IMO, the bots are nice in the fact that they don't really break immersion, like you're toying with something that'll never hit you, but I think they way overtuned them. It's hard to explain, like they can miss, but they also NEVER miss. They hit all kinds of frost shots, even through trees, tracking invis, and at close range that they shouldn't be able to imo. Bots that can beat good players shouldn't be the kinds of things that new players have to deal with. There's a good balance to be had between having bots that don't break immersion and bots that are so strong that they obliterate everyone just coming into the game. Maybe there's a lower difficulty setting on bots in lower level lobbies, but in my lobbies at least it's hilariously difficult to beat them sometimes.
Really appreciate this detailed feedback! We'll continue to tune and adjust bots going forward, and some of the things you mentioned are already on our near-term improvement list.
I worked pretty hard on trying to get their aiming to feel believable without being overpowered, but they are definitely too eagle eyed when it comes to noticing stealthy players right now!
I'm glad to see that this is on the list! I think overall you've done a great job of improving the AI in a way that makes the game more immersive and fun throughout the match, but I think there really is great benefit to be had from a lower difficulty in fighting them at lower levels (which I can't really try out to see if that's already there, but you know, just in general). New players just coming into the game don't really hit their shots well, so pitting them against things that can just seems...unkind lmao.
That being said, I think you've done some great work with the improvements! Just a little tweaking with and I think they're good to go for the higher level lobbies. :)
We do have different difficulty levels for the bots, so rest assured new players aren't facing bots as difficult as you are. :)
