It's been bots the whole time......
So, disclaimer: im an idot, this is a rant because im an idot. Anyways, im at master v rank and have been super active on mechabreak reddit. I've seen all these posts pertaining to people complaining about bots and ive never seemed to notice any. Although every match has been relatively easy it did feel like i was literally the determining factor for every match (not that im good, just objective fact). If i did well, we won, if i did bad, we lost. My team was nearly inconsequential and their contributions have been null, which was definitely odd but most people dont understsnd the game is role-based and not about 1v1ing a tank, so of course i also dismissed the oddities of my matches. You learn to just ignore people complaining on the internet and i disregarded most of the legitimacy on the presence of bots because everyone complained about p2w and that was flat out wrong. So this whole time ive been mindlessly playing mechabreak having a blast, not giving it any real thought. I just found out that on xbx theres a symbol next to the name indicative of the console your playing on, or a bot symbol (very small icon honestly). Which i never noticed. I usually focus on team comps and stats. Turns out most of my lobbies, if not all, were entirely bots....i havent even been playing humans lmao. Now i have no idea of the efficacy of my playstyle as ive literally only battled machines as far as i know. It honestly just feels like i wasted a bunch of time adjusting to the play style of effectively brain dead ai. To all those that said the game is gonna die due to bots, your absolutely right to complain. I know its my fault for being ignorant but i feel absolutely betrayed. Yeah, if they dont fix that, bots will kill this game. Unacceptable.
