>>47702289I hit expert ranked one just now and I have not fought bots for all of great rank 3-4. Not even when I lose, but I also had a few victory streaks. That said, I fought bots a lot up until then, typically following a loss. I think the game throws bots at you if you lose multiple games in a row or something. Somebody post if you've seen bots in veteran, ultra, or even master.
>>47702313No, there are 100% bots in this game. When you see the signs in the pre-match and post-match they are substantiated by the actual gameplay of your opponents in the match. They all (and I really mean all) play the exact same way:
>only does normal movement towards you. never uses abilities like Lucario or Zeraora's dash for movement purposes like getting the sitrus berries or escaping>at low HP always starts walking away even if it makes absolutely no sense to do so. does not have any escape strategy beyond that>getting in the grass lets you escape them all the time whereas human players frequently attack grass they saw someone escape into to get a kill>surrender around the 5 minute mark 100% of the time. they are probably programmed to surrender if they are getting beat, which they always do at any rank, even beginner
