You always hear people that refuse to H/H because the AI is dumb. While that much is true—since all videogame AI can be exploited at some point—humans can sometimes be worse. Take the above image, for example. I was moving my necro to post-searing, and I got matched against this team. Four humans (Two Warriors, one Ranger, and one Elementalist, all but the Ranger were a higher level than I) against one human (Me, a Necromanceer), Three henchman (A Monk, Warrior and Elementalist) and a pet. I was suspecting I was going to lose quite tragically, but that was not the case. I either underestimated the game's AI, or I overestimated the enemy team. On second thought, I think it was the latter, since one of the warriors was spamming Orison on recharge, and the ranger was using Symbol of Wrath. Either way, my H/H team rolled the human team 7-0. I don't say this to brag, but rather to show that, while the AI may be dumb, they're at least given builds designed for best use from their respective profession, and given enough coding to run the build semi-decently—you won't see Stefan waiting for the enemies to come to him, but rather him charging towards the enemies.
