Ai trained Bots

To the Overwatch Development Team,

I’d like to propose an innovative approach to improving matchmaking and AI training in Overwatch. What if the Vs AI queue became a live training ground for a new AI system that learns directly from players waiting in queue? By observing and adapting to real player strategies, this AI could continuously improve, eventually providing a much more challenging and realistic experience. As the AI evolves, you could use its performance as a benchmark to more accurately assess a player’s true skill level, leading to significantly better matchmaking across the board. The key to making this work is community participation—players would be openly contributing to training the AI, with full transparency about the process. Given Overwatch’s lore already features advanced AI like Echo, this initiative could be seamlessly integrated both narratively and technically. You are effectively training “echo” in combat Leveraging the community in this way would not only enhance the game’s AI but also create a more engaging and fair matchmaking system for everyone. Plz give echo a teacher hat (whatever you think that may mean).You quite literally have an against Ai mode. It’s low hanging fruit

Would be a brilliant idea.

Powered by copilot or whatever Microsoft is calling their regurgitation system.

I see it as if they need to build the Overwatch equivalent of a chess bot. I’m not to privy on the actual bots joining real games what would be the point it’s like playing against someone that can never lose. In the beginning stages I could see almost a mimic of other players from recordings but eventually I could start a deciding what to mimic. As a side note Overwatch has some of the best replay capabilities from the Owl league toolkit in my opinion and should put it to use.

They need to do something for the training and learning aspect of the game.

The training range is stale and boring. Needs more bot variety and places to practice movement mechanics.

Vs AI, even a blind man can beat the hardest AI bots. So anything they can do to make them play a little bit like real players the better

You can feed the ai loads of games from different ranks for it to learn. Then you can choose what tank you’d like to try in a Vs AI mode. That would be far better than what it does now
