    I had a good time today when Sentry used sacrifice then matched the strike tile 3 times in one match.

    I personally like when the AI has a straight line match 5, which they actually do those every time, but instead uses a tile swap or random tile destroying ability or team up like icon_juggernaut.png 's crash or icon_loki.png 's illusions. I'm so thankful every time!

    3rd turn Web Bandages when I've matched yellow tiles each turn for either 3* storm, cyclops, or luke.

    I'm not sure if this is stupid, or the AI trying to make me struggle for the next fight... But the number of times Ares immolates himself with his yellow, doing me excessive damage, but killing himself and ending the fight... There goes another health pack...

    To be fair there, at least there's the secondary of dealing damage on matching it. So I can see some sense with that one. Just not optimal in most cases.

    Just to be clear, we're listing situations that add to the games enjoyment, not ones we'd liked in any way to be fixed. My God, I can't imagine the backlash I'd get if this thread was the inspiration of an update that fixed all of these awesome, iconic, possibly future award winning features.

    That said, I would be curious to learn why the AI is so stupid. How much is on purpose (I'd assume, although I'm no programmer, that it wouldn't be too hard to teach it to count past four of a kind) and how much is effort vs reward or even programming skill based?

    New one just happened to me in Big Bang in DA heroic.

    Sentry does Sacrifice, Daken follows up with Chemical Reaction.

    I've used Recovery for damage before so I didn't care if I was at full health because I was trying to blow it up anyway.

    Ragnarok giving players some badly needed green AP with Lightning Rod should easily be the top 'stupid AI move' in the future. It is not always stupid but it's one he does with great reliability. You don't need any unusual circumstance either. Just let him collect some blue (preferably without Daken on the team) and watch him give you a lot of green APs!

    most have been mentioned, but here's another i like:

    Konran at max health using Black Arts to heal himself, killing a sidekick icon_e_smile.gif

    This, in one match there were two of them. One was taking damage so he kept killing his buddy, when i realised i just let him kill his team for me. All the while whittling down his health.

    Ares suicide to end the match.

    It was especially good in the PvE essential nodes when he would do it when GSBW had 11 pink queued up.

    In the current PvE.
    Sentry, such a heroic character.

    TU Colussus fastballs Sentry up into the air, manage to down the rest of the team but Juggernaut has done his usual and almost slaughtered my team.
    On landing Sentry decides to go with Sacrifice as his freebie, that's not enough, he does it again. gg tx4 the win


    Then a few minutes later on another node, Chuck (Prof X) is last man standing but invisible vs Juggernaut (again) who's trying every trick in the book. I survive his Crash, so he decides to go for the Headbutt and kills himself. Chuck laughs nefariously, can't headbutt me while i'm Invisible.
