Please add an option to toggle on/off the auto backfill team with bots for PVE missions after 2mins…
I’m happy to wait longer to get 4 real peeps when I have the time, especially for Expert & above.
Currently you have to wait 2 mins, auto join with some back filled bots, then leave & rejoin at back of queue for another 2 mins to do the same multiple times b4 you get 4 players in team within the cutoff timeframe.
I have no idea why Blizzard has never implemented this that every other game operates on. Implement a quick play PvE feature and allow people to backfill those games. Let people create custom and private lobbies.
The other thing too is allowing more ranzomized spawn events. Enemy movements are somewhat ranzomied for some while being scripted for others.
Because you don’t put effort into cash-grabs, probably. Why spend time and resources towards something that’s just supposed to be a quick buck?
I knew it was going to get bad when within the first week you got bots in nearly every match. And I have had them all, they are all pretty terrible. For the most part on the Underground mission they just stand near the objective and twiddle their thumbs. Lucio at least has AoE healing but genji and winston are real bad as bots.
Plus a lot of the time if some one joins a game and is either afk or leaves because the hero they wanted was already picked…you get a bot. Nearly every match Lucio is a bot.
PvE should also have a pause feature while waiting for players, bots or not.
I just did a mission, and it started with 1 bot right away. Then one of our human players quit because he couldn’t figure out how to play (collecting the batteries), so we got another bot as backfill.
I am playing Mercy, and after a while I realize the one remaining human player teammate also had NO IDEA how to play! So I went, as Mercy, doing all the running around.
This mission took nearly a half hour. The bots would literally stand in the explosions and die often, and the Soldier bot often stood there shooting the TS-1, I am not kidding!
What really was a slap in the face is that I must have resurrected at least 12 players or bots combined, but they counted as zero in the mission. I mean pressing Mercy’s rez button, not that revive mechanic.
I can’t even begin with all that’s wrong with this PvE mode. It’s really, really poorly implemented in so many ways.
