Dumb Hero Movements: Smarter Hero Update Failure (Pics inside)

The only thing that can change that is either destruction of the target, or perhaps attack by CC/hero.

This is not new. It's how the AI has always worked.

if u think it targeted the archer tower.......cause it was the closest

then why didnt it target that dark elixer collector or the black cannon by the purple wizard tower?

What made him target the Archer tower and not the buildings next to it as it was making its round

it makes no sense, based on ur logic, he should have at the very least gone after the Dark elixer collector (next to the archer tower he targeted)

(in case ur wondering he the BK was placed by the Windmill on the left of the map and made his way south and around)

I had the same problem. BK passed by 4 buildings to try and attack a tesla that was hidden behind walls.

My queen generally just attacks walls...

The queen is the new wallbreaker

I had the same issue, AQ shooting at an AD while ignoring closer defenses and storages, and my BK bypassing targets to attack a defense

Well bit offtopic but,,,, yesterday i saw my wizards ignoring wizardtower, walk past it and start destroying storages next to it while wiztower deals damage to them and destroying them... there is something wrong with ai generally..

Yeah, you're right. I've seen lots or strange targeting going on. The heroes just stand out more because they last longer, so you can watch more of their movements.

Hero defending are skill dumb as rock fyi.

OP: The queen's issue happens to every range troops, and the king happens to every close combat troops
>>> AI of this game is a mess. Most of the time you need lots of troops at the same time for them to help each others out.

This "improved" hero AI caused me to get only 2 stars in my CW attack today, my queen decided to shoot through two needless walls to get to a dark barracks instead of shooting at the one remaining defense that was shooting at her and was MUCH closer in proximity, FIX IT SUPERCELL

The new AI is incredibly spastic some of the stuff i see heros do is quite shocking how anyone can say that supersell put any sort of proper testing to figure it out, damn man these new "AI's" are so damn embarrising for the so called developer that im suprisied he is actually happy enough to realise it to the millions of people who play the game. If you still think supersell actually "fixed" the AI why dont you try answering why this so called awesome fix made troops act more stupid then ever
