of my own at once whilst in a battle with 2 other enemy orcs.

You can't give them second chances. From that day on I take ♥♥♥♥ from no one and only trust my Warchiefs/revenants. I take great pride in stripping them down to level 1 before tearing their head off. Suffice to say I've embraced the dark side well. This game has brought fury out of me I never knew existed within me.

My favorite is when you lose a fight when you have 40+ levels on the opponent and a weapon they are mortally weak against .... That should NEVER happen but it has.... more than once.

This have happened most for me when I have a Olog fighter with a olog gang. The gang interrupt my fighter's attacks and block the path to the opponent.

Don't think it beats a fight I just had where it was archer vs marksman. My lvl 60 got the lvl 50 down to a broken state very early on into the round.

What did he do after this? He literally, no lie, did nothing and instead circling the enemy for 30 seconds while he took pot shots at him, until he eventually was in a broken state too and died. I couldn't believe it. He never ever attacked or tried to attack the enemy.

The AI definitely seems a lot dumber in pit fights. One of the worst times is when they don't target an enemy's reinforcements and instead ignore them, allowing themselves to be stunlocked into submission. Now this definitely doesn't happen in nomal battles <_<

A lot of these fights are pure stunlock and Olog's or whatever they are frequently win. Cept for when I lost my Bruz to a spearman...

Lost an unshamed level 40 legendary to a level 20 in the maggots pit while trying to level him up

That is the worst. "You just had to tap him. Once. That's it. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥."
