Why bots are better then real players?

[wakeupmarkey]

Serious question, why bots better then real people playing this game? Bots are doing gens at least and they can perform better in chases then some individuals.
Will the developers add a soloq option with 3 bots instead of 3 real people? I bet my escape rate would be higher with that.

Personally I think it seems that the bots now can know the killer's positioning behind a wall when they are near them, whereas a survivor player can't see through walls. They also don't have any reflex time like normal people. This is why it seems they always move the correct way to loop the killer. I could be wrong ofc.

Yesterday I watched a streamer spectate a match with bots, where they dc'd on purpose to see how well the bots play. It was a lot of fun to watch, but when faced with The Doctor, the bots could not hit any skill checks to get rid of the insanity, and when faced with plague they kept getting rid of the status effect asap. I bet there is a lot to improve on the bots still, but also balance out.

bots do gens, real players just cry about nerf this, killer op by devs.

i mean they kinda have to be considering all survivors are leaving the game.

He probably meant to say: If bots are better THAN real players, THEN real players are not needed anymore in this game.

Bots have been programmed to try and counter / deal with killers' powers, rather than do the same thing over and over, and complain when it doesn't work.

them going against a doctor was hilarious to watch, they aren't programmed to hit skill checks like his and since every part of the skill check counts as a great I assume they try to hit the good part of it despite it not being there so they just sit there missing 90% of the skill checks while incapacitated

bots dont go 'wah wah the killer is mean 2 me'

The amount of games thrown away by a refusal to gens by the team is staggering.

Because they are Ki`s they learn much faster than we do and they remember every move and every mistake etc....

Yes, Im sure Behavior let there bots run by an unrestricted AI, maybe Singularity himself.

I say it for years, but a sickening big part of the survivor community has never learnt basic game concepts because they where carried by Discord. A bot on the other hand has nothing but scripts to do basic gamemechanics.

there are 4 major complaints I have about the bots. 1: When it comes to to dodging and junking ranged powers for killers, bots have a reaction speed that rivals precognition. You aint hitting them. Ever. 2: they have wall hacks and because of that you can never mind game them. 3: they do not behave even remotely like an actual player. They do not use the good loops, and instead opt for loops in which they can just abuse their wall hacks or just run along the outskirts of the map which they are also gods at. 4: they are absolutely atrocious at unhooks.

as a stealth killer, you are not gonna sneak up on them, they will know you are there regardless of how well you think you are hidden.

Most of the players are ultra casual and even after 2k hours can still be bad in chases, you only see this in dbd. It's no surprise bots are better than a large portion of players.

bots are horrible in general. they don't even measure up to a mediocre player. it's painful to see how many mistakes they make.. it is only a matter of moments for the killer to deal with them.
but as mentioned in the developer update, they will continue to improve the survivor bot AI so hopefully it will be better in the near future.
