Bots (AI) are the worst thing they ever added to online PvP.

This is a joke, this takes me back to spoting icons once again, sneaky gameplay and escape abilities don't work against them, small characters like Imp or Night Cap get destroyed by them. And they in...

There are more ai bots than real players and there destroying everyone.  They make podium all the time at the end of a round

It is indeed horrible for gameplay. They can detect stealthy/flanking players even if it's not in their Line of Sight (LoS). And they're basically just free kills most of the times.

    I don't mind the AI, but they do need to nerf their ability to automatically spot you, even if you're not in their line of sight.  I do have to admit, they do have their good points:

    • Much more apt to revive team members
    • Sunflowers & Scientists actually heal teammates
    • Don't chase you all around the map because you vanquished them and hurt their feelings.  I'm referring to Suburbination & Gnome Bomb where vanquishes aren't the main objective.

    It appears that AI vanquishes don't register in your stats?  Does anyone know if that's the case?

      A.I. are one of the worst things added here’s how they can be fixed.

      • Make it so they don’t have aimbot, it’s hard for players to sneak around and makes it harder playing as smaller characters and drones
      • Give the same amount of xp for defeating a player
      • Only add A.I. if the teams are unbalanced, not missing a few players. For example, if it’s a 9v5, four A.I. should be added to the team lacking players and if it turns into a 8v5 with players, remove one A.I.. This is to keep teams balanced and not fill all missing spots
      • I saw a YouTubermake a good point. It’s not necessary, but maybe give some A.I. costumes so they aren’t obviously bots..

      I hope the devs see this.

        @agqwpe663oe6 Agreed. But the biggest problem is how the lobbies are now spawned. It constantly creates new lobbies. Full of AI. It takes just few ppl to go into game AI fills rest so they dont have to wait and game begins and you have tons of lobbies just like that. And if the game is mid/late it wont search for current lobbies but will create a new one with couple of ppl again. Thats wrong. There was no lack of players at least on consoles theyre just scattered across lobbies with AI, this can be fixed. And AI really should only sub for quitters and uneven teams to balance out the games not spawn games with 4 real ppl and 12 AI. AI should be here as little help to make the game better not mess it up even more which it did.
