Bots... they have no place in pubs.
Bot Royale as its own mode is fine, bo issue here. If new players want to learn against bots, that’s exactly where it should be.
But bots being added into casuals (trios, duos, wildcard) isn’t okay. This is where the game loses hardcore players.
It lowers the skill requirement, feeds free kills, and creates a false sense of confidence. You push a “team” thinking it’s real, then get rolled by actual players. That’s not a good experience, it just messes with how people read fights
Apex is one of the few games left where the skill ceiling actually matters. You improve by playing and learning. Adding bots into normal modes takes away from that. there is a reason i dont play a certain other BR anymore.
Kills mean less, damage means less, badges mean less, because part of it is against AI. Wildcard already diminished kill and damage badges but I digress.
Keep bots in Bot Royale. Keep normal modes player vs player. This will make or break the game for me.
