Bots in Fortnite are no secret but it really has gotten bad, huh? I remember trying the game out some years ago, was annoyed by the obvious bots in my games and never touched it again after one session. Things must've gotten more downhill since.
Funny thing is, even if your skills were in the bracket for more human weighted matches, you’d not have hit them in your first few sessions. The first few matches are always 100% bots to give you a feeling for the game without the rick of being steam rolled by humans.
There’s also the problem of matches being 100 people and not starting until it hits about that number. Imagine the fun of sitting and waiting for 10 minutes for people to hop on.
I never even played fortnite, but i watched some videos on it, and it's pretty weird. I can just assume it's for children who don't care because they don't know and actually have a chance playing and winning. Marvel rivals put you in pity matches after you lost a game or two and it's ridiculous. It's just a waste of time. But even if the bots are so obvious, there are still teammates that go: let's go guys, we got this. They have a combined 3 kills and we have like 30 each. There is no reason playing this.
I played around the launch and didn't realize there were bots (outside of pve)...
But I also assumed I was shooting a bunch of kids that barely understood the controls.
Iam a man who works all day. After work I have about 1-2 hours to relax. I spend this time playing fortnite with my friends. We all talk, have some easy fun, no need to stress like in cs-go or valorant. Wait time is so fast and we dont care about the bots so much because at the end all the bots are dead and real players are remaining. We can stop playing any time we want not like legue of legends where if you quit in the midle of the match you get a penalty. The game is free so if I delete it and move on to play something else, I will not be bothered like if I would’ve bought the game.
It's for children and manchildren.
