    Seriously, can we tone down the AI?

    The AI bots in this game can be pretty fun to fight against, they can also be rage-inducingly unfair.
    I play vs. AI a lot, as I don't exactly have the greatest internet, and this game is known to be plagued by connection issues. Unfortunately, the game stops giving a fun difficulty curve with higher level players, as the bots just become too insane.

    Perfect on-frame blocks, dodges at perfect times, combos that come from nowhere and lock the player down, and so many other insanely unfair things pop up at higher level bots. Bot level 1s are okay.
    Bot level 2s are half and half, with some being reasonable and fair, and others being hellishly cheap.
    Bot level 3s are terrible. There like those people you see in ranked tournaments that exploit a single move that's impossible to deal with for most classes.

    I'm not asking for an overall decrease in difficulty for the bots, but can we get a preference option for those of us who have to play against AI due to net issues? Let us tone it down to where we're challenged, but comfortable.
    That way I can safely practice with the new characters in duel against level 1 bots, instead of getting paired with nothing but cheap AI assassins.

    Actually, to add to this, AI team mates.
    They constantly, CONSTANTLY take kills and hit the player trying to get through them.
    I know that the "I got this" command can get them away, but they stalk around the fight waiting for you to release your lock, and you usually have to spam the command to get them to stop swinging. So, can we either fix the responsiveness to commands, or just get the AI teammates to back off when you're around?
    Also, can we rearrange the quick chat? I'm tired of hitting both bumpers to tell the AI to leave. Let us map the quick chat how we want it.

    Hey guys, bot level is based on player skill level (K/d ratio), and the requirement for level 3s has been lowered a bit. I'll let the team know that some players are not into the change.

    Whoever green lit this change should not be in charge. It's making the game horrendously unfair for those of us trying to learn new characters. The AI is already unfair enough as it is. I don't need completely unbalanced and cheap bots in my AI games.
    I am, however, appreciative that you guys are listening. Please, dear gawd, please get this change undone.

    Okay, maybe the "should not be in charge" thing is a bit hyperbolic, but seriously, the AI's difficulty level is making the game not fun to play anymore. Tone it down. Let us pick our preferences. Don't base if off a stat that can be manipulated by practice duels against level 1 bots.

    I love the changes to AI, but as I suggested in my own recent topic, they should just add a choice for the players themselves, especially in duel mode. After the patch I’ve at least been going up against level 2 bots in duel, but I would really prefer level 3. I think it’s kind of silly that I would need to play PvP AND do exceptionally well at it to get better bots in duel. I’m actually worried about trying to do PvP to increase bot level now, because if I get stomped, the game might decide that I should only play against those boring level 1 bots again.

    For the choice in teamgames it could be: casual mode (level 1 and/or 2 bots) and hardcore mode (level 2 and 3 bots)

    I realize splitting part of the community with modes like that is generally not a good idea, but if we don’t, then one group might very quickly just leave the game altogether.

    There most be more then 3 type bots i have play this game since the beta and i reamber there dye type, This is from the defence site dom where the player normal are then the lvl 1 bot is orange/Black they just fight like a noob, lvl 2 bot is red/Black fight like a casual player, lvl 3 bot is red/White use side step attack, charge attack, gaurdbreak and revenge. And then there is Psychotic bots there are complete red or orange and use the most durty tricks in the book against you, they will deflekt every attack they can and drain your heath like a vampire. I like a challenge bot this need to tune Down to where it was before. Or make and extra matchmaking bottom to player who likes to fight Psychotic bots
