Your worst enemy in Raid Shadow Legends
At first, I decided to come to the forum and express my anger at what I was going through, but then I decided that it would only help me fell better and not help anyone at all. So I decided to try a slightly different approach.
The thread is about the most difficult and unpleasant opponent in the game that we face every day. No, this is not that nasty Spider you thought of, nor the Fire Knight, nor any of the other enemies you fight on a daily basis. I'm talking about the opponent who makes the game much harder than it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the toughest opponent in Raid Shadow Legends - Champion's AI. This f@cking element of the game that turns it from fun into a source of constant frustration. And I know very well that you perfectly understand what I am talking about.
The reason for this post is the mission before Arbiter, in which we have to beat Spider 20 on auto. Yes, the problem for many of us is not the Spider itself, the problem is the "auto" part, which is simply not the point of mission progress. I can beat the Spider for under 25 seconds manually and I can't beat it on auto because of the damn AI. it's just nonsense. No one can convince me that this is the idea of progressing missions - trying to outwit bad design decisions and stupid developer mistakes instead of content itself. At the moment, I am fully convinced that none of those who work on the game actually play the game itself. I have no other reasonable explanation for this situation.
But enough with the rant, as I said before, no one will benefit from another angry post, so lets approach it the more constructive way. How about we make a topic in which anyone who has observations of a champion and his bad AI can briefly describe the problem, where this happens and how AI should act instead. To make it tidy and organized, I will try to make some form to fill in, I do not know if it will work out well, but we can try. And who knows, maybe in some other life, this collected and ordered information may even reach someone who works on the game.
===================================================
Champion: (name, faction, rarity, role, affinity)
---------------------------
Description:
(skill or skills, content or something else that is involved in the problem)
---------------------------
Problem:
(what you find that didn't act properly or in correct order or anything else, related to bad or unoptimized AI)
---------------------------
Solution:
(how do you think the champion should act or what skill order he should follow or how the bad AL problem can be resolved in this case)
---------------------------
Additional:
(something useful or smart you want to add, related to what you wrote above :)
====================================================
I don't have much experience with this kinds of forum threads. Maybe (i hope so) at some point this thread will get bigger and content that people start to share on the subject will spread across several pages, which can make information difficult to access (in case anyone involved in the development process chooses to look at it). However, I don't think it's that difficult for someone to browse through a few pages and make notes from that form.
I only ask those who will write here to try and keep this topic tight, without the unnecessary things like huge screenshots that can be replaced with a few words for example or things which are too offtopic. We will discuss things freely, sure, but let try not to focus how bad certain abilities are or how bad the champion is, this is not the point of this thread, the idea is to expose those champions and those skills that AI doesn't play properly or optimally. Thank you in advance for taking this into consideration.
If you want to insert a description of a skill, you can use something like:
