BOTS in Ranked Battles - possible? probable?

[Herr_Reitz]

There's NO WAY one ship on our team in a ranked battle had a person driving it. No way. 

The "player" not only made the worst possible moves but moved out of cap when it almost had capped.

In a Nurnbert it chose a FUSO at 9km versus a cleveland at 13km. 

Not one single shot hit the FUSO and it fired at it for at least one minute if not more than two.

The first half of the match it sat in cap and did nothing. 

It was a loss...

 

Had to laugh... was the first report i've ever made of a BOT which played badly. lmbo...

 

BUT - is it possible, probable there are bots in the ranked battles ?

Don't post a screenshot, that counts as naming and shaming. Send the replay in a ticket to customer service; they'll take care of it ^-^

I was in a battle a few minutes ago where a guy in a Kongo on our team completely tanked the battle for the other team.  On the N side of Fault Line, he just drove behind that island around BC3/4 then lalala sailed over to the west side of the map, and never once fired a shot.  NOT ONCE!!!

 

 

Then in the next battle, I'm begging people to stick together before the ships start moving.  And what happens? The BBs and CA's all start going in various directions.  No team work whatsoever.

 

It's got me sooooooo freaking frustrated.  I play RkB's for the good competition, but I swear that in these tier 5/6 battles there's almost none because there are so many noobs that simply WILL NOT play as a team, no matter how much you beg and plead with them to do so.  For the life of me, I don't know how any decent player gets out of the tier 5/6 battles without slitting their own throat in frustration.

Possible and probable, just like in any other game / game mode that revolves around nothing but patience.

Well I did the reporting function... used two of my precious five on one match. :-)  For now, that's enough for me... if it happens again tho', yeah, I'll consider a ticket of some sort :-) 

 

I had hopes bots wouldn't be a problem by now, hoping somehow they may have found a way to block them.

 

OTOH, if it had played as well as WG's bots in the pVe mode, heck, we might have won :-)

 

Note: FWIW I was just in a match where i ended up being the remaining player in a minekaze... unfortunately, I muffed it up.

I would say its probable, since ranked is a simple numbers game. 50% win rate is all it really takes, running a bot is practically flipping a coin, but if you run it long enough you will get to rank 1.

so you want to report someone because they made a stupid mistake??
