Reminder this game puts you vs bots to make you feel good about winning. Literally everyone has postive win rate for a reason.
>How to tell you're vs bots. All zoomed in profiles like pic related
Any time you enter a bush they just walk back instantly, general dumb bot shit.
>After a matchDuring the result screen, you can click on a player to send friend requests, report them, or a variety of other options. Clicking on a bot does not give you the dialogue box that includes all those options.
>How often do bot matches appear?Bot matches (5 real players on your side versus 5 bots) are a part of every match type - including Ranked Matches. If you are playing solo, you will be up against bots after some amount of losses(not enough data to know). Also, your very first Ranked Match will be ALL bots, including your teammates.
