bots backfilling in slayer matches is a NET DETRIMENT to the team. its better to not have them entirely. its insulting that these bots are at recruit difficulty too, they should be ODST at minimum. it’s a joke.

Agreed. At the very least they need to backfill with the highest bot skill level currently available, spartan, it seems like they are backfilling with marine tier bots currently, which is 2 down from spartan.

Yeah they need to bump up the bot skill level. Adding them at this level makes no sense. I have never seen one get more than a single kill. But always double digit deaths.
That or they should dynamically change difficulty based on the skill of your opponents combined. Would definitely like them to be more challenging in public games.

Funnily enough, I had a bot on my team actually carry the flag I dropped halfway to the base on Behemoth and helped score it against a super sweaty team.
Beyond that though, it was completely useless. The bot difficulty should be based on the overall MMR of the match.

I didn’t even think they could grab objectives 
. That’s pretty cool. I wonder if they would do the same in oddball
I would pray to the Forerunners they would never grab the Oddball.
They will play the objective in Strongholds, but apparently they can bug out and just stack up on a single objective and never move.

Yea they might be a mess in oddball, but who knows. They may come in clutch one game and win it
They’ll actually escort you in CTF too. If they get near you and you have the flag, they’ll prioritize following you and protection.
I’m honestly really surprised they’ve made them that smart. Kinda wanna run a custom game, just to see them do it.
Totally agree with this. Seeing 343i actually takes groupbased SBMMR into account even in social, why not use that to add a bot most close to that match? In a lot of matches even a Spartan bot wouldn’t have tipped the scales but it would at least hit its shots
