    AI Bots are too hard

    I don't know how many players are playing almost solely PvE, I prefer this kind of gameplay and I like it that For Honor has the option to play against AI. That said, I do think the bots in the game are too hard, especially in Elimination. That game mode is almost impossible to win against bots because they are running around too fast, they hack 'n slash continuously and they simply overwhelm players. I've played quite some matches now against bots and I don't get enough fun out of it. Sometimes they can be overpowered relatively easily (they are not very good at Dominion) but when it comes to one-on-one modes like Elimination, Duel or Brawl I feel that they are too hard. I try my best but they seem to automatically block every single heavy attack, so that goes out of the equation immediately. Besides that they tend to hack 'n slash so fast that there's no time to react, and they are sometimes in "berserk" mode which (for me at least) is impossible to counter in any way. Elimination mode is especially impossible, it's like the bots are cheating in some way, it's that bad. I don't like it and I do think bots should be scaled back a bit, maybe even at the cost of getting a bit less XP and Steel for those matches.

    The bots are not too hard.

    But the bit progression is too strong. The tutorial does not prepare you to face off bot1 and bot1 is not at all doing a good job at preparing you for bot2 (its a,different ballgame).

    The progression and tutorials are crap - not the bots.

    I agree that bot2 blocks way too consistently. I swear I've noticed almost frame perfect blocks and parries from bot level 2.

    How do you even select bot 2 and 3, I'm only able to select bot 0 and 1.

    Yes, because this had any contribution to the OP conversation. You talk to fellow community members like that makes you an embarrassment to this game, community and genre.


    OP, I often have a hard time with the bots as well. I often find it easier to fight players as they are cheap and predictable where as the bots are dynamic and tend to use all abilities and moves in their set.

    I prefer the bots being hard.

    But what really grinds my gears is that some of them are maxed out with more gear and better style than me

    Then there's the taunting... It's like.. they know

    The bots are not too hard. But it is so infuriating that they cheat and do things you as a player can never do. That pisses me off.

    Bots are extremely stupid and lack any kind of competent AI, this is camouflaged by making them cheat and giving them godlike block reflexes, they need to be reworked from scratch to make them reflect actual PvP experience.
