bots after a single loss in QP?

[Aureo]

I cannot play ranked with my friends since they play on console and I play on pc, so we are forced to play QP, and its so infuriating that after losing 1 or 2 matches we get a guaranteed bot match afterwards, all we want is to have fun playing other real people, even if we lose 10 in a row, but instead we get punished with boring ass bot matches that makes our K/D go 40/0, couldnt they simply put bot matches after losing maybe 4 or 5 in a row? at least we would have chances of winning against real people before getting the bots? Right now my days goes like this:
(loss) oh no guess you will have to play bots next,
(wins bot match),
(loss) too bad bots again,
(wins bot match),
(loss) hey you woudnt believe what I got for you next,
(wins bot match).

I understand their objective with bot matches, but couldnt they at least decrease the frequency of bot matches, create a mode just for pve or give me a option to disable it?

Its annoying when you're stuck with a team of 4 DPS who collectively have less kills than you on Peni (one of the lowest damage characters in the game) and then you get punished with bots.

there is a few vids out there showing that even in qp and EVEN if you win you will be paired with bots

Wait a second, you lose 10+ quick play matches in a row. Then the game gives you bots cause you are clearly bad at the game and then you are upset it's too easy cause you go 40-0?

Others have pointed out that the average MR game is going to be a stomp one way or the other. The game is so highly dependent on a few things going right or wrong that players commonly complain about a feeling of helplessness as, regardless of your individual skill, it often feels like the outcome is out of your hands. I play a lot of Magik. If I'm on a good team, I do good. If things don't go right, I do poorly. I'll either cut them down like Conan the Barbarian or I'll get melted the moment I stick my head out. The average person (and average people ARE the backbone of the game as 80% of the player base will never make it to gold) needs a break sometimes. If you're on a losing streak, you need a W.

If your ego is so fragile you need the game to put you v braindead bots to win, why are you in QM, not vs ai? How is "a W" v bots worth anything? Wow, you beat something designed to lose, gj

When I launch 6 player vs 6 player mode, I want to play 6 player vs 6 player mode. What don't you understand?

[Terotrous]

You can get bots after 1 loss, I've seen it once. It's also possible not to get it after 3 losses. I would guess there's a random chance of bots after every loss that increases with each successive loss.

The problem is that u do not need to lose 10 quick play matches in a row to get bots, you just need 1 loss to get bots.

I highly suspect that win or loss has nothing to do with wether you are pairing against bots or not.

What I suspect is that those bots are actually FARMING bots.

You can clearly see that they do not behave like the official bots in training matches.
