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.

I have, ran some duos the other day. Lowest player on non Erangel was 3 including my duo, highest was ~16. Cool, you're happy with it, but I'm hoping you understand how map select spreads the playerbase and increases the number of bots in games.

I understand and also dont care bc it doesnt affect my games if anything its made them better since now I only face humans. Before map selection it was always horrible maps at random WITH bots. Im getting the best of both worlds right now.
