It’s awesome to see how far this machine-learned AI have gotten.
However it would appear that they are badly under-tuned compared to our current gear, which unfortunately undervalues the effort that have gone into these bots and makes them seem worse than they are.
So please, do buff them as well as optimizing them even further.
Oddly enough I think some BlizzBots would be better than players. I mean kicking, CC and so on. Also they likely have better damage and heal output too than some people
Their HP is about 120-160k, which does put them around ilvl 300-340, meanwhile most players that haven’t ditched their character when hitting 120 got an ilvl closer to 400 which puts them at 300k+ health.
Basically the players can easily overwhelm the bots, so people don’t really get to see how good they behave.
On original subject: I tried comp stomp yesterday first time, playing around 6-7 matches on the row and while opponents where not super hard or anything, it felt they were getting tiny bit better after every match. I also remember when they first came out people on forum were reporting them being more difficult towards end of the week. Is it possible that they learn?
I doubt they update them while we play, honestly not even sure if they kept training them since the last release. Hard to tell since they are so under tuned…
They do nevertheless show behaviour with rivals actual players, such as their ability to capture the flag under your nose, their focus on healers, and the paths they take to the objectives often times attacking from blind spots and the back and sending someone to cap farm/stable at the start of the match since it’s often abandoned.
Would have loved if they did the same with the other battlegrounds too though.
Also they seem to be better than players to notice if you try capture flag under their nose. I was trying in some matches and was interupted every single time.
