Can we make the AI a little smarter?

It's very frustrating when your ranged DPS just randomly stops attacking the 2 HP champion in front of them and hitting a half HP champion when they could've easily won the match if they focused the lower person first.

I get you don't get control of your champions in this format, but does that mean the AI also has to be really, really stupid as part of the RNG as well? :(

That, besides the commonly complained about RNG of items or no items which I don't think needs another topic about are my biggest initial frustrations.

Agreed. Or when your character literally just stands there and doesn't attack?

I think the main concern is about champions randomly not attacking at all. However most of the "Rng" is down to how well you position your units.

I think each unit has different AI. I notice vayne focuses while lucian and trist attack everyone.

Still, annoying when your ranged champs just afk for no reason.

AoE units like MF and morg are even more rng than item drops lmao

I've had moments where every single marksman i had was attacking a unit with a Frozen Heart. I was doing bad until i got Anivia... who then decided it would be pertinent to target one person at a time with her ability. And then the tanks and guardian champs not doing their job in protecting the ranged ones? yeah, how stupid i was to think they would do the think in their title

More than a little! Half the skills are either wasted or rarely used before death. The whole mode is still very clunky in a lot of aspects. The RNG over skill nonsense needs to get dialed in before it realizes any of it's real potential IMO. Items need to drop 2-3x faster AND have a supplemental shop to CHOOSE items to help pursue build paths. Lots of ways this mode can improve and it's worrying that it isn't in place already...
