Aggressive Bots

I know this has been falling on deaf ears, but hear's to hoping DICE will review and take action.

I enjoy playing Casual. I just find it more appealing to how I want to play and loved that this Casual Breakthrough lobby, had bots in it to help make it fun. Admittedly, the bots were pretty dumb and so farming kills to unlock attachments and complete challenges was good. Probably a little too good until Youtubers started creating bot farms for people to exploit and get massive XP, accolades and level their guns up.

Just before the release of season 2 - there's a noticeable change in the bots. So much so, that they're better than actual human players. Since they are bots - they know exactly where you are ALWAYS and have their sights fixed on you no matter where you are and they shoot with pretty laser focus. The point of this tirade is simply this......

Cant we find a happier middle ground that ups the anty from the dumb bots, but certainly dials down the super-aggro bots? The Casual lobby as I recall used to have half human/ half bot player but it leans towards 8v8 and the rest are bots. Maybe not an issue, but all the bots arent aggro, as they certainly dont push OBJ or wait until humans get to OBJ before they come in. All I'm saying is......can we get better balance? If a bot can head shot me from 154m, then why cant my bots capture or do the same thing? I think ya'll need to dial down the bots. You went from 2 to 10.....hop about 5-6? If you keep making the game not fun and unplayable - more people will leave. It's an easy fix, but only if you care.

    Hey DoggyLipStik​ ,

    I can definitely see why that would be frustrating, especially when Casual Breakthrough is meant to feel a bit more relaxed, yet the bots swing between too easy and overly aggressive.

    I’m not able to confirm exactly what changes may have been made to bot behavior or how matchmaking is currently tuning those lobbies, but feedback like this is really helpful for highlighting where things might not feel quite right from a player perspective.

    I feel that this thread is more general discussion rather than a technical issue, so I've moved it to the correct forum. 

    Thanks!

  • If bots aggression is being calculated based on tryhard players playing casual, then we are doomed, because there are a lot of high rank tryhard players playing on casual. So before we had to deal only with these people, now is them and the bots. Some casual matches are harder and sweatier than normal matches now, in my opinion.

    EA_Kuba​ Two points I would like to raise with you here please.

    "I’m not able to confirm exactly what changes may have been made to bot behaviour or how matchmaking is currently tuning those lobbies," - So, are you going to try and find out what changes were made? By whom? And why?

    "But feedback like this is really helpful for highlighting where things might not feel quite right from a player perspective." - So what are you going to do with this feedback? IE where are you sending it to? And when will we hear anything back?

    Thank you.
