Re: Add bots to private match

I think this wouldn't be too bad of a thing, though if this ever becomes a thing, it'll still be likely that the current player requirement to start a private match will stay. (For BR currently 30 players minimum)

So a decent chunk of the lobby would still be filled with normal players, which shouldn't be a gigantic problem.

Though the question now is most likely: "Why not get rid of the player requirement or make bots count to this number?" 

From what I've understood, the current player limit was put into place to make efficient use of available server space.

If a single player would take up an entire server then it would cause some problems, as 100 single player servers take up more space than 1 server with 100 players.

Even if it were to be filled with bots, the server wouldn't have that many normal players, which I believe is the point.

So if we are able to add bots to private matches, we'll still most likely require the standard player minimum to be met.

Though at the very least, new players play in orientation matches for their first 5-10ish matches, which are mostly filled with bots.

This should help them getting a feel for the game at the start, which I personally believe already helps a decent chunk.
