I get if someone leaves it has to, but I have a VERY hard time believing that any match I’ve played is actually 10 humans vs 10 humans. Almost every single match its the same shit, ~5 people on both teams putting up more than ~10 kills. There is just no way these people who sit in a match for 10-15 minutes are actual players putting up a dozen kills. Its consistent every game, on both sides, it just feels like the game is 5v5, and the MM is putting 5 bots on both teams as well.
Are the devs just afraid people are going to throw a shit fit if they have to fight other players? And the match needs canon fodder more than it already has? This is just killing my drive to play, I’m queing BR V and every match its the same shit, 50% of the team is using T1/T2 gear, putting up almost no kills, not doing anything, I find it hard to believe these people made it far enough grinding through up to T3 to come shit up these high tier games, they just have to be bots. And again its not just my team, I look at both sides and its the same thing. IDK how many dumb russian bots with mosins I run into every single match, which shouldnt even be a thing queing up at V as germany.
I’ve always assumed that those are the low end PC players that can’t halp the game running smooth, I would have troubles myself if I was playing with massive fps drops or something
because ahhh, the game isn’t hard, there are bots literally waiting for you to be killed, it’s impossible.
The fact that having ONE random utterly useless BR3 bolt action item puts you in BR5 lobbies is the main joke
The game does not explain it to new players almost at all that “hey, this crap gun will send you to permament shadow realm to be shit on by sweatlords”
Also, now starter weapons unironically suck ass to the point of not being able to even down enemies up close and almost everyone runs +35% extra health…and there are squads with even more extra health squad perks
So new people just stay back, because they simply can’t do anything to enemies they face (not that they can do anything by staying back either…) So they kinda internalise this mentality of just being passive. Plus, you start with a damn sniper squad and no engineers for a LONG while, making them even more predisposed to be useless
If that is the case then the devs really should do something to gatekeep newbies out of the III-V que.
Maybe a hard check on technology tree (need X amount of Tier 3 completed etc.) Or some squad level stuff that would be more complicated. Game has the same problem that WT does at top tier, dumbasses buy a premium tank, spawn in it, have nothing else and after 5 minutes one team is basically a ghost town. In WT its not the end of the world, but when you are in match of enlisted its either leave or be doomed to a shit match for the next 10-15 minutes.
ur second point its pointless basekit hp of a soldier is 10 with the perk reach 13,5… so yeah just learn to aim the game isnt asking for headshots just bodyshots whiout hitting wooden cover
except with perks you are able to literally tank good hits from less than 100m nowadays from some unupgraded bolt actions and not even go down to having to bandage
Germany is just fucking unplayable now, 5 matches in a row we have ~3-4 players at the start then the match starts filling with bots and its a steamroll. Im tired of deserting games. And whenever germany gets a new toy and everyone and the mom is playing germany and rolling americans the game isn’t going to be better for it. I play online games to play against other people not have bot matches. Its 10v10 if the game is so fucking dead the MM cant find 20 players for a match it shouldnt be filling it with bots, the ques should get longer, but I know the devs in this and WT would rather strangle a family member than have long que times so here we are.
If the game is just going to be about easy games farming AI so you can get a dopamine hit from unlocking a new weapon or vehicle than fuck it, theres actual games to play besides this. I’ll be back for steam launch to see if the MM is better but right now the game is unplayable as germany, and im not playing this to farm AI as whatever faction is dominating.
If you wonder whether someone is a bot or a player then go here https://enlisted.net/en/replays/#!/ and type the name of the player. Bots play 24/7 with only a few hours between matches.
Devs probably use bots to make queues shorter, which is ridiculous. I think most people agree that it’s better to wait much longer and play with people than to have bots with few kills in the whole match…
It made somewhat sense when you could choose the campaign to play (players weren’t spread equally), but right now you get auto-search anyway. I doubt so few people play it to be forced to use bots…
When you play on the defending side you don’t care cuz you can still carry your team and the bots can be a distracter, but when you attack and have in your team 3 bots going 8-15 then that’s a damn problem. You could win a lot of those matches 7v10 easily if not those spot-filling bots losing all enforcement…
you can check if players were bots in your match. just see if userid=0.
out of last 25 games, most of them start with team full of human players. you had 2 matches with ~40 human players+ ~10 bots and i would attribute that to some server problem (unless it managed to catch custom games which it shouldnt).
if people desert after match started, they are usually replaced by bots (sometimes at start of the match they can be replaced by another human).
also sad fact is that some players are just worse than bots and they are not rare.
