I would agree that the AI used in the arena is the same as the AI used by a player.. I've always felt the AI is the AI... BUT... and here's where there is a disconnect... PLAYERS are NOT typically using AI in the arena.... therefore the AI on the defense team is getting FAR MORE accuracy than MANUAL players actually experience. THIS IS THE BOOST which is always referred to. There's never been any insinuation, from me at least, that there's a "special AI" somewhere. No. Merely that the AI gets, as you put it, "Streaky" runs of success which players, manually playing your "game" will NEVER, ever, ever experience. Therefore the AI pretty much ALWAYS has an advantage over manual play.
Some have figured out that you actually win MORE if you tap the auto-play button as soon as match starts.. why? Because then it is the streaky AI against the streaky AI rather than non-streaky player vs the streaky AI.
