Bot Royale Evolved

I am a bit dissapointed.

Currently, this mode does not provide anything for new players to learn. Previously, one had the opportunity to experiment with different weapons and explore the map. Now, your team mates just wipe all bots and it's all over. Res and respawning team mates does not even apply anymore. I played a few rounds and the play time was even shorter then before. Might as well start with ring stage 2.

What is the challenge here exactly? I would consider more of a challenge if all the bots would exclusively target me, rather then each other. As a matter of fact, please do (very hard option).

Nevermind the (squad) bots running blindly toward the ring, even after respawning. At least it did provide a solo, no pressure gameplay for casuals like me.

A "no fill" option would suffice.

By the way, I can't imagine a ranked sweaty player playing Bot Royale to chill after a grind. Isn't there Mix Tape for? Show off your badges and kill count (to bots)? I know I would (Mix Tape, that is).

I know that Respawn usually makes changes and adjustments shortly after the seasonal update, so I hope this will be among them.

Due to being the anniversary season with Mythic Shards as reward (which I prefer, because then I can choose whitch one to select), got me a bit itching. But now, i don't know. Already been crushed by ASE Aquatica anniversary fiasco, so not eager for an another taste.

Does anyone agree or am I not making any sense here?

    Installed Farlight 84, there's a Bot Training mode, full BR, only bots and account progression.

    It's an Apex clone, with around 1k players. Funny, people there are complaining about too much bots. They should come to Apex then. Less players there, more bots there.

    And that is slowly but surely what bots is turning into: the next type 1 feeding ground. I remember getting a few good months out of wildcard before they discovered it. Now in bots they're turning up once in a while. By next season that's all it will be: four squads of hard stuck diamonds, one squad with me and two scrubs who go down on every engagement, and fifteen bot squads, half of which can't even seem to make it to the next circle. Right now I'm quitting every third or fourth match on account of the live players. If that number goes much higher then I guess it's off to Marathon???

    Bot Royale should remain as it was initially with only 1 real team and all enemy squads being bots. 
    For true noobs, it’s not fair for them to get rolled by random TTV three stacks in a bot mode intended to be an introduction to the game. For myself, i play the mode to have a break from real players, to recharge, or to regain confidence after getting repeatedly rolled as a solo q rank player. If i were wanting to fight three stack sweats, i’d be playing ranked, which i usually do. In addition, players should be able to select ‘no fill’, if they prefer. I’ve noticed some people split off, maybe wanting to go for a pb kill or damage count game without competing against their teammates.  that was a nice feature of the initial bot mode when players were the only real player. thanks!

    mythofinanna​ I didn't like that they changed it either as it went from "Bot" Royal to pubs and it now takes 3-5 business years to find a match.

    Oddly, it seems like the bots are now all over Gundam Wildcard too. I can't tell if these are EA Bots to make sure Wildcard happens in this low-population high-churn part of the game lifecycle, or people scripting bots to grind levels/battlepass skins poorly, but they are bots. 

    No way someone would charge to a spot past me, not shoot me, wait until I shot them, then barely shoot back, as soon as they respawn come right back and repeat. I killed the same one 8 times. No way one person is THAT bad. 

    At least makes it easy to grind out damage dailies.

    Farlight84 is awesome, installed it after I saw your reply.  I've found it to be lots of fun, it has a cool buddy mechanic and a warm up area while you're waiting for your actual game to start and all the bots you could want but I've found the levelling to be pretty good on the human games too.
