Say goodbye to Blizzard Bots in Standard!

  • ‘[Hearthstone] Blizzard Bots have been removed from the Standard ranked ladder. They are now limited to Apprentice (and new/lower-ranked Battlegrounds games), where they will continue to serve their role in smoothing out matchmaking for newer players.’

Huge news everyone

I believe they are actual players running bots. I faced one last month and they showed up on the Opponent list.

are there blizzbots in wild?

I am curious to understand why they reversed course.

I wonder if they are not preparing to deploy some sort of script to detect robotic play patterns like timing and click order.

That’d be sweet. Bots are actually really easy to detect, since they don’t hover over cards and never click the same card twice. Just basing a script off that would probably be easy to bypass idk.

One can only hope tho

They’ve never said that there are Blizzard bots in wild, at least not anywhere that I’ve seen. I’m pretty sure they were only ever Blizzard bots in Standard and (now) battlegrounds

Every single one of them is a bot. You are guaranteed for it to be a bot if it has a name with Chinese characters. The bots all play the same way. The deck has the exact same cards in it. It will continue to play, even if the wins conditions are removed. For example, taking the Marrogar with Theotar. It ends that final turn, playing whatever it can and then concedeing, as long as it is
still above a certain health threshold.

Incoming complaints.

“These queue times are completely unacceptable. I had to way for 2 minutes to get a match”.
“Why am i being paired up against players with higher MMR so much”?

I’ve said it before. I am fine waiting that long, or longer, if that is what it takes to NOT be matched with bots.

Wow, now it will be much easier to encounter aggro unofficial bots instead, yay! At least it’s less infested than Wild. I swear 95% of Wild must be bots.

You mispelled Standard and wrote Wild, somehow.

No, I didn’t. Because the bots are far more prominent in Wild. Nothing but aggro Shamans, Rogues, and occasionally Death Knights.
