A report said that Wayne, a 250 rated bot, was playing way above his rating.

For completeness sake, I asked about it and staff are aware and working on it.

They are also posting on Google Play Reviews ....
"Hey, I love the app and all features within it, but I think there's something wrong with the bots. The bots are way much stronger in the mobile app in comparison to the bots at your website."

Hello, we're working on this issue, since levels of the Komodo bot are a bit too strong following the last update. That will be resolved ASAP. happy.png

Yes, sorry about that.
Our Komodo dragon got tired of getting beaten over and over and decided to strike back. We managed to tame it again in 4.2.7 update.
It was released to Beta yesterday. Today we start pushing it to regular Google Play track.
So, if you cannot wait you can opt into beta to get the fix right now, but if you are ok waiting for few days update should be available via regular means probably on Monday. (depends if we find any other bugs and Google Play caches).

I'm actually starting to enjoy playing against these stronger bots.

@Naitbit you mention in your post the Komodo dragon bots on Android, is this true? Are the Play vs Computer and the Bots on Android built using the Komodo Dragon ??
