Bots in FPS games always follow a node system, they are easy to detect because they can't go out of their path, but the people in your team are not bots, they are just players who press W to their death, which is a very human thing to do.

And if you are not convice, there is a lot of way to prove that someone is a real human, bot on FPS games are far to operational

your fist matches happened to be vs players who were new or just not that good maybe, the match maker is still trying to figure out how good you are

there are no hidden bot matches in this game

i would like to see replay code footage if you have any, from the replay codes of "bots" i've seen, they're not bots it's usually someone just very bad at the game

Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes – January 28, 2025
Hotfix Feature Update

This is a feature hotfix. Replay codes from the January 21, 2025 patch are still available.
New Player Experience

Players new to Overwatch 2 may encounter AI-controlled opponents in the first five opening matches of Quick Play.
New players will now have Quick Play Role Queue available instead of Quick Play Open Queue.
The total number of matches required to unlock all other modes has been reduced from 10 to 5.
Players on new accounts that demonstrate clearly experienced performance may be immediately seeded to higher MMR faster. Those on seasoned accounts who have already played multiple games are not subjected to this rapid MMR adjustment.
