How bad is AI?

I ran Hydra normal on full auto and got 7.5m.  I normally get 30-40m when I manual.  My manual is simple.  I red got heads that eat a champ and red dot hydra that lose their head.  I preset all champs to use their best skill as often as possible.  

AI never targeted the heads that ate champs.  They went for affinity match.

it's honestly infuriating at times. I've mentioned it before but Duchess (thankfully she is basically obsolete for me now) hitting Torment...

When Plarium finally builds a fast battle for Hydra we still will have to manual for a decent score.  

The time requirements for the game keep increasing.  Plarium should do what they can to help with faster battles.  It is in their best interest.  No one can be using their credit card while stuck in long Hydra battles.

My favorite is your big damage dealers prioritizing the head with Reflect Damage for funsies.

This has been brought up several times. It isn't even bad. It is like the AI does exactly what you do not want it to do at times.

It's almost like the AI is SET for her to target Torment :(

the hilarious irony given that she should be one of the best options to auto this specific content. Just Hydra AI things. :)

Has Plarium built AI to purposely be bad?  Why would they want to force us into long, time consuming battles?  

If I can figure out to use the red dot why cant AI be changed?  It seems like an easy fix.  

The time involved in the game has become a major issue for me.

Just remember the same terrible AI is the same thing we face against us everywhere else in the game.... just saying be careful what you wish for

I agree totally about the time required by the game as a whole and by Hydra specifically.  The dumb thing is that I enjoy figuring out ways to improve my Hydra performance, but spenging over 5 hrs every week on actually running the keys is exhausting.  My NM key took 2.5 hrs last week.

On Discord, there are a handful of seemingly knowledgeable players stating that Plarium does not intend to make changes to the AI specifically because they don't want Hydra to be run on Auto.  They want us slaving away on Manual.  That certainly jives with the fact that they have made no AI improvements in all this time.

We called a tank week for the first time in 6 weeks without even assessing our  opponents.  Nice hitting 1 key and tapping out.

Preweek tank week decisions are tough. Or can be. The quick keys are nice but we recently did one and then found out it was an easy first place by 10 billion+ had people not thrown out keys.

:(

If Plarium improves AI it will be improved for both sides of the battle?

Why would Plarium want us having to manual Hydra?  What do they gain from it?

FOMO = more time spent in game = more likely you buy something
