Petition for Player Daken to work as awesome as AI Daken

@Welcome Death

…the AI never saves up to fire combo powers (like falcap yellow then red, for example), matches all of its own special tiles, cant recognize an L shaped match 5, and loses 99% of the time. Why people complain the 1% of the time the AI gets a lucky cascade and they actually lose…I will never know. Let’s be honest, if the AI always got ridiculous cascades that generate a ton of AP, you’d never win a match (except for the fact that it will never fire the same power twice in one turn, that might save you), and you’d quit the game, just like people have quit when faced with a not win scenario (im thinking galactus 1, ultron 2, boss rush). If it was really always this way, the game would have a much smaller playerbase.

I guess this is also where I always get confused. There’s something of an underpants gnome theory of game design required to think the game is deliberately making these combos, where the devs plan was:

1. Design an abysmally stupid AI for playing a match 3 game.
2. Wildly overcompensate for AI stupidity by designing elaborate cheating algorithm for AI.
3. ???
4. Profits!

The developers don’t need to write a cheating algorithm that would piss everyone off if they wanted to drain your health packs and make the game more difficult. They’d just need to have the game play in a less obviously stupid manner.

AI Ragnarok is one of the strongest characters in the game-but when I control him nothing happens.

Funny. Ragnarok has been part of my team for the SHIELD Simulator for several months. Charging greens and changing lots of tiles to a single color work great with Kamala Khan. The cheap cost of his powers also work great with her. IM40 is the third of the trio, because he’s helpful.

Keep in mind that our best Daken/Rags/Juggs/etc is a much, much MUCH lower level than the AI version in PVE. So that makes a big difference as well. Ours would be great if it was level 450!!
