Wow Supercell... The new AQ AI ruined my attack

Good afternoon, it is my first post here, so I don't know if this is the propper subforum to talk about my complain


I was doing a war attack with golem and lava. I had planned to break a wall with 3WB. Unluckily, one of them died due to a mortar. After cleaning a side with golems and wiz, and once the first lay of defenses was down, heroes went around instead of breaking that weaken wall with 2/3 WB. That totally changed my attack plan and made me fail, doing 1 star when it was an "easy" 3 stars.


The point is... A failed attack just because one wallbreaker died? Isn't that too excessive? I think new queen AI defense has made the game worse


I'd like to know what other players think about it and also complain about it, to see if this can be changed


I'm gonna upload the replay video to youtube and will edit this post with the link once it's done


EDIT: here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnf8_zRB6dY

Your attack failed because you didn’t use enough wb. Or because your didn’t contingency plan in case wb failed.

Don’t blame hero AI just because you think they should act differently.

Don't know OzAudi... Yes, 3 WB weren't enough, but what I wanted to say is that heroes could have completed that task 3 weeks away. And, since the update came, I've seen more people complaining that heroes are going around and not through the center than people pleased with the new system. If SC removed new wallbreaker intelligence because it wasn't working as expected, maybe they can improve (or undo) this AQ AI. At least, I hope my complain is good for this purpose

Well the 1000 other fixes of the AI completely tramples the 20 "special cases".

You'll just need to find a new way to adapt to the AI. Every update usually brings something different to attacking, and you can't always rely on the AI 15 updates ago to attack.

Adapt and adjust.

Okay, yeah. That was brutal. I agree that they shouldn't have pathed around the base. You created a HUGE funnel. They should have kept pushing through IMHO. But now you know what they are likely to do, so bring more WB next time.

I agree with you. AQ is rather stupid as a hero now. Fixing things shouldn't break them as well.

Thanks Tico. I was also tired of Queen shooting at a wall where there was nothing, but I think we've passed from one extreme to the other

I'm not one to complain either, but this new Aq seems to be a step backward truth be told

I've seen a few strange reactions by the AQ lately, but, to be honest, that didn't look like one of them. The B King correctly pathed over the jump (to the mortar), but I 100% understand why the AQ didn't. Once the mortar fell, the closest target, for her (since she has a ranged attack), was clearly the trash outside the base, not in the core. The AD was way, way inside and far from her.

Pathing that sometimes makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, at least for me, has been wizard pathing. Not often, but...WOW...every once in a while, very bazaar pathing at times...

what is the new atk ai for the queen anyway?

The problem was before that, Lunatic. It's when the first mortar of the base is destroyed, not when the second. In that moment, it is when heroes start rounding the base. The jump spell on the corner was just the consequence of having to improvise the attack from that moment on - the original plan was breaking first lay of walls with WB and release jump over the xbow -
