[!] Bots are not working anymore or buggy as hell!

I am trying to create custom game or play some PVE custom games : bots are either not working anymore when I want them to be a specific Hero, either it’s buggy (they appear only if I choose the option “choose the most appropriate bot hero” setting, but they are picked randomly)

And yes it’s a map where bots are usually working (such as Paris).

this is why i made my own bots 4 years ago in OW1, blizzard don’t care for bots… they never have, the only real update they ever got, was only gotten because they already had to recode it all for a new engine during the swap to overwatch 2…

most PVE modes use dummy bots as well. so it shouldn’t be too much issue if blizzard just break theirs, granted most PVE bots are quite dumb. but they got the job done & i have entire modes focused on bots themselves allowing them to be a little bit smarter (still quite dumb) because no other resources are needed for other gameplay.

Yep. Bots only spawn if you put a role instead of a specific hero.

Also, Soldier and Hanzo sometimes take minutes to exit spawn room, and sometimes Bot AI breaks, and they stare to the ceiling or not shoot at all until you reset the lobby :person_shrugging:

Do you know the worst part? Blizzard is not going to fix it because Workshop and PvE are dead to them :cry:

Seriously, the bug was reported on the day of the 14 season update, but it seems that Blizzard doesn’t think it’s a bug. After all, it has not been added to the “known issues” list. Well done, Blizzard. :slightly_smiling_face:

Guess what, after more than a month has passed, Blizzard finally fixed the issue in today’s mid-season update, well done Blizzard a few more bugs like this and my life will soon be drained by you :heart:.
