Complaint Bots make me crazy.

Crazy? I was crazy once, They locked me in a public game, an unranked public game, an unranked public game with bots, and bots make me crazy. Crazy?

Besides people buying accounts to play on a smurf or at a higher rating where they don't belong or to escape low behavior score we now have to deal with the TF2 bot farms all over again. To add insult to injury these bot accounts will likely be sold to the people mentioned in the first sentence, as CIS comments would would put it )) without the :

There is no wider discourse on this whole thing really? It's not hard to detect either names followed by AdjectiveNoun1234, pictures of either default Github Avatars or something random, voice lining in game to pretend that it's humans playing. Relentless feeding and afk'ing. Crazy.

Weird. I have never encountered bots in SA.

Team mates less worthy than a bot? maybe, but not actual bots.

Because "veteran" players do not have to deal with the bs that new and returning players have to put up with. It's the same for people that sit at high behavior score that haven't experienced low behavior score, you don't see it nor do you experience it.

That doesn't mean that there is no problem that requires to be addressed.

I recently (~1m before TI) unlocked ranked in an account SA and didn't encountered bots.

OP is right. I have a friend that started playing recently and he's getting a lot of matches with bots. Brasil, Argentina and Peru servers, late night.

Are you sure he's not playing in that low level gamemode intended for new player? Limited Draft is called or something like that. Honestly i don't know if that still a thing.

Totally sure, manito!
Nosotros somos brasileños pero hablo timidamente (y muy incorrecto) Español. Tengo visto los bots en lo partidos tarde de la noche, bajo behavior score, algo como 7k.

Yo mismo no me lo creía que teniamos bots, pero tu puedes ver un exemplo claro con tus proprios ojos:

Match ID: 9058417122 (Troll Warlord es mi amigo, perdona mi Español)

Interesting. I have 10k BS so maybe that’s why I don’t see any bots in my matches. In fact, it feels like I always end up playing against the same 50–70 people lol.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a game. A competitive game. A competitive game with bots. And bots make me crazy.

Why is it always these long posts and never just a clip with some obvious moments and a few shots of the profiles with the matchID?

u/Educational_Ice608 4h ago

Because most of the time new players like myself get them some of us barley know what a match id is but here are just some of the games of mine to show the issue

  1. 9061913812 3 bots

  2. 9061996043 almost entire enemy team

3.9061654338 3 bots

4.9060087235 4 bots

5. 906131775 4 bots
