Botting in Overwatch

Lately I’ve been encountering players who simply keep spamming shoot and making a beeline for the enemy. No self preservation, they will not dodge or chat, they will simply move shoot and die without getting kills or even charging their ult actively.

How can I avoid these bots?

I had a few game were I wondered the same thing. It didnt felt like I was fighting against other player. Felt like they were bots , when looking at how they moved , fought.

Hard to describ , but something felt off about those particular matchs.

Sort of the same feeling in League of Legend or Smite when you play a match against player vs computer in contrast to a match player vs player. The behavior not the same

just recently seen a hanzo that was aiming and shooting at his feet with no reaction to whats happening in front of him moving in random directions just same as soldier a while ago.

kinda strange only seen it in FFA though

I thought they started botting because it was 2x weekend or something.

That’s called ‘Bronze’

Okay from what I’ve experienced so far, essentially the botter prefers losing matches because they will generally be shorter which is why the bots will try to either not contribute to the fight or feed.

That means doing repetitive movements, spamming jumps outside of the map either in safety or having the bot walk out of spawn to prevent being kicked as an afk. Using ults or damage dealing is not necessary and might actually be impossible for a bot this primitive. Shorter matches are preferred and likely losses since its a 4v5 fight.

When you see players hanging out at spawn just doing repeat movements or simply walking with low/0 damage dealt it’s probably a bot.

The owner seems to be able to see chat and game stats.

well not in my case. i suck on all 18 of my accnts. and my wife sucks on all 6 of hers. we really suck, we’re not botting, and don’t you dare report us. gitgud and carry our husband/wife duo. we’re passed the acne stage of life. it’s not up to us to sweat for your entertainment. gl hf it’s not even a script.

If you playing like that then you dont just suck. You’re downright throwing. Then you’ll have bigger problems that this thread cannot address.
