Is ranked still full of OP bots?

[Goat]

Me and my friend tried this out on Game Pass while it was still Pay 2 play, and we were highly disappointed when we realized- And subsequently learned that the games were full of bots, used to fill out matches so queue times were quicker. These bots ranged from unbeatable to potato-brained, and more or less completely ruined the experience for us. With the game going free to play, I would hope there's enough players for bots to have been dialed down, but is it so?

And that's fine and all, if that's the decision the developers have made. I would personally prefer getting stomped by real players, knowing I got bested by a real person who probably put a lot of hours into the game, than a bot that's just scripted to either auto lose, or auto win against newer players. Wins don't feel earned, losses don't feel justified. It ruins the entire experience for me.

Unfortunately most people aren't like you, and if they get stomped multiple games in a row as a new player because they didn't get the chance to learn the game by playing bots, they'll just quit the game, and a live service/free to play game needs people to stick around so they are tempted to spend money on stuff.

Duos ranked is way harder, than solos. In every match we had some players, though. Even from bottom Bronze.

To get used to bots, at least, you can try to play Bot mode Duos Hard. Even with f2p there will be bots, just less with Platinum + rank.

Strong disagree if you are Astral and above Solos is harder than duos or trios Duos is probably the most balanced mode

How it comes? In solo you are doing your stuff, your own mistakes.
In Duos you need to manage team. Maintain focus.
Unless someone carry you in Duos, it is not easier.

This game is stuck between a wall and a hard place, the population is too low to get decent queue times and more/all players in a lobby being around a somewhat similar MMR.

Meanwhile the average people quit because they get stomped by people that played this game for a long time and the usage of bots to fill up like half the lobby (differs if its peak time).

These game is fine in China. It just was not meant for Westerns. They have better game client, VIP server, more events and modes.
