Not a real game with bots

[Poochiemon]

Having one extra real player on the enemy team makes the game literally unplayable

Agreed. Literally just had 2-matches with a 3-player Comp. Pretty sure the Buu was a bot at the very least

But basically it was a 3v1, the rest on my team were bots. So you can assume how that went.

its beta and bots are normal in moba games in early games to teach people how to play slowly

I am ranked A1, 14th in the world. There are only bots, it's horrible.

No, bots in normal matches are not normal. It's generally a sign of a rapidly declining playerbase used as a means to make sure whales still have a way to play. It's worse when you consider that they appear in RANKED too. Check out Pokemon Unite, or any one of the countless mobile MoBA titles. These games, the only players you will face are on the top ranks, while lower ranks will be filled with bots beyond the honeymoon period, which makes the ranked system moot.

Granted, this IS a beta, but the fact that this system is already in place already suggests the ill fate on the game's incoming future. It'd have a bussing boom in players, then come 2 seasons people are being chased away by the predatory practices, or other players that only insists on playing their favorite characters in unintended roles and hard feed the enemy team (Pokemon Unite with Charizard, it was extremely common to see an unevolved Charmander at endgame)

Honestly, the thing I'm worried about is whether or not Bandai pulls the plug on this game. They did the same thing to Gundam Evolution within a year. Pokemon Unite at least has Pokemon amounts of money behind the game. Meanwhile Bandai has a track record of pulling out too quickly. I've been wanting more MoBA with controller support on PC, but something tells me Bandai's gonna pull.

It's worst really. Solo queue is impossible if bots are still there at launch date & if it's still a thing, I'm already quitting Day 1.

I get bots exist to make matchmaking quick but its not enjoyable playing with them at all. You should be able to see who is a bot, have an option to wait for actual people instead, or at least not negatively impact your role rank if you lose. They are super indecisive and seem to count as actual people for the surrender count so you cant even leave the match when you know youve lost cause they do not seem to surrender

bots bots bots ghey

If they advertised the play test better and didn't limit the playtest regions so much this might not have been such a problem. I have a few friends who are huge DBZ fans and they had no idea this existed. They're also not in any of the allowed regions so they can't get accepted to the test.

Like what's the point? Latency testing is just as important as game feel feedback.

Matchmaking is horrible, several games me vs 3
