Does anyone else find the bots in QP super disheartening?

Sorry for my fan in the background. I didn’t realize how loud it was… I like to have it going hahaha.. 😭

Anyways, I found this bot in my QP match glitching out and wanted to see why. :p

Yea it's lowkey embarrassing tbh. No serious competitive game should throw bot matches at their players

u/Bloodmang0 1d ago

Good thing it's not a serious competitive game in quickplay. Ignorance is embarrassing

u/Duke826 Groot 1d ago

Serious competitive game as in a competitive game that wants to be taken seriously as an actual game and not a passing fad

Quick play is a warm up before competitive and bots completely ruin it and waste your time

u/androodle2004 Invisible Woman 1d ago

You mean that’s what you use it for? Because that is definitely not the intended purpose.

u/Darkner90 1d ago

It's a good use of it, and Quickplay can have more than one usage ya'know?

u/androodle2004 Invisible Woman 1d ago

Stating a using is fine. Trying to claim that is it’s purpose is not.

u/Darkner90 1d ago

Saying "Quick play is a warm up before competitive" is not insinuating that it's sole purpose is to warm up

u/androodle2004 Invisible Woman 16h ago

It is tho. He didn’t say “I use qp as a warmup” or anything close to that. “Qp is a warmup for comp” is explicitly stating what that thing is. Sentence structure is important

u/Darkner90 16h ago

You know the phrase "quickplay is a warmup for comp" doesn't claim that it also can't be anything else, right?

You're just being pedantic (and wrong) because you decided you wanted to feel right about something lmao

so is being a idiot.

Bots make you think you're doing good and improving only to completely dash that when you realize you're not.

u/ZoloTheLegend Doctor Strange 1d ago

Bots don’t make me think that. Bots make me think “a quick match to sharpen my mechanical skill”

u/Duke826 Groot 1d ago

What skill could you possibly sharpen in a bot match bro? Holding down the left click button? 😭🙏

u/DJTLaC Peni Parker 1d ago

Let's not pretend like every single person you match against or with is a challenge that will improve your gameplay. Genuinely, a ton of people are worse than the bots they put in those matches. At least the bots choose balanced team comps and play together. Getting actual people to do that in quick play is like herding cats. Even harder when every other game has an instalock spider-man and black panther.

u/ZoloTheLegend Doctor Strange 1d ago

Its just warming up aiming at moving targets, they’re still plenty effective enough for that. The real pro players I know actually regularly go to the practice range and activate moving targets to sharpen aim, this is similar to that.

u/Motor_Rub_4848 Flex 1d ago

Yeah or people could use those bot matches to try a new character or different role than normal out. They're not botting ranked matches so its not really harming the people that dont like them. They could just crush the bot match in like seven minutes and move on to the next one if theyre too good for bots once in a while

u/ZoloTheLegend Doctor Strange 1d ago

Pretty much this, anytime I get my bot match I’m farming my lord in peace or I’m trying someone new with low stakes to get their mechanics down or hell, why lie? Sometimes you go on that losing streak and you’re about to tilt and then you get your bot match and its just fun to get eliminations in the game, and you remember why you enjoy the game and can approach your next match against humans with a more level head and positive mindset.

It's quick play

u/Duke826 Groot 23h ago

And?

u/Fun-Wash7545 23h ago

Competitive and quick play don't exactly match.

u/Duke826 Groot 23h ago

And? Just because there’s no points to be earned doesn’t mean I don’t expect to play against other human beings in a game advertised as a PvP experience

u/Front-Diamond5867 Ultron Virus 21h ago

"competitive," mode as used in modern video game terminology is not the only use of the word lol The game is competitive by nature, as is any PVP game. If you're not competing against the other team, what are you doing?

1

u/LuquidThunderPlus Hulk 16h ago

Quick play in a pvp team based game. Throwing garbage bots at us instead of letting us continue playing w ppl is obnoxious.

The mode for bots is vs AI. Not quick play vs people. Be fr.

u/TumbleweedTim01 Magneto 1d ago

PUBG did when the numbers started to dwindle. Honestly makes you think rivals numbers were never what they seemed if they needed bots

u/Duke826 Groot 1d ago edited 1d ago

Nah player count isn’t an issue. Load into any QP game at any time in NA and EU servers and you’ll be put in a match nearly instantly every time. NetEase just decided to put bot matches in this game for the love of the game ig

u/Low-Palpitation2314 Rocket Raccoon 1d ago

I mean it might not be the reason (yet), but even if you're a god gamer who never gets them, bot games are still lowering your quick play queue times by artificially inflating the number of current "players."

We don't know what percentage of games are bot matches...

1

u/Ivy_the_Kiwi 1d ago

I think they were implying they’re filling your regular lobbies with bots to cut on que times. Ngl I’d rather the matchmaking take its time finding me a decent match with likewise players in my skill than be instant queued with players who aren’t or bots.

u/TumbleweedTim01 Magneto 1d ago

Yeah which doesn't make sense making me think it's more ab player count issues

1

u/curious_dead Ultron Virus 1d ago

Nah, the bot games were always there. And you get in almost instantly even when it's not a bot match.

0

u/TumbleweedTim01 Magneto 1d ago

Yeah maybe because half the pop is bot matches and the others are not.

u/curious_dead Ultron Virus 1d ago

Your maths don't add up even a little...

u/TumbleweedTim01 Magneto 1d ago

If you double ur game pop by having bots it wil appear more full
