Please allow me to tier 1 items against AI
After playing numerous online matches since December nearly 370 hours of gameplay my level is s81 and have came to the conclusion I can no longer be bothered with online matches I was never really in...

When you play a round with PvP bots (no humans except host and all the default settings Portal provides), earn 100+ kills and 11 captures by yourself yet still lose the match by more than 400+ points, what does this tell you (other than I can't do it all by myself)?
To me this shows that when a match begins one of the teams AI skills are randomly turned down by design in order to give the other team a clear edge...doesn't happen every round but it happens often enough and seems to be by random chance as to which team ends up with the better skilled bots (I believe this what the default skill setting in portal does).
This will often give you a feeling that the matches are kinda canned, regardless of which team wins...I often feel during a random match that either I can do no wrong OR I'd need a large team of humans and endless ammo to win.
Yes, I would welcome either T1 or similar unlocks for those who go above and beyond in Portal, especially if playing alone as it can be work trying to win against the Default skilled bots like that... and much of the time it's clearly impossible.
The reasoning behind the lack of full progression vs A.I. remains a mystery since they are avoiding saying much about it.
This makes me more morbidly curious to know the Whydunit behind all this.

Here's a theory: they already have problems getting full servers given that the game was not a big success. One of the few things that keeps some players populating the official servers is grinding out T1s. I fall into that category (I have all the primaries done and now I'm working (painfully) on the sidearms). If I could T1 them against bots, that would be one more person not filling the real servers.
@DaMutha1this would be fine if I could find a game in any other mode than Conquest. Smaller markets often don't have enough concurrent players to start Breakthrough or Rush. Many times, the official Portal modes are the only way I can get a game.
Oceania, Xbox One, Crossplay on- @DaMutha1
Considering that the change happened near the launch of the game before the bleeding of the players really started, I believe it is more about how the anti cheat may be falsely flagging killing too many bots with full progression in the same way as if they were players
