"Bot is an algorithm, not a replay."
Well, I was thinking...
Actually we don't need internet connection during Battlez games. We just need it at the beginning to find an opponent and at the end, but not during the game itself.
If it was a replay, it would make sense, just like when you are playing against a ghost replay on another game.The replay data would be transmit to our device at the beginning, and then you could pause, go faster, would not be a problem, etc.
But if it is just an algorithm, then that mean that in the ~5/10 seconds used to find an opponent, the algorithm has the time to do all the plants setup, all the Battlez game, and transmit all of this this to our device ? I'm not an expert but it seems less credible somehow...
Edit: Or maybe the matches are already done and transmit before you hit the Play button, would make more sense.
