AI is too much

[Quily]

I've been playing a while now and i buy the season pass a lot, but im nearly done with this game, going up against the AI is going on impossible, they counter your moves telepathically i understand that AI needs to fill in if there is not enough players but come on, they block every move at platinum rank its nearly impossible, I've noticed in some games they almost counter before you make your move, has anyone else noticed this?, rant over sorry.

I find the AI to be absolutely terrible at everything except shock rocking moving units.

Losing against AI is impossible for me.

Why should you rank up If you lose often?

The league system is inflated enough, plat is very high in same games and in Minion Masters Plat Players have problems against ai.

The ai is terrible bro, I don't know what you are talking about?

[BadAsAFish80]

Honestly the general consensus, including mine is that the AI in this game is pretty terrible. If you are losing to it and losing often then there is something wrong with the way you are playing the game but don't worry that can be improved!

If you want to send me some of your replays I am happy to check them out and give you the advice and feedback you need to start crushing these bots!

Yes, AI counters every move, but players not only counter every move, they also make combo moves of their own, that's why AI is worse than decent player.

You need to adjust your deck to remove easily countered cards, for example Blue Golem is a very bad card as it is countered by swarms, ghost, Bahra, flyers...

Probably gonna get flak by rabid fanboys by saying this, but yes.
Breezing through AI fights would cause a player to reach whatever goal they have in mind too quickly, so it throws a hard counterplay deck at you.
It's designed to keep you hooked.

The ai uses a handfull of bad preset decks thats all. And since you can reach high Diamond league with a very bad winrate If you grind enough, I cant agree on the rest, rank progress isnt to hard.

This is just completely false.

The ai is not made to make you lose, in fact, the ai is for the most part made to lose itself, especially in lower ranks.
The ai does not create counter decks, the ai plays by the same rules as players, and the ai is intentionally bad. If you lose to ai, you have a lot left to learn, as any player above your rank will be beating the ai every single time.

yes OK, maybe i do have a lot to learn but if i had a choice to turn off AI and wait i would, I'm not going to argue against a dev, i like the game and i have an account on Xbox also, i buy the pass as its well worth supporting the game but will say i have noticed i hit a wall at platinum 1 on both systems so you cant blame me for thinking like i did, some people might also feel as i do, i'll try git gud, cheers everyone

The thing is, that are that point you are likely facing players, not bots.

The bots are horrible. They do not create squads, they do not really defend. They are pretty much just set to cast a card in a specific location at a specific mana point.

The mistakes I see the most by other players are:
1.) Sending cards out alone (this makes them easy to counter with much cheaper cards)
2.) Using the base as HP for the creatures (just allowing the enemy to attack your base makes it a race to see who can output damage faster)
3.) Ignoring incoming squads to capture a bridge. (Often with 5+ mana cards)
