    The ride was never actually easy. Most players are still not as good as the bots at level 2 (the old ones).

    Btw. since it was a server update, we humble console players get the new bots without the orders ir hero adjustments.

    Level 3 bots are much easier to beat consistently than players. The bots actually use most of their move sets instead of relying exclusively on safe attacks, which in addition to playing more aggressively, creates more opportunities for counters and trades. It's actually what makes them more fun to play against. Also, even though they do seem to auto block external attacks, the bots don't abuse glitches/exploits.

    I just had a Bot use the Portcullis lever at C on Citadel Gate to drop the Portcullis onto my head while I was collecting the Shield Boost in an Elimination match ... WTF...

    Have never had that happen before.

    Damn ... the gloves are off now ... no more Mr Nice Peacekeeper*




    *yeah right, like I was

    Damn I wish better bots like that you title say.

    They are too easy now and when the queue is too long I logout instead go practice like before. Ubi could release some level 5 bots.

    As much as it's not going to happen, I really wish that it were possible to choose what level of bot you get matched against when you queue up for matchmaking. I can kinda-sorta (not really) handle Level 2 bots, with the exception of Valk, Berserker, and Conq (who, by the way, is apparently the patron saint of counter-guard break heaven) who destroy me regardless of what I do. But when I get into a game with level 3 bots, I feel like I'm looking at the respawn screen more than playing. =/

    Not fun if I'm being completely honest. ._.

    I feel you.

    I can handle mist of the tier 2 bots. Except when the start to spam light attacks. Then, it gets hairy.

    My personal hate-bots are all shugoki and extreme light attack spamming ones. Difficult are the lb bots, who are masters at counter shoving.

    I've practiced hours on end against each lvl 3 bot character multiple times. I do get killed by lvl 2 bots here and there but not usually. Lvl 3 bots I win 3 out of 4 fights. They are more challenging but their play style is a lot more fun than the turtle meta that players have.

    I remember the time when I couldn't even touch a lvl 3 bot and lvl 2s it was 50/50. Hmm takes me back

    Just got through playing some AI and am seeing them feint a lot more, not to mention a Warden cancelling shoulder bash into GB. Whatever they did I guess it's working but it's definitely easier to play against most people now than bots.
