where did the bots go?
Did I misunderstand something, or did Dice decide to take away the fun from people who were just relaxing in the game?🤔

This makes me sad. The game for the first 2 weeks or so was really fun with a revolving list of playable servers in Portal. I haven't been able to play in Official servers due to the time nudge issue ruining my experience, but the 30 Hz tick rate in the Portal servers solved that problem. But now there are hardly any normal servers for Conquest or Breakthrough. It's all either completely empty servers, servers with Modified XP, or Hardcore Conquest servers which I don't always want to play. To play vanilla Conquest or Breakthrough now, I have to just deal with rubber-banding and desync every 10 seconds. It sucks. It was nice when you could join a server with a bot backfill, and slowly over time the server would fill up with real players. This sucks.
I agree with you, I also have a big Ping on the servers sometimes, from 80 to 170, and there are occasional disconnections, even though I play portal with bots just to relax. I understand the internet problem, so I think that bringing the bots back would solve many of the issues. However, Dice wants their game to be filled with code players, so ordinary workers don't have to pump their weapons in battles with bots.
