how to spot bots - just look at their name

[BAEBLADE]

There is a pretty recognizable naming convention used on the netease bots in quickplay. Below is a list of all the ones ive pulled from just my current match history. The code splices two real names together to make the username.
Notice the pattern of capital letter non-word string + capital letter non word string. Most common being a two letter string at the end. most of the time there are 2-4 bots in the matches i pulled these names from.

If you still deny their existence, just play quickplay with one of these types of names and then watch the game back and spectate them. they don't play obj and every ult is wasted, missed, stop moving, etc. And then look up netease's history with deploying in-game bots to boost player retention.
whether you like the bots or not is one thing, but people needs to stop denying that its a thing when it so obviously is.

Wow thanks for this information.. Can you please expose the bots on Youtube - Instagram - Twitch ?

You did a lot of work. For nothing :D Amazing, online game has bots when people disconnect etc. I hope you've got a giant grant from your goverment to do this extensive research xD

i am simply helping others identify bots. and for what its worth, these aren't backfilled spots. I would be happy to share the replay codes for all the games if you would like to see for yourself.

While this does seem to be an undeniable pattern of behavior, I do have to wonder why anybody would make such bots so easily recognizable if they wanted to try and keep it at least slightly secret.

We're not going to name our bots Jeff The Land Shark - Easy cuz that will be a dead give away....but.....here we have bots.

I am not sure they care about hiding it considering how few players seem to care about the existence of it. And they do it in other games. Naraka Bladepoint is probably the most known one.

its not even from a disconnect, the game will put you in brand new fresh match , everyone loading in at once and there WILL be bots on your team, making the entire match essentially a loss the moment it starts because these bots are...bots. they suck.

I am not sure they care about hiding it considering how few players seem to care about the existence of it. And they do it in other games. Naraka Bladepoint is probably the most known one.

If they didn't care about hiding it then just use the games standard AI name, Jeff the Land Shark - Easy and make them spawn in at 0:00

I'm not saying that they aren't, but you have to look at it from a couple different angles.

OK so, a quick search on the internet shows that people are already selling marvel accounts. On one website a single person has 144 accounts listed. ONE person. They didn't level those up by hand.

Net ease has 100% failed to prevent this, we ARE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ playing bots non stop in matches!

true, i personally just don't believe these accounts specifically are accounts to be sold bots because of when i have run into them: after a few consecutive losses and when i duo'd with my friend who was brand new. a couple were also in games after consecutive wins, probably playing against players on losing streaks.

Have you even played the game at all? It's entire teams of bots, not just bots when people disconnect. Why do you feel the need to make up lies?

So turns out, you aren't being matched with bots. You are being matched with a script programmed to lose intentionally because the matchmaking sees you as their level.

now if only NetEase would stop enabling this practice...

That's not entirely true, bots can have different names as we proven already.
