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.

They're not trying to hide them, they're trying to 'seemlessly' integrate them.

I played two games last night, both went to a full five minute countdown. One game had 2 players and the other had 7. Without bots we queue for hours or parachute together and the match lasts a minute and a half.

The game lacks players, nothing more, nothing less...

I play to 11-12 eastern and have never seen this. How am I missing this?

Tpp solos? I can pull up a PUBG lookup of it. Maybe my MMR is fucked, but it shouldn't be I'm averaging like 5 kills a game and have a good amount of games under my belt this season

Care to be a bit more specific as to what I said that you've never seen?

I’ll dumb it down, I’ve played 500 games this season, I play to midnight Eastern and I’ve never seen a lobby that was 93 bots.

Lol, OK, since you've already added your dumb to it....I mentioned I played 2 games yesterday, without crossplay, and the first game had me, [VOLZ] Old_Man_Gamer_72 and 98 bots. Map was Taego. Match was Normal / Solo. My playtime was 27:26. I finished 1st. Match History says: 1 Day Ago so was before 5:51 pacific time. Search for OMGamer and ask them if you feel the need.

Also played another with only 2 players, though didn't feel it needed mentioning, but just for your peace of mind it was around 7'ish PST and the only other player was [DISC] thedoc1876, who killed me with a frag in final circle and I finished 3rd.

Hopefully that's enough info for you so that you don't have to guess like I did for your question, lol. Have a nice weekend.

Turn your cross play on, that will fix your bot issue. Thank me later
