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

[Contender]

So I dropped my hero down in which seemed like a easy TH win


He then decides to forget about the clan castle and walk to the top army camp


Destroys the army camp then busts through a wall then WALKS RIGHT PAST the archer tower for the mortar


Thanks to this, I lost my raid.

^Count the number of spaces between the town hall and the army camp since the clan castle was destroyed. I count 11ish to the camp and 15ish to the town hall.

My previous complain http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...61#post2630561

On top of that now dragon went full ♥♥♥♥♥♥. TH dead in front of it and he move to the LEFT instead of just firing so he could BE IN RANGE of enemy AIR defense .........

The 2nd one move to FIRE at BK who runs in circle and again step in range of AIR DEFENSE and got killed ........ I lost whole day points because the AI is broken.

Supercell is testing customer patient here...

The argument that troops retarget on the way to the bullseyed target doesn't hold up and here's why:

Logic would state that the bullseye is determined by the troops AI when that troop is dropped. That said, there is no reason for it to retarget another building on the way because its AI chose the bullseyed target in the first place.

The only exception I can think of is CC troops or heroes that move closer to the troop on the way to the initial target, then it would make sense for it to retarget those troops.

It would NOT make any sense for a troop to retarget to another static building that was in the same place as when it chose the bullseye.

I have also noticed that since the update my Barb King will often be walking down a line of buildings destroying them on the outside of a base (desired) and as soon as I trigger iron fist, he turns into the walls and starts trying to break through instead of continuing to the next outside building which is closer and unobstructed. My unproven theory is that it's related to the new troop AI that makes troops all focus on breaking through the same section of wall. I suspect if a barb hits the wall that the BK acts like any other dumb barb and tries to help, ignoring all other AI that would have him continue to the next closest building (this would have to be a bug).

The other bad behavior I've seen is with the Queen (henceforth referred to as "Wallbreaker Queen") where again since the last update she absolutely walks past 2-3 much closer buildings to target a completely random building farther away, often resulting in her taking fire from numerous defenses that she should have avoided had she stuck with the next closest targets.

The bullseye targeting bug just happened again. Here's the bullseye popping up on TH when I dropped the AQ:



I activated the AQ ability when she was next to the TH, and a new bullseye popped up again on the TH. But the AQ shoots the cannon behind the TH instead. The bullseye on the TH hasn't even fully faded away, when she fires at the cannon.

Awesome AI.

you our made my day. almost freaking out today thanks to stupid AI of troops...

Thanks to this bull♥♥♥♥ I lost several fights already, frustration doubled thanks to non-existing opponents at 4k trophies...

100% agreed

[rdtx2012]

It's not hard to notice when it happens so many times, it's not even a surprise for me to see Queen going for a building behind a defensive building or straight up going for the wall. It happens very often.

agree..

of the 10 times i have observed this.. 10 times the AQ will shoot a further away gold/Elixir storage instead of a defensive building right in front of it​

Town hall -> Dark elixir tank -> Elixir tank

NICE HERO! VERY SMART!

Since the last update it is noticeable how poor the AQ behaves with regard to targeting priority. I have noticed issues with her and the jump spell as well. There has always been some issues but it seems more pronounced since the last update.

@:17 in this video a bunch of barbarians clearly target the elixir collector and a few even target the Tesla behind it, just look at the bullseye/crosshairs. Then en route to it they change targets and go after an army camp. smh A few do make it to the elixir but nearly all go to the army camp and none go to the Tesla.

Troops en route to a target will reassess their intended target if they are not currently actively engaging one.

Care to show your source for that?
As far as I remember, the bullseye that first pops up when you drop any troop shows the intended target.

Sorry, that has nothing to do with the bullseye mark that appears when a troop is first dropped. The bullseye has always shown the intended target of a new troop dropped.

Your example describes when troops select a next target without the bullseye (e.g. a troop is dropped, destroys the bullseyed target, and then runs toward the next target without a bullseye popping up to show the next target.)

Coathanger doesn't read. He just likes to argue vs. the obvious: typical trolling.
