Bot Royale mode is a joke.

I was kind of excited to see what I thought was a full BR practice mode to unwind/warm up in when I'm not doing well in standard/competitive. Instead I get a buggy mess of a partial battle royale on ...

I didn't have the kinds of problems you describe.

My problem is that the bots are slower than any player I have encountered. I have also seen "basic AI" movement, such as one bot circling as he tried to reach another's banner that was directly above him. It didn't know how to go up a ramp. Or the first time I dropped, one of my bots got stuck on a mountain and didn't move, died in the storm, then I could spawn it.

They call it AI, but it is SI (scripted intelligence). With true AI, it should get better with time. Then it will be ready for the main playlists.

@jokool_aid  , I believe they mentioned it was to complement the firing range, so I believe you are correct.

    @MrGreenWithAGun I've played my second match of Bot Royal today, and both bots landed in lava and stood there while taking damage. I didn't notice they were in lava until I heard them both repairing shields at the exact same time.

    The lava had knocked both of them and they crawled out of it and I had revived them. I had a Fuse and a Bangalore bot. Fuse, then went up a zipline and stood at the top of it, while Bangalore ran in circles around the base of the zipline about 9 times before they went up it.

    As many have pointed out before, the firing range bots are way smarter than this. Although, those bots don't use ziplines. They only run, shoot, open doors, and sometimes get stuck in doorways.
