The fact that you managed to play it once and enough time to review it with a generic "it sucks" is impressive.
I can't find a single match and when I find one I get kicked probably because people are there just to boringly boost,which is 99% of the playerbase that go in Versus.
I only played it with bots for the achievements and that's it but I saw that it could be fun especially with a friend against actual humans.

I actually didn't play it once. I played it several times although it's been quite some time since I have.

I just don't like it. It's unbalanced and unfun. You and the enemy can see eachothers locations at all times, rendering it easy to find the enemy, and easy to avoid them. There's no element of surprise. You also can't move while you shoot, so it's literally just a standoff of you and the enemy standing there shooting eachother, and basically whoever has the more damaging gun wins. And in Survivors mode, basically once you lose all your guns, there's nothing you can do anymore and you inevitably lose the game. I also can't understand why Slayers allows you to fight the enemies, despite Slayers being for getting a higher score, not PvP.

RE6 Survivors mode has some flaws, sure. More specifically, the ability to be invincible while climbing, and "weapon swap" exploiting to shoot faster. However, disregarding those two things, RE6 Survivors mode is vastly better. You and the enemies don't see eachothers locations at all times, which can allow you to sneak up on them. You can move while shooting, as well as dodge, which makes gunfights much more interesting. And if you run out of ammo, you can try beating the enemy to death, which is much more efficient than RE5's knifing mechanics.

RE5's versus I simply cannot enjoy. RE6's Survivors, again while it has flaws, it IS more fun.

Not sure if you've ever played against people who hide, but it makes for the most boring matches possible, even more so than playing against noobs, I can't imagine the same but not knowing where they are and having to play hide and seek when there's a timer constantly going down lol
Not being able to move while shooting creates a situation where you must decide to commit to a shot or bait (just like vaulting in dead by daylight, the killer can assume you'll vault and you can't move or cancel it while doing it), the way re5's player damage works means there's even more prediction at play the more lag there is, if you watch anyone who's decent at the mode you'll notice the last thing they do is stand still shooting at each other unless they know they have the upper hand and will win the encounter.
Also, I've killed quite a few shotgun and magnum wielders with machine guns and handguns lol.
Lastly, you're not meant to lose all weapons upon dying, that's a bug introduced in this version and carried over to PS4, Xbox one and switch (only difference is you can't apply fan-made patches to fix it on consoles).
That being said. I 100% understand not liking it, but I do question how you said re6 is somehow more balanced XD the re6 community has a rulebook the size of Russia for a reason

Never said RE6 was more balanced. Read more thoroughly. I said it was more FUN.

Also, why you comment this instead of just messaging it to me bruh?

It's because when you were complaining about re5's, your reasons were it was both unbalanced and unfun, then by comparison you said RE6 only has 'some' flaws, and the few examples you included are balance-related, and also said it was "better" (which could very well mean more fun and more balanced, as those were your main issues with 5's).
And well, because a friend sent me this post without even knowing you're in my friends list and this way other people can read and reply as well xD

PvP modes in RE games suck in general. They're usually a poorly balanced mess that can be fun for some laughs, but impossible to take remotely seriously on a competitive level.

It didn't work well in RE5 and 6. Umbrella Corps was a total failure. And REsistance is just more unbalanced ♥♥♥♥. Capcom has serious problems getting PvP to work with RE, best attempt was probably Operation Raccoon City, which was actually developed by Slant Six.

as a new player (not have any experience playing survivors), you will say re5 vs survivors it's really unbalanced. yeah I really agree with you

re5 VS actually has the mechanic itself you should learn how the mechanic gameplay works so that it (for example learning weapon spawn on each map, taking damage to your enemies to gain points)

just play re5 on the console so you will get experience playing VS
