In custom game lobbies, the AI bots that can be added to the lobby, for those who don’t have friends to play with, will not join the match once it begins.
I did some testing, and it turns out that this ONLY happens when said AI bot is set to choose a specific hero to play as.
This also does not apply to custom game Dummy Bots.
Having the same issue with my custom mode. Whenever you select a hero for a bot (like ‘Extreme Lucio’) that bot will not spawn.
Easy to reproduce: start a game > Add AI > pick a Hero > Add. The bot in that slot won’t spawn ever. In-game, that slot will show as “Waiting for Player…”
I can’t spawn any bots until i restart and try again for like 5 times everything worked fine for 2 hours than randomly no one got spawned neither bots or players this started for me like 10+ days ago
