Bots in the game?

I am playing the game on Ultra Settings at 1080p over 60fps at all times on a 20ms ping connection with 35mbps down and 15mbps up.

I was just in a match where I ended not seeing any enemies for the entire match,  then at the very end it was just my squad and 2 others remaining.  I am staring straight at a hill with no enemies there and right in front of my eyes a full squad of 3 spawned in out of no where right where I was looking and almost instantly melted me.  

Am I playing against bots just being spawned in at my location to make it look like its random players and the system glitched or what?

It wasn't bad enough it seems to take me twice as many shots on target to drop somebody and then even more to finish them off when on the ground without even a knockdown shield active,  while I get melted from 1 shot to the foot and get one shotted through my knockdown shield,  now I am seeing a whole squad of 3 spawn in out of nowhere right before my eyes?

    that i have never expierenced. sounds very weird, can it be some latency lag?

    although every now and then i feel like when i jump of ship. noone is visual around me noone visual lands before you on the same spot.

    then just out of nowhere someone is infront of me looting the weapon im running towards and BAM! xD

    Not having anything near your level. But occasionally I encounter games that have like 8-13 squads right at the start. Sometimes my squadmates just quit immediately before drop (I became very suspicious since all their names are just random strings of numbers and letters and they spam their Chinese QQ contacts in chat in the picking phase). And every time that happens there's guarantee to be a squad with a cheater.
    By now I'm pretty sure that someone is intentionally flooding the server with bot accounts to artificially lower the number of players for faster matches (Easier for boosters to farm levels). I'll even link a video but be careful it's loud:

    in a lobby of 60 players, they could be from anywhere .  you have good net but maybe some dont have . so if there is anyone has very SH!ty net , then you probably see someone moving like skipping or stuttering like. happens to me when i switched to asian server. everyone there seems like flying or ghosts.
