Hey, I've been playing with a squad of 4, 3 of them used to play 2 or so years ago(or before bots were implemented atleast), and are people that I would say are pretty good at shooters.

Since we picked it back up 2 weeks ago we noticed that we play against at least 80% bots, when all the videos I have watched say the percentage should be around 10-20% instead. We thought that this would be temporary but I am level 57 at this point and they haven't decreased. We play around 8PM with 2 living in Central US and 2 Eastern US. Is this something thats going to be around till we get level 80 and play ranked?

Hey, this is due to your friends having little or no recent matches played in the gamemode you are playing together with. The mmr was reset with the addition of bots and until the hidden mmr is high enough you will have to play matches that have a low amount of players in them. This is to do with the game seeing your teammates as new players because they have no mmr score and need to build it up.

Matches in the higher mmr tier no longer have the minimum of 20 bots in them. This was removed some time ago and bots only fill up the empty player spots after certain time period is over and the game is about to start.
