Bot Players
From my own observations, a lot of the "teammates" I get are just bots. They do next to nothing when they're on my team and then the game would reuse those same bots as enemies and they would actuall...

Just had a match where the matchmaking felt somewhat skill based. It did seem like my team was a higher ELO than the other teams, although the last team did put up a bit of a challenge. My team ended up winning that match. But then the match right afterwards, I was put onto a team with two players who were my randoms 3 days ago around 10 AM CST, (its almost 3 AM CST right now), both played like bots and died right after landing. (One ran and tried to punch out a player with a gun like how the firing range dummies do when you're right next to them, while the other just stood there and started walking in random directions.
Worst part was this is in ranked, I lost 34 points, and was the champion on the champion squad, where we placed #17. If these were somehow players, they need to be put back into the rookie rank and play against a full lobby of bots for more than 10 matches, (yes, they are that bad at the game).
Switched servers from a US one to a Japan one, sure I'm lagging more, but I'm barely seeing any kinds of smurphs, cheaters, and even bots. While I am playing at 3-4pm, that makes it 5-6am for the Japan server, I'm sure a lot aren't on, but says a lot to see this drastic of a change in the matchmaking from smurphs, cheaters, and bots, to actual fair matches.
Edited: The moment you win a match on a different server, the game thinks you can 1v3 players that aim better than a pro in the ALGS, like how are these aimbotters not detectable? They literally snap and lock onto other players, and the anti-cheat just goes: "yeah, that's normal", when its not.
Also for the past 18 hours, the game has allowed multiple smurphs and cheaters farm kills in rank, ruining countless matches for countless players. Its just... wow. I've been going between Gold I and Gold II, because everytime I hit Gold I, I get swarmed by non-stop cheaters, diamond+ players boosting their friends, and smurphs. Its insane how broken the matchmaking is and no wonder why people have been saying "dead game".
