Balancing the Bots

 We finally did it! Mechanized Corps: Rebirth came out yesterday! 

Part of the work I'm doing, other than basically creating characters from a list of NPC names, is making sure they all function as intended.

Below is the chart I've been building, fixing and erasing over and over every time the bots are improved or the data significantly shifts.

The numbers are colored to represent how well they're performing. The major KPI I use to watch them if their Damage and Damage per Death. KDR is easily manipulated by last shot mechanics. The average damage will level out over the different builds as each pilot will favor different chassis and size categories of Mechanized Corps. The pilots don't need to be even, but they should start falling into their tiers. So the T4 characters generally need to be doing better than they are while the T2 Bear is doing too well. 

Obviously I am performing at what my KDR would put at a T11 character right now and my D/D is double that of the next highest. Even other players I've been playing with are generally not breaking the 20k mark except a few. I managed to break 30k several times and 40k once. I've also been playing and building so much I would hope I've got it down to a science.

Not a ton of details here but just a peak into what I do and how I do it. 

Happy Hunting!
