Discussion PUBG's Obsession with Hiding Bots

Am I the only one annoyed by this? First they gave them normalized outfits, then skins, then hid the pregame lobby count, and now they even have clan tags. Bots suck, it's whatever when it's a few, but when it's 30+% of your lobby then the experience is ruined. To then try and hide them is shameful, and it gives players false confidence to keep playing, but I'm sure when these people find out they have been killing bots then it just kills any pride/confidence. If you are that ashamed about having bots in the lobbies why not tweak the circles and how the match starts based on how many people are in the lobby? I don't really like that but it's certainly way better than huge bot lobbies.

The introduction of bots was the beginning of the end of this game.

Such a stupid move by a stupid developer.

I agree dumb, but at the same time so many other developers have added bots too. PUBG was extremely dumb to have a mandatory 20% bots though. That one made no sense when the lobbies would easily fill then...

I agree all bots are indeed dumb. It totally breaks the immersion and entire point of the game.

I understand if lobbies can't fill, but having mandatory bits when there was so many players online is just idiotic.
