Add an optional filter that allows players to search exclusively for casual matches without bots. When enabled, matchmaking would only place the player in servers populated by human players. Those who prefer faster matchmaking could leave the option disabled and continue joining matches where bots fill empty slots. This would give players control over whether they prioritize shorter queue times or human-only matches.
I would love this! My biggest gripe with this game is the amount of bots in games. I'd rather wait longer, or play with fewer humans most of the time.
some of us want to be fully immersed and also get better at the game which i feel bots are a step back in this direction although bots do have there use cases but it should at least be an option to disable, if it means i maybe need to wait longer to queue for a match i don't mind as long as there's no bots. a bot will never be able to imitate a real player no matter how advanced because we all play different or make certain decisions that aren't predictable, it is this unpredictability of other players and learning playstyles is what makes us better at the game and learn better, bots limit this.
