It should have been a long time ago.
Because there are players like me who never dezert.
However, games in which you play with 1-2 players against 7-10 are terrifying, after which there is a complete aversion to the game.
I don’t think I’m the only one, so any normal bonus in such a situation can ease the pain. (+5% to experience for any missing player in relation to the enemy)
P.S. If you think that by doing this, new players will find that there are bots-players in the game, then there will be nothing terrible about it, because anyone understands this after a couple of dozen games.
