Fairness

Allowing live enemies into bot royale was a HUGE mistake. Which I hope they reverse.

But even if they did reverse course on that point... I'm not sure it would help you. Bots are not live enemies and you can figure out very quickly how to beat them almost every time... and it won't help you a lick when you get back to trios or ranked. Partly because of the terrible matchmaking, but also because there are so few players in this game anymore who play on a primary. If your live opponents are not actual cheaters then they are at best a very good player hiding behind a secondary account so they can wipe lobbies well below their own skill level.

I would say that the only real solution after seven years is to wrap it up here and go play another game, but they're all garbage now. If cheaters don't ruin a game then smurfs will. Any game. Anywhere. Any time.

I understand, and I fully agree with you. I actually don't mind have real players in there, I just wish they would not let extremely high level players in with us. Like give them there own lobby. I need the real game situation in order to improve. But it's very difficult to improve when you don't even have a chance against high level players. That's what's makes it frustrating. I know it's difficult and I don't usually complain, but the past few days especially has been blatant that there are either cheaters or platinum players bc they are wearing their badges in the game. I feel kdr is a good way bc if they keep running thru killing everyone it will be much higher than casual players. 

Recon just said it best.... not much else to say. 

"I feel kdr is a good way bc if they keep running thru killing everyone it will be much higher than casual players."

Not to always be that guy, but k/d can be manipulated. And it doesn't matter whether it is or not because a player on a secondary will play until the secondary starts to require real work, and then he'll just start another one. Because they're free and unlimited and there is nothing that can force a good player to play in his own bracket if he doesn't want to. And none of them want to. Pros at ALGS. No one else, and not even the pros if they're not on camera. It's a sewer and Respawn/EA created it and they're not lifting a finger to repair the damage. They never will because every new secondary artificially inflates their player counts. Or maybe there's some other reason I don't know about, but there IS a reason and a good one and it probably involves money or else they'd have put a stop to it long ago.

totally agree. I usually like to run through the lobby without my team, but its because I play the mode to do weeklies quickly or learn a new legend. It worked perfectly when it was just me and 2 bot teammates but now i'm forced into whats basically pubs with some bot teams...its not good for anyone. And I'm only a plat player, and these lobbies are full of masters, its rediculous
