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 Oh man the stupid things I've done thinking I'm one character 😂
