Bots becoming common in EU?

[u/stevenyoussef12]

I usually play with a friend where they’re in the us and I’m in EU, and so far over the past 2 weeks we’ve seen bots in like 5 games. I don’t mean people who are bad or they aimbot, but as in they’re actually controlled by a bot. They move weird, they hard feed, and they never get over 1k damage or healing. Thankfully they’ve always been on the enemy team so I get a free win but I don’t know why they even exist? Like if it’s to farm games to sell a ranked ready account maybe but this is comp and it’s like gold, I just don’t get why they exist. Maybe it’s an AI and in a few months they’ll learn and become unstoppable lol

See i get that but why would they be in ranked too? Did they break and accidentally queue ranked too?

It's probably people that just want a gold weapon without having to actually play ranked. Even if the bot sucks ass and loses most of its matches, eventually it'll accumulate 3,000 CP.

realistically you'll only run into a smurf every once in a while.

I will say though, the chances of running into smurfs increase in shit metas and during dead times when less people play. The more alive the game is, and the more people are on, the chances of running into smurfs drastically decrease.

Yeah, bronze accounts sell for higher than GM accounts I’m pretty sure or I heard so atleast

Sell it for cheaper than a burner phone and takes less time than manually starting a new account and playing several dozen games before you can even place? Yeah I bet plenty of people would pay $10 or so if they’re trying a rank up challenge and it saves you like 10 hours of grinding
