too many matches include a bot teammate for one team.

[Daeburon]

i dont know why Psyonix thinks its fine to start a match with 3 players and 1 bot. the bots are terrible. you cant play normally if you have a bot teammate, the only viable strat is to stay near goal, play hyper defensive, and hope an actual player joins soon.

bots will not score off the most perfect passes. you can set them up with a perfect assist, so they barely have to bump the ball into an open net. bot wont do it. they also will not even attempt the most basic saves.

this type of gameplay is not fun or meaningful. i have a second monitor, so id rather wait the additional minute or two for an actual teammate to join so we can have a proper 2v2.

its got to the point that if a game is about to start, and there are only 3 players, then the guy who is about to get an AI teammate will just drop out of the game and re-queue. this is now wasting all the players time and making matchmaking even worse. at this point, it would have been better for the matchmaking to have just waited for a 4th player.

i feel like this is going to be like Old Neo Tokyo all over again. people hated that map, and if it came up in the rotation, people just left the game, and when it was coming up too often people just played more of other games, even uninstalling RL over it. thank god they finally listened, and standardized the maps, but we could have all been better off, with less hassle, if they just reacted sooner to the problems. they should do the same with the AI bot problem.

i think psyonix should just remove bots from casual play. just have them there for players to practice or if they want them for exhibition games.

They have a ranked mode for people who don't want the bots filling in for players, personally I'll always take a bot over 2v1.

there are plenty of companies like that. they just see customers as a part of a financial equation they can exploit.

[reverb]

tl;dr bots are only in casual and casual doesn't matter

I totally agree but apart from waste proccessing facilities there aren't any other comapnies that view garbage as a key part of their financial equations.

sure, but its same way. yr only good to pay and let u feel like something special so you pay again and again.

Garbage is something that a comapany need to dispose of not extract money from "again and again".

Why are you even complaining about casual

[Daeburon]

doesnt matter if its casual or ranked. casual is supposed to be the mode "for fun" well AI bot teammates make the game not fun. Rocket League as a whole is supposed to be fun and bot teammates get in the way of that.

doesnt matter how "serious" ranked or casual is, if the game can be improved by removing AI bots, they should be (and it would be improved).

imo, they should just stop separating casual and ranked completely, and if you dont want to see rank, just have a checkbox to hide it...whats the difference? then we could all get full games much faster and no bots.

sure, maybe you get people not "taking it serious" when you are, but if their half ass play MMR is the same as someone elses serious MMR, then it doesnt really matter...it will be almost only all serious players past a certain MMR anyways. the half ass people will sort themselves out toward the bottom.

tldr
casual isnt for fun, casual is unranked

I don't think bots are a problem at all when playing Casual. To be honest, there have been many times where i would have rather had a bot on my team than a bad toxic player. At least bots are somewhat predictable. When i pass it to a bot there is a good chance it will take a shot. And it never cries when we get scored on. My boy Junker is pretty badass sometimes and i've seen Maverick and Hollywood make pretty sick saves. I can't say that for half the teammates i've had lol

yep
