I know. But at least its an attempt at variation, even though I personally find it boring and dont bother to play it :P Some cards, like Bradley historically, just dont scale well so challenge usually becomes repetitive once people figure out which ones are unbalanced.Originally Posted by ScottOld Go to original post

Hah, never had that happen, but I havent played that many bots either and not since the event. A bug? Or perhaps its a RL quick fix to render the bots useless for now?Originally Posted by OTWBigPhil Go to original postDid anyone have the issue where the Free Locker new kid didn't take any damage?

I agree with you, that you need to be compensated for your löss of tickets...Originally Posted by Void_Away- Go to original post
But I am really against invalidating the results. They made a choice to neglect their security issues and mainly focus on releasing new (buggy) cards to maximalize the possibility to make money from whales. So why should I get punished with a loss of my time, cause they didnt care to fix it in time?

Yea I'd be ok with ticket compensaition for the bot found in challenges. It's true that you'd get many angry people if you invalidate results of matches that sometimes are very frequent.Originally Posted by Ascendent1985 Go to original post
I think the bot is making it easier on PvP for some people, but it's also giving RL some good insight. The way I see it it, 5 phones can be too much for some people, especially if you're close to your maximum achievable Skill Point rating. In the old days it was three wins, of course you could not get any win sometimes and you can get a bar even if you lose (sometimes), but I think the 5 phones doesn't scale well when you're close to your S.P. limit. I'd lower it to 4 phones instead (if you are close to your max S.P. referenced from your last seasons' best), and also add another game mode if the PvP play time was reduced abruptly recently due the bot invasion.

I do not understand WHY is an "issue" the bot. I mean, the devs did not do anything about derankers, they promise to TAKE ACTIONS in this update on February and NOTHING!! Nerfed some SH and buff some useless cards... They need to finish the problem with derankers and balance the characters and themes. We have a change to finish events now with the bot otherwise we were strugle with derankers with no balls to play in their league 🤷🏽*♂️🤷🏽*♂️🤷🏽*♂️🤷🏽*♂️

The way I understand it, there are a limited number of players who receive rewards when the weekly challenge ends. Sort of like the season reset packs, but instead of tiering by SR, it's number of players. So maybe the top 5 scores in challenge might get the best prize, then second-best to the top 25, then top 100, etc. (I don't know what the actual number of players are that are counted in each tier, my numbers are just examples.)Originally Posted by KiraYamatoYPZ82 Go to original post
Typically, the best challenge players get the best rewards. However, if you get bots on all 12 challenge matches, you're going to get a very high score, even if you don't deserve it, because you might have crashed out just 3 or 4 packs in if you faced real opponents.
Because your challenge score is not just how many wins you get, as it also gives you points based on how quickly you beat your opponents during challenge matches, bots will inflate your score. The more bots you face, the better your score, because you win those in about 15-20 seconds. I forget what other factors go into your challenge score, but match length is definitely part of it.
So this pretty much is the reason these bots are an issue for many players. Yes, it's nice to get free wins, and finish events a bit faster, but it also sucks to see a bunch of no-talent challenge players take the top prizes, when you've worked so hard to legitimately win those prizes, and don't get them.
