Add option to disable Blizzard bots

It’s been a while since I last posted because I stopped playing Hearthstone, so hiya all!

So here’s my issue, because I was barely playing any Hearthstone at all, I am now at noobie ranks and MMR. Ranking up with almost no star bonus at all is, of course, a terrible slog. But this expansion seems fun so far, so that’s not a problem, I will recover my MMR eventually. The worst part of this process is actually the Blizzard bots. Around 60% of my matches are bots. They’re extremely dumb and easy to win, obviously, but they make an awful play experience. I want to play real games against actual human beings and I would prefer to wait a bit longer to find a real opponent and get an enjoyable play experience. It doesn’t seem like a big ask if we could just disable these bots. Please?

Isn’t that good though? You can rise up in ranks easily. While they can be annoying.

True, but it’s just not fun. I prefer to take a bit longer to rank than to feel like I am playing a single player game with bad AI.

Yeah it makes it longer to rank up after facing bots.

They really do just ruin the game, doesnt matter that ‘‘Oh but its a free win bro’’, it’s 3-4 minutes where you essentially don’t get to play the game, point everything face, and win 100% guaranteed. Just totally pointless, it’s more fun losing to a real player than winning against these.

Nonsense, pleb. You will own nothing and you WILL be happy.

This bot hysteria is boring.

Blizzard could end the bot hysteria and moaning by removing them from the game. Most sane people would rather sit a 10 minute queue than play a PvE match against a braindead bot that autoloses like you are in some sort of kids playpen safe space because you happened to get RNG clapped 2 games in a row

Most dccgs that allow bots in the queue have an option to disable it. Why is it always hearthstone and only hearthstone that lacks such basic QoL features?

Who is hysterical tho? I am asking for a menu option to disable AI opponents for those of us who don’t like to face bots. I don’t understand :sweat_smile:

I don’t understand how you could type out that entire sentence and think “yeah, nothing wrong here.”

No. Like 90% of players would never under any circumstances spend ten full minutes in queue.

You are technically correct, even without bots no one’s queue will ever take 10 whole minutes to find a player.

If there are this many people matched against bots, why aren’t they matched against each other instead?
