Bot XP Idea: might keep everyone happy?

Something I was thinking about was, instead of giving full xp for a bot kill on a server full of bots. Make the xp earned dependent on how many bots there are on a server.

For example: the farming servers where there’s 1 human vs 63 AI. Only give 1 or 2 xp per kill. Hell, even put a cap on xp earned from bots per match.

Then when playing on a server that has fill in bots. Make the xp earned increase or decrease depending on how many bots there are on the server. If there’s say 44 humans with 20 bots, make the bot kills give more xp, instead of 1 or 2, give 20-30.

This number could go up or down as more bots are used to fill in of players drop out, or players come in.

Think along the lines of how xp values are calculated in some rpg games or mmos. Hell you could even make bot xp change depending on your player level. The higher your level, the lower the xp gain is per kill.

I understand that not everyone has the time to put in to “git gud” or sometimes people just want to get on and screw around. This might help fill the gap to keep everyone happy.

Instead I noticed today that we’re getting AFK servers that people just sit on and get match xp every 4 minutes. Not sure that’s going to do much for server slots lol.

What are your thoughts? Let’s keep it civil.

  • for me i love playing vs bots, not all bots, but matches that are half and half, half players half bots.
    these matches offer a great dynamic, player vs player fights are hard faught and can often be intense.
    but then their are the bots cannon fodder, that run in with you and get gunned down quickly.
    they act as both cover for your entry and also a quick kill to get your blood flowing.

    its this mix of hard and easy kills that make matches great,
    and because of bots existing you arnt dunking on noobs or casuals as bots dont care if they are instant killed.
    you arent harming anyone playing these matches and these are the matches i love.

    i think limited matches to no more then 1v3 ratio would be fair, so if you are solo you will only have 3 bots in your match.
    you have 4 people you will only have 12 bots, this way solo farming would be reduced, 

    also adding official half bot half player servers would also help as i loved Initiation Breakthrough,
    but then suddenly it disappeared when i hit level 20, i think they should bring it back and add other versions too,
    Initiation Conquest, Initiation Squad Deathmatch, ect.
