Who flipped the "F*** You" switch?

We have stated several times recently that there are tweaks being made to the PC Ai. There still haven’t been any changes made to the console AI.

We made small changes to the gem spawner algorithm to stop such consistent looping. Also, as I mentioned in another thread here it came to our attention that the combo breaker used on PC was being unfair in the favour of the player overwhelmingly.

You may not be aware of this, but a combo breaker does exist in game. On console the AI is much fairer, and has a much better chance of getting lucky than the PC AI. The AI (this is for PVP specifically) is meant to scale as the player goes up in rank, until it matches the players luck at rank 1. However, as we released the Unity version for PC, we realised that there was a bug in this code, causing the AI to only be allowed a small percentage of the player’s luck, unlike the console build. This has now been fixed, and Tier 1 PVP players should be seeing the AI (in very extreme cases where the RNG is exceedingly lucky) only getting 3 times the amount of lucky events that the player does in a single match. They cannot possibly get more since the fix.

Since changing this, PC players are now experiencing much more even RNG, with only a slight lean towards the player.
