this is somewhat true, but not completely, the paladin hero ability is one of the best (I'd say) for the bot to use. It recognizes it as a 1/1 creature and uses it accordingly. Other classes, such as rogue gets a 1/2 dagger that is used VERY poorly. I've seen my bot on a number of occasion go for face even though there is a 2/1 young priestess out. So with the pally I achieved a higher rating, ALSO the paladin's guardian of kings is an extremely valuable card for a bot. It requires no logic and instantly gives you 6 hp back. Those cards along with stormwind champion and raid leader compounds the effectiveness of it's hero ability. So keep that in mind when I show you my rogue's stats (this was done over a period of ~30 hours, pausing and stopping the bot causes time stamp to refresh): I made this bot about 4 days ago, and I pretty much just copied my paladin. I don't think it's optimized very well because the raid leader is a very low efficiency card, and without the pally's hero ability, it doesn't help it much. That being said, I am very satisfied with the 42% wins after 188 games. Therefore I didn't bother trying to fix it, it will get close to 80 wins a day, which is more than sufficient for me at the moment. I can't wait till she gets golden so I can move on, I think I will do hunter next. They have basically the best hero ability (for botting) and the most efficient creature in the game, savannah highmane. I also have a king Krush that I want to test out LOL. I know that people are achieving 40-50% with a 'basic' deck. But I've never seen their stats for much longer than 1-2 hours, and things change tremendously after 24 hours of play.
yeah I haven't tried 'rush' yet either, just wanted to ask for future reference, still grinding out my rogue (I hate botting this class so much).
I see you use quite a few weapons/spells, do you notice if the bot uses them effectively? I get that your stat is near 50% so i'm thinking yes, but from my experience, weapons/spells are used very inefficiently. Do you think if you replaced them with equal cost more efficient creatures that the deck would do better?
Well, I think for a Murloc/Rush deck, the minions will deal the majority of damage to enemy heroes. For Warrior, the bot always uses Arcanite to attack Sen'jin, a prefect deal. The spell/weapon are good to deal with taunt minions, which will trade you with two minions or more. When I was working on rouge, I did not use any weapon/spell. The deck I posted is specially for warrior.
I'll try doing it with a clean boot of HSB, but yeah I do tend to start and stop a lot. Last night was the first time bot ran for longer than 4 hours without crashing. p.s. I wish I had legendaries, I only have one crappy one.
you can replace the legendaries with boulderfist ogres, I was getting at least 40% WR using them instead of legendaries (on a different account). The ogres are very good value, 6 for a 6/7 will most often get 2 for 1, unless he has hard removal of course (but that goes for everything including legendaries).
