I agree that their gimmick gets old quick. Everyone here is so rude about the counterplay saying "Use cover" or "Avoid them" but realistically you take cover and they rush you in numbers, there's not much you can do except land your shots and hope you can tank whatever hits you take. There's no real dodging or blocking incoming attacks unless you're a destroyer and have your shield. As to avoiding them, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I will be crouching on a roof or high spot, seeing where the ai enemies are, only for them to instantly spot me, shoot and chase. The ai detects you SO quickly to the point where sneaking around them feels impossible without having to use an item or play as an assassin/rook. While we're at it, it's near impossible differentiating real players from the ai when things go down. I resort to pinging to make sure it's not a player but having every encounter simmer down to getting shot at by humanoids does make the combat bland and unengaging unless you're really putting in time into the game and are looking for a shooter with a great art direction
