Can blizzard finally stop creating bots to simulate Hots online? For what? They play constantly on one given hero, every time automatically creating a new account, in qm they are already literally 85% of all players. 
Who are all these complicated activities for?
I doubt it is Blizzard making those. More likely some sort of malicious agent, possibly wanting to sell accounts or rig matches.
It happens in every qm match, everyone sees it, and judging by the fact that the local olds are silent, who answer in a split second because they havenât played the game for a long time and sit on the forum 24/7 (why I wonder? 
) - then they are blizzard bots and they know about them, or they make money on it themselves
Or more likely, we have already awnsered these posts a billion infinity times are are sick of them now.
As far as I know people bot in vs ai to grind for gold occasionally. I just about never see bots in qm.
Just search for older posts where this has already been discussed next time : s
bestie Iâm playing Stardew Valleyâs banger 1.6 update. Iâll give you an automated reply in a few weeks.
So okay, Iâm going to call this what it is, a conspiracy theory and one with no attempt to even provide evidence to support said theory.
Fine, let me entertain this idea for a minute. Why would Blizzard spend time and money to create bots to keep Hots functioning? You only need to look back at Blizzardâs history to know Blizzard isnât averse to making unpopular decisions, without concern for negative publicity, or customer backlash.
Just sticking to Hots, this is the company who overnight, without informing those involved, cancelled the HGC and put Hots in maintenance mode shortly after.
I get where youâre going with this, youâre suggesting Blizzard is going to these elaborate efforts to perhaps please Microsoft? That might have made some sense before the acquisition, but it makes none now. As weâre just throwing out unfounded opinions here, my feels tell me Microsoft was more interested in Activision with Blizzard either being a bonus, or an unavoidable detriment to that deal.
I have a question for you, are you in the habit of making smurf accounts? If that is the case, you might end up playing with an occasional bot, or a player who is so new, that you might mistake their actions for a bot.
Keep in mind, many people have claimed here on the forums that they create new accounts to troll with, that could resemble bot behavior. It is extremely rare that I see any player with an account level over 1k who deliberately dies to towers, or behaves in the manner of a bot.
The majority of times I encounter disruptive behavior, itâs from low level accounts in ARAM. Iâve even had matches where someone will call out one of these low level accounts as being a bot, only for the âbotâ to reply in chat, that they are, in fact, not a bot.
For clarification, itâs not lost on me that I have spent more time fleshing out âreasonsâ for your conspiracy theory to be valid than you did, but hey, Iâm just a local old.
Most people got better stuff to do then trying to argue with an emojie kid that spam the forum. Maybe thats why.
Oh, here come the Olds - the only ones on the forum, the rest are their Smurfs. Have you noticed youâre the only ones answering? Literally a couple accounts of the same people 
But whatever. I realize itâs been a long time since youâve played Hots, but for the sake of interest you can just go to qm now and youâll see the picture I described. Whatâs the point of arguing about it?
Why do you assume we all the same and we donât play anymore?
Like, i was literally playing yesterday.
Here

You make the stranges assumptions.
Youâre probably the only one who played yesterday. And you have too few posts, so average compared to them.
By the way, can someone explain to me where Iâm spamming? Why my post was hidden?
My last post was a week ago, since then Iâve written 2 more replies, what is this nonsense? 
Has the game progress reached a new level and now the game is being abused on the forum? 
You posted this same thread like a day ago which was removed. 
This is sort of the forums (the image above,) that youâve probably never used, nor will you likely ever. The point being, thatâs a sample of when the game/forums were âaliveâ based on the activity.
The âmajorityâ of people on the forums only come around to look for replies from dev staff, ie blues. Whatever ignorant conspiracy you want to rant about this day or tomorrow is going to be wrong by virtue of how unobservant you are. Even when blues post important announcements or ask for feedback about 3% of the forum activity is from people posting.
âoh youâre the only onesâŚâ
yea, most people just lurk, only care for game announcements and donât bother with you. Thatâs not a conspiracy, itâs not from bots or alts, itâs that most people donât care about you, or anyone else. When you manage to upgrade your observational skills a smidge more, you might realize you arenât the center of the universe, nor are you the counter-point to it.
Why are you answering instead of Minky? Did I ask you? 
Are you a Minkyâs smurf and forgot to change your acc? Why are you answering for everyone? Is it all your smurfs and you really know for a fact that no one sitting on the forum has played this game for a long time anymore and that I was right? Iâm just guessing and youâre asserting.
Youâre probably the only one whose opinion Iâm not really interested in so your portrait is clear to me as it is, Mr. âIâll reply faster to any of your posts than you finish writing it even if no one asked me and does not see a dialog with meâ. Practice your love of useless debate on others, ok
So Iâm asking you not to reply to othersâ posts first of all, and secondly, Iâm exempting you from replying to mine. Wait thoughâŚitâs not like I asked you anything, right? Okay
Beacuse your being annoying as heck.
I donât care, better answer whose smurf are you?
Wat
How could you not see this is my main from that link i sent earlier.
How do I know , the local olds have played so much they sure have a couple smurfs with 10k posts to like themselves
er, have they
or has it
?
damn, thatâs crazy long time ago.
Iâll put the same effort into my reply that you put into your reply to me, to quote Lt. Morales; âSure, whatever.â
As you donât want to, or canât find evidence to support your OP, you resort to personal attacks, yet, unsurprisingly, you didnât address any points in my reply. You couldnât be bothered to add anything to your own weak argument, which is just, lazy, lazy, lazy.
This is coming from me, an often low effort fluff poster, so take that as you will.
Unlike others, who (correctly) ignored you, as you have already posted about this âissueâ, I did at least engage with your flimsy argument, an argument you canât even be bothered to engage with yourself, so why even bother to post here if you donât even want to discuss it yourself?
I get the impression youâre playing on a low level account, which puts you in the new player pool in QM. This is why youâre meeting more trolls, who might resemble bots, or simply new players who are, well, new and bad. Itâs rare for me to encounter players (US server) in QM who behave like you describe, but I play on a veteran account Iâve had since Hots was released.
I do have a couple of friends who are relatively new to Hots, who experience what you do, as they have low level accounts and are in the new player pool. However, players feeding, or going AFK, does not make them bots, let alone bots that Blizzard created for what reason?
Why not take a stab at answering your own question? Lay out some theories as to why Blizzard would create Bots, and bad ones at that.
*Edit: I better say what should not need to be said, but yes, bots do exist. Is botting a commonplace occurrence? My guess would be no.
