Serious question. Are all players actual humans or does Blizzard pad some of the matches with bots?

As far as we’ve ever been told Blizzard does not put bots in games. Some players will run bots to level accounts though.

yes and no. sometimes there has been reports of bots but the bot occurrences are usually rare and only when player counts are low.
They cant balance heroes and you expect them to create high-quality military ai

I would think that if they actually used bots, queue times would not have been as high for OW1. That being said, anything is possible. It certainly feels like they do sometimes. But if you are asking “has blizzard ever admitted to using bots in OW2?” No. I don’t think they have

I mean, they don’t even have real mods on thier forums.? Why would you expect real players.
no they do not, but a lot of players play worse than the bots so honestly it would be an advantage at times
only bots in matches are dumb player hosted ones to sell accs

those are players who botted them and sold accounts. you won’t find it recently because selling an account is less valuable than it used to be.
They don’t. The only bots are in PvE or the vs AI option. And if you’ve played against their bots in those modes then you know how bad the AI actually is.

I do have a feeling nowadays that sometimes the game has bots.
Like seeing this tracer at the end of the clip they kinda stand still after blinking in middle to shoot.
That’s how blizzard bots play.
They also have a generic name rng with ow profile icon

I’ve thought the same at times. I think its just how different the skill level between players of the same rank can be. There is just something utterly wrong with the ranking system, the variance in skill at the same rank is just insane.

It is certainly possible. You couldn’t convince me that everyone in the lobby is a real person. That sounds negative, but this is actually reformed ThiccBuddha. I choose to believe no human being could be that useless.

Outside of Vs AI? Nope.
I have seen player controlled bots and multiboxers though. But they are really rare (and it’s very reportable, FYI.)
sometimes team mates and enemies play so bad i cant believe they are human, thats everything i had to say
100% they are bots, but real bots, not human players pretending be bots, i have played matches with enemies doing the same thing, but only in comp, so less people are playing comp

AI bot used for quicker Q times at off hours.
and to control your rank/WL rate at 50%.
Win too many games…get AI bot teammates so you lose.

I mean, it would explain why I keep failing the Voight-Kampff test and captchas never work right for me…

The average OW player has such little brain activity, they could be declared legally dead.
