Im rather new to this game, and as I have progressed, I notice that when I play the tournament, it seems I get hunted. Almost every match I get 1 bot, always stronger, that is hunting me. No matter where I go on the map, it follows and seems to only target me. I spend so much time trying to evade this 1 bot. Its not like I am strong and need to be taken out. My bots are still lowish. Anyone else have this experience?

Personally, I don't know... This may be a question for Redfiend or scape211 ... but I do know that the difficulty ramps up as you go. AND... that you are pretty likely to come across real players that target other real players in a tourney match. Possibly what you saw was an actual player? IDK... I have honestly not tried too hard to dig into the nuts and bolts of the game to that level, yet.
Welcome aboard, btw!

It’s not always a.i., I hunt particular opponents every match, but yeah, I have noticed being ganged up on out of nowhere all night last night in tourney and it wasn’t always people. Redfiend explains how this happens, how the ai develop what he calls a “hate boner” for you lmao

Win rates above 75% = expect the AI to hate you, and specifically you, whenever it has line of sight on you.
To date I've been killed several times by:
3 Thermal Lance bots on the other side of the map focus firing me.
2 Rank 4 Killshots that barrel straight to flanking positions and delete me the moment I spawn in.
Getting hit by Longarms while MID DASH in my Killshot.
Getting hit simultaneously by 2 Shadows and an MD chucking Javelins at me back to back.
Getting pelted in the Arse by a shadow, for a Killshot to spawn at the beacon it just capped to have said Killshot 1-2 punch me.
Having 3 members of the enemy team spawn Juggernaut at one of my home beacons a Killshot just sacked me to take.
The enemy team at match start consisting of 2 shadows, 2 Long Arm Paragons and a Long arm Guardian.
Killshot duo camping(but not capping) my home beacons.
Hate boners, hate boners indeed.
Just take the L's and it'll go back to normal after a few games.

They picked up on the part where I'll try to wait for them to be empty to peek again, and save their shells just for me. |

The LAs are definitely the worst. Especially because you never know when there is an AI that has LOS on you. If you're looking away and he sees you, he shoots and gets 2x damage multiplier for hitting you in the back. You have to keep yourself hidden from all angles and it's not at all easy. The worst I've run into lately is the Zephyr with the LA8/10 combo. Fast for quick repositioning and powerful enough to charge you and kill you up close. Also, they can freeze you facing the wrong direction. All the fails.

I've managed to pull off this shot a few times and it's very satisfying! Basically, there are some maps that are geared towards snipers, and right off open spawn, when people are making a mad dash to cover, there are times when I can shoot them from across the map. It's about 90% luck and about 10% aim, but damn it's gratifying! |
