Is there a good way to confirm the bot type, or could it be possible to add it? I've been suspiscious of a good number of players being intentional bots lately, espescially playing with friends on NA servers (only done ranked on local EU this season iirc).
While I think we were above the skill level for them, the matchmaking window was VERY VERY wide when this happened, and it makes me wonder if it could be something with low/high level players queuing together or some other factor?
This is a picture of an example distribution, I'm sure time of day could definitely play a factor in this too
Ofcourse I don't know behind the scenes, but they felt almost like the bot royale bots as opposed to more primative ones, but it feels really unsatisfying when expecting real people.

Time of day and the particular server could definitely be a factor, especially if it's taking a bit longer to put a lobby together and matchmaking needs to widen the range of players.
In Bot Royale you'll notice the names are AwesomelyAlliterative and CreativelyConsistent in their naming patterns. That could be one indication, though I can't say for sure whether that's always going to be the case for bots used in those lower-skill unranked lobbies mentioned earlier - not to mention there are more than likely some actual players using that type of naming convention as well once you venture out into pubs. Definitely solid feedback as far as making that more apparent, however! 👍
