Do I play with Bots?
I just finished a game in ranked in which my one teammate was a defensive character. The character put up zero fences and responded to nothing I suggested. The character did not pick up a level 2 b...

@PatrickWSwayze it's odd that you mention a level 2 bs as a squaddie didnt pick up 2 separately pinged blue bs today and had an very odd way of playing, much like a hare in the headlights as mentioned above.
@DarthValtrex what do posters here mean when they talk of bot lobbies?
- @OldTreeCreeper bot lobbies = Low skill lobbies. They think the low skill lobbies are full of bots. Bots being a computer that have some basic game movement and play but that’s it. Sort of like the dummies in the firing range.
I don’t think they have bots in low skill lobbies. It’s just kids or new players. I’ve seen noobs who an experienced player would write off as a bot, especially when they have no mic. But the player is just overwhelmed with pinged loot and loot in general. So they either ignore pinged loot or don’t know what to listen for. They also often have really bad movement, walk around in the open, not rotate the map in a smart way and so on. I was guilty of this when I started.
I also did other bone head things. Revive a downed teammate, hit my bloodhound ult and rush a full squad solo before they could even heal. I had no idea what I was doing.@DarthValtrex lol I still do bonehead things.
I main as Wraith so much that when forced to play my 2nd or 3rd pick, Octane or Path, in a tight melee spot I'll expect them to enter the void when using their ult and be surprised, then dead when they dont! 😃
- @OldTreeCreeper Oh I've done that and worse.. Go to jump into the void and start throwing down fences in the middle of a field. I play Bang a lot as well, so the void/smoke are some what similar in that they allow for an exit. I'll be running out of the storm and launch a smoke bomb alerting everyone in the area that we just got out of the storm!
If I've been playing bloodhound a lot switch over to wraith.. Go to scan and waste my tactical looking at the wall of a building. Go to scan and launch smoke into the wall.. Go to activate the hunt and start throwing down a portal. woops.
- @OldTreeCreeper If someone bypasses a blue shield they are likely running an evo shield but you cannot tell because the game shows you they have two white bars instead of one.
@hayhor Yeah this confuses with my duo partner a lot. We'll be several minutes into a game and i see a white shield on him, so i question him and he says it's evo.
I then ask the question of why he's still running an evo if we haven't seen any enemies by that point. XD
- @MandatoryIDtag I have bumped an evo from white to red when it was just top 5. It’s situational and not terribly hard to push it up to purple. I base it off of where final ring will be and our positioning. If I have a sniper or solid mid range and can get into a position to dish out damage. I keep it. Sometimes it works out, other times not so much. It only becomes an issue if we bump into another squad in a CQC situation.
- @hayhor It shows the correct one if you go to the inventory.
- @BaldWraithSimp Yes I know but who does that? You shouldnt have to.
@hayhor player in question had no bs on at all?!?!?!? Maby they had the much sought after invisible diamond evo on? 😃
