Fighting against players' build

It’s not simple either. It’s not like putting computers to train chess.

If the learning was done collectively by the input of several players, to begin with, GD would have to start collecting info about the battles then reporting them back to Crate. There is a “report anonymous statistics” option on the options menu, but I believe it comes unchecked by default and only simple info like play time, class, etc is reported to Crate. So the information collected would need to be more detailed, like a full battle log. Then Crate’s computers would process the info, the AI would learn and only on next patch/hotfix we would see improvements.

But if the learning was done locally, then I could train the AI several times against a Ranged kitting build, only to change to a Retaliation build and simply destroy it.

Or you could just let various builds fight against each other-----it’s doable but definitely not cakewalk.

Actually, i’m really interested in this project----i’ll make a follow up post after some experiments.

this, the DPS vs health of players is ridiculously in favor of DPS, so whoever hits first wins
