    Are Bots getting an update? And what about penalty for quitting a game?

    Hello,

    Since some time ago, I find Bots to be ignored by the development team. Update after update happens, and still I don't see a change in bots that replace players who quit mid-game in any gamemode.

    We know that there are 3 levels of bots. 1, 2 and 3. Level 2 bots are the ones who replace players mid-game, and level 3 bots are the ones you get when you play a mode against the AI. I don't know about you guys, but levels 3 bots are hard enough to fight, which is good since i'm sure it's a way to prevent the abuse of getting event rewards or order too easily in custom games. However, level 2 bots are too easy to beat. And the problem with this is that these are the bots we get to find the most.

    To get to the point: Ubisoft should make level 2 bots a tad bit stronger so as to prevent a team who lose 1 or 2 players from being too disadvantaged. Maybe Dominion or Duel it's not that much of a trouble, but in Breach, where matches can go as long as 30 minutes, it can be frustrating if you get a Bot and the enemy team is good enough.

    The other thing I wanted to point out is why does quitting a game does not penalize a player? I quitted a game in Breach by turning the game off (ps4) and when i got into the game again, I did not get the 15 minutes penalty... why? There should be a penalty for quitting a game.

    That's what i wanted to say. I really hope a forum staff look into this and get the word to the team in charge of game balancing. Thanks.

    Correction on that part, the lv on the bots in vs AI depends on how you do in pvp before you join a vs AI game.
    Im rep 200+ on console, played 0 pvp matches and allways fighting agasint lv1 bots in vs AI, any mode.

    A proper place to start to update the bots is to let us choose, as part of the mm, what lv of bots we want to face!

    There's also some discrepancy with the bots and certain heroes. With Raider, for example, I can hit a lvl3 bot with unblockables forever until it dies. If I play another hero, like Shaolin, the bots tend to always dodge and parry everything I do.

    Lvl2 bots are just too weak and always do stupid crap.

    @Frozty85 @MCBooma16 the two of you are right. Either they make AI as strong as the average rep of all the players present in the game, or just make the lvl 2 ai ( which is the ai that appears when replacing a quitting/disconnected player ), stronger.

    Also, penalize properly the players who quit a match.

    There is still the quit early penalty but it only happens when you actually quit the game through the start menu. If you turn off or load another game you will not get penalized for it. The reason being is because this trash servers constantly disconnects people from the game. You might think players are quitting but usually they are getting lagged off. Until the get the servers fixed which is high doubtful its not fair to players to get penalized for getting disconnected from the game.
