I heard that if the queue for story missions take too long it puts you in with bots, but when me and my friend tried to play we were just stuck in queue. how do you play with bots?
What difficulty are you trying?
I never had an issue getting bots after a 30 second queue on the easiest difficulty, but I also haven’t tried it in a few months. It’s possible Blizzard broke stuff in the last few updates.
