I'm Being Gaslit by these Developers

[Koningkrush]

After finding out about the botting issue, I went through my previous games. I found four games that had one player in the match with "Restricted Access" to their profile. I watched their game play, and sure enough it was somehow simultaneously competent with incomprehensibly stupid decision making, such as getting plenty of kills but then suddenly attacking a wall for five seconds for no reason and getting stuck on terrain, as if they had horrific amounts of lag or had a stroke in real life.

After marking these matches as favorites and entering "Bot game" in their note fields, I closed out of the game and did more research about this online. I then discovered that I shouldn't be able to look up these profiles if they are bots since they don't exist.

I re-open the game, and then discover that these profiles do suddenly exist and they are now "Limited Access" instead of "Restricted Access".

I go back to my favorite matches and check the profiles there again. Sure enough, they are now "Limited" instead of "Restricted".

Am I going insane? I genuinely am starting to question my sanity like I can't trust my own memory anymore.

Just play ranked, but I advise going to the games discord and finding a premade squad. Playing with randoms in ranked is a coin flip...

Do the bots exist in ranked? or they are Quick Match only ?

Just know that the game puts you against bots if you loose too many qp games in a row.
No need to loose sleep over it.

Quick match only, and usually after 2-3 losses. Dead giveaway is no one talking on their team when you bait them in match chat...
