Last time I played EU DTV, bots only block down; so he is asking since when they block all directions (on NA).

NA bots are evolving  :shock:

What the hell did you feed them!?

As far as I understand, if "automatic" block is turned off, the bots will only block downwards, otherwise if it is on (allowing for a legit auto-block of sorts) then the bots are able to block in all directions.

I would guess that someone turned that on either by accident or not but unless some WSE magic has been done, I'd put money on that.

WSE2 fixes bots being unable to block when manual block is on. NA DTV runs on WSE2, EU DTV does not.

Bots used to not block overheads, is this fixed? You can kill like 20+ peasants at a time just by backpedaling while doing overheads.

If bots block adequately now, their ranged accuracy needs to be seriously reduced. Peasants headshotting people from across the map with xbows, Mylet one-shotting the entire team, etc.

NA is higher skilled than EU and thus the bots need that buff there.

NA server has something that the EU server doesn't?! What an outrage, please fix this horrible injustice immediately!

On a serious note, this seems like something that will unbalance DTV quite a bit, considering that currently an average team struggles to get past nomads and almost never beats sea raiders.

I repeat that I doubt it's intended for average teams to get above that, good teams barely ever even get past those guys with xbows, the only teams that ever get past Engineers are people who abuse how shit the bots and the dtv maps function, and fuck cheaters.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
