Bots in ranked games

[Britbong.com]

The game is good until you realise you are fighting bots and your team are bots and even at higher ranks they either put 3 people together with 1 bot vs you with an entire team of bots, dead on arrival usual chinese affair of bot infested slop, same with Naraka Bladepoint dishonest practices.

I wish there were bots because at grandmaster 5 I can't find any matches for literal hours.

But those would be empty wins? Why not have actual matchmaking with real players? Literally everyone that plays is "le grandmaster uber 1337" rank due to all the bots it took to climb to the top.

I have a theory now. Rember ping-issues? It was every third match for me for some time. What if the cause of that lags was me playing against an actual player? Like I was playing 1v11 bots over and over again and suddenly - a match with a real players and server can't sync the latency.

Legit theory. Player count is already dropping like flies though.

Some Strikers make it easy to tell when it's a bot and others require a little more attention but not much.

I don't know how reliable the stats are, some bots just play enough games I guess, when it comes to figuring out who is what. If the issues with bots are as bad as they say go the route of what some mobas do; feed your higher tier bots top ranking player data and play styles.

I have been playing for three Hours so far and still at Bronze and every single Game is just with and against Bots.

[SwoleBenji]

Yep, it's a shame really. We're not ever gonna get a multiplayer Zone of the Enders game.

I supposed those with not gud enough skills will be seeing bots a lot while the gud skills enough will be meeting other gud skills gamers to fight in glorious PvP battle. This makes it way better than random games with no skill requirements to join any teams.

[SwoleBenji]

No, it's pretty much everyone from new players to "grand masters" seeing bots.

You get bot matches still in grandmasters if you lose 2 round, you then get put in an all bot match. Which stupid and a waste of time. Since, you can't help who you get match maked with. They need to do away with this system. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded.

Most amusing is narukami bot. Tracks thru mountains then does 90 degree screen turn to fire fully charged shoot to kill.

I feel you. As I'm playing Naru, more often than not I face such moments. Just now I had some hitting me without even having me on reticule with charged shot.

Still no dev response? Yikers.

For those defending bots because of queue time and how the Grandmaster doesn't have them... well that just makes the Grandmaster the new Bronze tier, with all tiers before being training phase.

Maybe thats something you approve but most players will drop before reaching Grandmaster once they notice the bots, surprisingly adding bots in a ranked pvp game isn't popular.

And game likes this NEED a sizable player base to thrive, its their problem for creating the game like this.
