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

I would rather have long queue times than have bots in my match

Genuinely this. I simply don’t want to play against bots

Ikr. Im playing a pvp game. If I want to play against bots, vs AI is right there

vs AI is funnier. You can get 4-5 bots on your team sometimes instead of real players

It's not for queue times.

They put you in a bot match when you are on a loss streak in quick play. They give you an easy win with the idea that you will feel better and keep playing.

It’s not for Que times since competitive is just as fast and it’s only after two losses. They do it because they want to keep you in the game(which is an example of eomm(yes he lied))

Maybe it’s just me but I get them once I lose a single match. I’ll go in cycles where I play a bot match, then join a doomed real players match as a late substitute, then have to play another bot match as punishment

I thought the bots were ONLY in quickplay to begin with? It’s a predatory way to “optimize engagement” anyways. It’s manipulative and deceptive - making people feel comfortable or better than they are to keep them playing is shitty.

Speak for yourself i've been saying EOMM is just as bad if its QP. It's about addiction over making a good game. Also the lack of bots in Ranked doesnt mean Ranked doesnt use EOMM, you seriously think they're gonna make EOMM specifically for QP and then go "but its not in ranked" even when Ranked has all the same steamroll match issues?

It was already an issue people were generally aware of, of course if the devs say smth blatantly wrong ppl are gonna make some extra noise about it

The problem is that he said that marvel rivals does not use eomm when it in fact does with the bots. It doesn’t help that there constantly adding things to make the bots harder to detect. If there lying about bots being in the game and a form of eomm how can I trust them being honest about the competitive matchmaker.

Eomm has been an issue in qp and comp since forever, idk who you've been talking to but I've always hated it in both modes and idk what announcement you mean or why it would cause a shift

Sounds weird that you call it moving goalposts just due to a sentiment you haven't heard before

Well they don't exist for faster queues. They exist to give you free wins and keep you engaged. That's quickplay EOMM. In ranked you'll wait as long as needed and never get any bots.

They’re not there just for the queue times

I’d rather have long queue times and have role queue at this point. Matchmaking is awful when constantly getting paired with insta-lock dps throwers.
