Bot improvements are needed
Primarily the bots need improved pathfinding as they tend to clump up together and follow exactly the same paths.

I agree

I would also like to see them act a little more human. Prone, Crouch, Jump/Jumpshots, leaning...Sprinting, unless they sprint and I am mistaken.

I prefer humans to bots, but since they are placeholders, all improvements are greatly appreciated.

Bots for Competitive Drop outs/ Placeholders

Yep. Howard said, if I remember correctly, they will improve them.

These bots remind me of the first few version of Pezbots from cod4. Pretty sure the programming is the same, it's not easy to map out and there are probably already over like 30 waypoints.

But this game is a competitive 5v5 at its core. I don't see a need for improved bots. They are there to fill the lobby, thats about it. The developers have maaanyyyyy other issues to fix before they should look at the bots.

Im not saying it should be their top priority but I often play in servers with bots they could be seriously be improved in the future. If they thought it was worth putting in then its worth fixing. However it should be low priority to basically everything else.

Yes, but only if you are playing the Arcade or Rifle playlist. Server browser and Lan Matches do not give you experience.

Yes, it's a lot of fun, my favorite mode is Capture the Flag. There is also no problem finding matches with players outside of competitive. Now would be prime time to jump in.

The playerbase is not that small and it is quite active (a lot of people play a lot), it is big enough (in EU) to play all day long without queus.

Hmmm, I don't know. NA players base is always lower, but when I look on the graphs, it doesnt seem to be that bad at 4, 5 CEST, however, someone from NA will have a better picture.

I assume they will add more servers soon since the population has been steadily increasing, but the games only been out for a short time. Also it might be a bug, I have higher ping than normal as well.

Yeah I hope so cause I cant really play this game then. Except with the bots in Lan but you can't really rank up in lan or get a sense of progression out if it. So I guess I have to wait for them to fix it or ill have to get a refund then :(.
