I get why they would think removing bot kills from your stats would be a good idea... but it isn't. It's a terrible idea and a short sighted one, given that they allow bot caused deaths to count.
Can't have your cake and eat it too, EA. I play casual because I'm older than the average gamer and getting killed by a bunch of sweaty kids with twitch reflexes makes the game not as enjoyable. If you don't want my stats to be elevated by playing in a more casual mode, FINE, but don't PUNISH me by making the deaths I suffered at the bots hands count. I played more aggressively in bot games, because I know that even if I died a little more, I can still mow down waves of bots and have fun.
Now, all those deaths have been wiped away, but all the extra times I died playing more aggressively have come back to haunt me. If the bot kills mean nothing, then bot deaths should have the same weight; none. And I'm pretty sure the system is broken, because I played a game and had over 30 kills with no deaths and my KDR went DOWN.
Stop breaking things in the name of "justice." The game is less fun when you punish people for playing casual modes.
