Why did popcap think bots were a good idea?
Popcap please get rid of the aimbots. It would be ten times more fun to 4v4 than to fight 8 bots that require no skills or tactics to beat. Its really unfun and requires no thinking to fight this pat...

I hate it when they taunt after vanquishing me.
Please remove them from PvP, Popcap.

At least it’s Al, not players, doing it, and it gives your allies easy vanquishes on your taunting Al enemies. By the way, I wonder if the addition of Private Play will remove bots from PvP? I somewhat hope so. Cause currently, PvP is a mix of playing, well PvP and Battle Chests.
Can only repeat that I hate bots in Team Vanquish. Used to be my favourite mode but not fun anymore when killing AI half the time. I only can bear Turf now with bots.
Bots also don't respond well to special modes. In a game of Suburban Isolation our three AI team mates where hanging around A when C was active. They may as well not be in the team.
How about a matchmaking option "allow bots"? This would please everyone:
If you have it switched on and it takes too long to find a game you'll be put in one with bots and other available players.
If you have it switched off the game will wait until you have more real players, as you have signalled you prefer to wait longer.
In both cases, on or off, if there are enough active players everyone will be put in together with no bots.
@34975634954957The reason bots are here is because the gamemodes were empty or dying (when was the last time you actually played a full human lobby?) and trying to separate the two would make matchmaking even longer, so unless you got thousands of new players to join the game over the next few months it looks like bots are here to stay.
Though I do agree that their pathfinding is pretty crap as I see them get stuck pretty often.

Yeah you are right that is the root of the problem. I guess if handled better it wouldn't be dying on some platforms to begin with.
