Yes, now they’re just filler kills, instead of a challenge. Their point cost doesn’t matter, as it will be nothing more than a cheap kill and a point increase. So now it seems I can just wait for human players to go after AI bait and kill them from behind. Skill is thrown out the window completely. What would be better are real human players with a good objective system, where they are forced to play the objective. Do that and I’ll be impressed. Bots, lol that not even this gen let alone next.

Well you have to excuse most of us, not all of us have spent extensive time with the game as you have. So we have no idea what kind of challenge they are, or how easy it is to use the AI as bait to flank enemies.

So you're going to camp in some bushes and try to sneak up on human enemies while they "go after AI bait". Sounds awesome. Of course, Respawn has said all along the game punishes campers, so good luck with that.


Who said I had to camp? AI bots will never be a challenge. This is supposed to be next gen, finding cheap ass ways to fix and unbalanced game doesn’t sound next gen to me at all. Have fun with it. I'll be sticking to true next gen shooters like destiny. 

Your mistake is in assuming the AI is supposed to be replacing human players. They aren't supposed to be as challenging as facing a real player. They are meant to help the flow of the matches, guiding combat around objectives and, as you said, be fodder for actual players. You are expecting them to be akin to playing Halo AI on Legendary or something, when they are actually more like the low health, mindless drones from games like League of Legends or Awesomenauts.

It's apparent you aren't really following the game, Respawn has spoken in depth about the role of the AI in the game.
