Before the latest update, if a player was disconnected in competitive play, they were swapped out for a handy little bot that other players could then take control of if they died. However, as of the la⛦test Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update, this is no longer possible.
No word has been given on why bots hav🦂e been axed from competitive with the update coming completely out of the blue. Players aren't too happy about the change, since what this means is that if a player leaves, is kicked, disconnects, or decides to troll and gets banned, then 🐟there's no alternative, making matches even more unfair with the uneven pairing.
Some believe that this change was made to combat kicking teammates who are doing poorly in the match to swap them out for a bot, but💞 that Valve could have simply altere🌳d the system to only replace those who are disconnected or purposefully leave with bots rather than those who are kicked by their fellow players.
YouTuber Anomaly simply commented, "WHY REMOVE BOTS? WTF?!" which is a sentiment that many seem to share. Whether it's Reddit or Twitter, the community is n⛦ot happy, with most posts regarding the change calling for Valve to reverse it altogether.
However, funnily enough, Valve did update bot AI to fix their poor navigatio🃏n in Warmup arenas, so there's that at least. The update also contains some smaller changes and tweaks, such as reducing the size of SWAT sleeves, fixing various crashes, fixing clipping bugs, and further optimizing Ancient.
Perhaps bots are only temporarily out of the playing field while Valve work to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:revamp their AI, making them mo💯re versatile and useful in competitive play beyond acting as stand-ins until a player dies. Or, they could be gone for good in a seemingly failed attempt to balance matches that has made losing a player a harsher punishment. Whatever the reason, hopefully Valve gives some context soon.
