[Feature] Add option to queue for human-only games. (Player-only-queue)

12 votes

Bots sort of kill the enjoyment. Many of my games start with 15-20 bots, sometimes more! I've watched them run around my base aimlessly while there isn't a single enemy on our side of the map.

I would wait in queue longer to play with only humans.

Bots ruin PvP games, I'd rather do a 15v15 with real players than a 20v20 with 10 bots.
I know the map is thought with the intent of 40 players, and reducing the number of players can reduce the balance, maybe make it so player get a request before joining after a certain threshold:

"You've been waiting for X minutes (to determine), would you be willing to join a game with fewer players on both sides?"

If you ever come up with Squad battles (4v4 or 8v8), maybe prompt the player with a:

"Would you like to join a 4v4 battle instead?"

Those problems are obviously beta problems that will be set with a higher playerbase, but I've seen games get ruined with bots and I'd rather stop playing and come back at a better time than play with stupid bots.

Thanks for reading.

There just shouldn't be any bots in the game unless a player drops.

I personally agree with this if and or when better in-gam comms are implemented, what are we supposed to tell bots when they stand in a corner passively spamming left-click as a mage? sending orders towards bots benefits no one as well aside from the satisfaction of the commander themselves knowing they at least are TRYING to do their role.

The game feels too dull when the majority of both teams are bots including 5-army battles...it should feel more alive, with players pulling off silly to game-winning decisions, instead, we see bots lulling around the mid-lane.

Only replace player with bot if player leave.
Current match-making can gather 35+ players within seconds, waiting for another 30 seconds for the last few players hurts nothing, but filling slots with bots hurt a 15 minutes game experience.
