Atm many games are just filled with bots.
But you dont know if they are bots or just utterly garbage players.
So the people who wants to win, they get frustrated and write angry things in chat, to try and talk to the stupid players… that are doing terrible things.
But if one knew that ones teamates where/are bots, then people would understand there is no point in trying to talk some sence into Ai/bots.
So please… in TAB, display who are bots and who are not bots, it would make it less frustrating to see players performe like garbage.

On console this is already possible
if you check the score board before first spawns then only real players shows up
So you suggest praying everyone gets in before game starts, press TAB, and memorize the names of all the players.
And do you think a “rage” person thinks of this start of battle,… No he does not, he rages when he is pissed, and he does not plan ahead to rage.
Also often people join late, and replace bots, and if they joined late then cleary their name would not have shown up at start of game. So once again you do not know if the new name is a bot or a player that joined late.
Clearly, this is not in any way a good answer to the problem I mentioned.
But I have my guesses that game devolopers dont want to show how many players are bots…

what difference is it going to make? Are you going to quit 3 games in role because its 90% ai? I doubt it. We already know some games are like 2 to 4 real players and the rest are AI. There should be a filter that allows you to join game lists where the setting is 100% real, 85% etc, and you go play another game while waiting, it the real player game started without you , and someone quit you should be able to join the active game. Back in the day we set ping filters and only joined games with ping up to whatever our max was. For sure a lot of improvement is needed for a better game selection system

And how are you supposed to remember 16+ names, assuming you get into the match at the very, very start? 
Honestly whe should instead have “wait for lobby without bots” option, I’m ready to wait 5-10 minutes instead of a frustrating game with bots.
But Keo even said they are planning to make bot squads spawn on player-created rally points, thus making them ‘look more human’, which is the opposite direction, unfortunately.

They know this would cause more deserters, even people leaving the game when they realize no one actually play this.
It’s not a accident they hide who is bot, it’s by design.
So it won’t change if other design choices are changed that make people not want to play this game.
