Anyone else facing opponents that use their own Team-ups?

Fulgren

Example:

Fighting Ares, Rags, Yelena

Opponent will trigger a team-up. Suddenly it casts Thunderclap! I thought I was tripping at first, but the team-up icon definitely appeared.

Yes, there are reports of that happening all over the board, my thoughts are that it is a bug/oversite.

Was addressed somewhere in the mountains of posts on teamups. They admitted this was not as intended and was on the list of things to fix. You know, when they get around to the fixin'

GrimSkald

In particular this will happen in PVE - I've noticed that the computer will select the power-ups based on the Dark Avengers powers list - so it is very likely they will be doubled up like that.

Unknown

Yes, it's happened to me more than once. The nastiest was when the AI first cast World Rupture as a team-up, and then two turns later, just after it went off and did quite a bit of damage, the AI's Sentry cast his own World Rupture.

We're just a wonderful set of beta testers for team-ups. The number of things which should have been caught before this was rolled out is really laughable.
No delete button.
AI can double up on powers.
Both of these would've/should've been caught with the barest of testing by people who play the game.
They really need to make a panel of about twenty-five to fifty players who have been around a bit and put them on a test server to road test things like team-up so the entire community doesn't have to suffer.
Not gonna happen but one can dream.

Hit with 2x aggressive recon in same turn, AI match 3 purple, aggressive recon following turn. :HATE:

I posted about this somewhere...AI had Hulk in their team during a pvp match recently...AI used a Hulk Team Up on me. That makes sense.

Do these people even play their own game?

My guess is that they programmed the AI to never pick a team up from the same character but didn't make it so it looked at the whole team.

My business uses custom software. There are times when the developer gives us a new feature and we use it . . . but we don't use it the way he thought we would use it. Error messages ensue. Sometimes I'm the tester on the software and after I take it live someone else does something totally unexpected. Testing can find bugs. It can also miss them.

People make mistakes. People sometimes miss the obvious. It happens. No need to be a total **** about it.

My favorite so far was in PvP against Wolverine.

I took dual Adamantium Slashes to the face. One from Wolverine and one a TU. Over 6K damage. BOOM!

Fun stuff.

Try taking two Rage of the Panther(s) to the face on the same turn. 6000+ damage to the entire team in one turn....hooray

I have a Daken passive as team up. Unfortunately I cannot get rid of it because selecting it for a match does nothing and you cannot technically "use" it since it's passive. I'm keeping it as a rare memento.

When it comes to programming, I agree there are instances where the user ends up doing things the programmer never thought of or never intended the software for. But in this particular instance there is only one thing we do with this game, play it. We have no control or even influence on who or what the AI uses against us. Also considering this happens at least every other fight at a minimum; if testing missed it, then I can only assume no testing was done.

I've had that too. The only positive was the TU version was so anemic it only did about 100 damage before the tiles disappeared.

I'm glad I decided to check back in on the forums. I had this happen to me the other day and at first I thought I just wasn't paying attention... then it happened again....

The issue that they might not fix and most people don't mention is using your heroes team-ups against you. You're not allowed to used the enemy's team-ups against them, but they have no such restriction.

At some point they changed that and you can use the enemy's team-ups against them now. The only ones you can't use are for variations of the characters you're currently using.

Today in Hot Shot, the AI used a TU Flame Jet, and then used a regular Flame Jet, on either side of a green tile.

Worked out for me, except that if it hadn't done the regular FJ, it would have been able to use the TU FJ at no green cost and it would have been that much stronger...

Just got Call The Storm'd twice in a row. And yes, I checked and both the T-U Thor and the opponent where Modern Thors. Imagine, if you can, the rage that such happening stirs.

Unknown

Yup. TU Adamantium Slash with Wolverine on the Team.

Benched my team for the LR since I don't have Healthpacks left, so thats cool.

And a Torch Green after I killed off Torch, weeeeeee.
