Walkers movements

Noiserating

Since a couple of months, walkers are able to do some very atypical movements that can mess up the whole strategy on a level. Especially for melee teams where the need for predicting walker is crucial. 

I think it's related to Ezekiel and walker want to grab him at any cost... 

For instance, you can see on this screenshot that the walker has chosen to move toward Ezekiel rather than attacking Princess or Yumiko.

It has also mess another level 2 weeks ago  when the walker decided to go see Ezekiel in diagonal rather than go to Rick.

Did it also happen to you?

Walkers always prioritise the leader, nothing has changed there. 
@FuriousMoldovan can explain better than me.

No @Stalker20, walkers prioritise the closest character and if 2 characters are at the same distance then I agree they prioritise by portrait order and will target the leader.

Here the walker should have targeted Princesse but instead he has moved toward Ezekiel.

This is not logical

If you're using rositas assault rifle, then expect the unexpected... It breaks the rules of engagement. So use it at your own cost. 

It's very good, but broken already so don't fuss when things don't work out.

Right, in your case walker wasn't supposed to move at all and should've attacked P.

It's always a good idea to make a video to see what happened. Hard to speculate over a screenshot.

This has always happened to some extent, but is definitely occuring more often now. So could be due to Zeke, due to Primed or due to RoAR. Hard to say but something fishy is going on.

I say let it go, or you may inadvertently find yourself asking for a Cripple nerf. Nothing to see here.

Last time it happened with Srick and Ezekiel, that's why I suspect Ezekiel. I love to play melee but if some bugs like that can occur it destroys the pleasure of establishing strategical moves

@Noiserating is why it's best to find some way to record and share... Cuz what one person sees isn't always what another sees. Fresh eyes can be be enlightening, even if they are your eyes on another day. 

Noiserating

True. But I rarely record my video, that's why I asked if someone have ever had this same issue (and has a video maybe).

I’ve had and shared several videos with NG, I find this sort of thing tends to happen more in GW than challenge and was happening long before zeke’s improvement and primed.
