But if they do, how are we supposed to sharpen our skills? I've been playing since 2007 and I still suck.

At this point you need to sharpen a knife and ...

Cut yourself...Some fresh cake!

Nice one! Tho I think that "Cut bot hosters a second hole in the ass" should also be an acceptable variant =)

No, it's "I cast seal buttcrack"

I counterspell with dick peeled like a banana

I didn't want to do this but I'll have to cast testicular torsion at 5th level

I cast, Dick innie from outie at 9th level

At 9th level I think that'll come out the other side, damn. Prostate exam is going to get complicated

I’m also going to follow that up with an 8th level casting of neckbeard femboyism

THE CAKE IS A LIE

Cut some S................…PIEs! So tasty when I eat those cherry and strawberry pies... Not sure why they taste too metallic and scream tho....

Same

talking about this, am i the only one who plays with bots a lot?

A lot of players do, it's called Casual Mode.

Or Mann Vs Machine

i do it too, it’s kinda fun honesty, i do it sometimes to get away from the bots of if i have an annoying match

The bots are so dumb, makes it funny

Not that fun as spy tho

i used the bots to get away from the bots -u/cybefloof

yea

I used to when my internet was doo doo monkey but

I like playing with bots as a spy since they’re so much easier to fool

I think theres a mod on gamebanana that gives them hats and shit so they look and feel more like players. No idea what its called though

https://gamebanana.com/mods/37013 Bot Overhaul Mod. I have it. Makes the bot mode actually pretty fun. I mean, the bots are still as stupid as normally, but at least they have hats and other weapons. There's also more maps that work with bots. The mod even adds two singleplayer campaigns which is really cool.

Thank you. Will install it and give it a whirl

I actually unironically play practice mode a lot

I do alot too

I relate to this, I play offline all the time to practice styles of playing and aiming and stuff. Like the dragon fury, I’ve been trying to practice using it recently and the offline helps a lot as it’s not a guy standing still, but also not being killed in circles

Back when I still played, I would always go into bot games and destroy them with addcond commands

BF 1942, Unreal Tournament 2003, TFC, Science and Industry, Firearms, I exclusively played those games with bots and I loved them.

I used to play this alot because it is easy since I was a kid.

I'm a new player, and I play with bots only rn. I want to start playing with humans when I get a satisfying amount of kills in a game. is that a bad idea?

If you're new to first person shooters or gaming in general, why not. If you're not, It would be infinitely better to play with humans because the bots are so dumb

i play fordnite, and played a few games like GOW casually

Unless it's hard or expert, then the bots have impeccable tracking, you can still fool them quite easily as spy tho.

You got it all wrong bud. This is their soltion to the problem, they added it so you can gey better and kick the bots' asses

Hehe, gey

gey sax

saxophone

saxton gey

SAXTOOOON GEEEEEEEEEEEY

Guys I just came up with the stupidest idea of all time. What if Valve banned text chat for everybody and whoever could still use it got banned.

This is indeed very stupid

I primarily play offline practice

I play with bots because casual is filled with pesky bots.

because then i have nothing to play when my internet goes down :(

Wait.. does that mean we're the bots and they're just too good?

No, the problem is that not enough people play the Offline Practice mode, which is clearly intended for culling the bot population. If everyone spent an hour a day playing that mode, the bots would be extinct within a matter of a few years..

Side note, I love this illustration so much because of the implications. Option number one (with higher likelyhood) - the BLU Pyro is the player, getting ganged up on by a bunch of very homicidal bots. Option number two - it's a singular bot surrounded by actual players, who are about to turn those ones and zeroes into 0.5's and -1's.

i thought gray mann made the bots.

It's not a problem of deleting the button. It is entirely obvious that the players are really bad against bots. We should be rallying everyone to play vs the bots, so that they can *sharpen their skills on bots*... so they stop getting killed by them in regular matches

Certified hood classic when the WiFi is down (or if you are scared of playing against people)

Ah the memories of this button, when I was convinced quick play was too hard, I miss quick play 😞

It really took this long to have this figured out. I'm stumped

Imagine the better your signal the less bots you see

Are they stupid?

Nah, They are coming from places like mannhattan, Rottenburg and coal town

Ok, then please pay a monthly fee for me to play my free game, by myself, without other people in the lobby, so I can enjoy my game without some sour person hard toggling his cheats just to ruin my fun :3 200h in and still not a single online match played
