Please add bots
Honestly not enjoying this game at 300 hrs. I would like to keep playing it just not with the current matchmaking system. I'm only playing survivor to try and grow my killers but playing killer is so unfun being matched against people who know the maps inside out and the game has far too much grind.
I'm already wishing I could refund all the DLC I recently bought. Please add option to play against bots with varying difficulty levels.

I do feel you but they can't add nor they will. You see the only way to play against a bot is if you are the killer and the 4 survivors are all bots. It's very hard to create an AI for a game like this because you need to add a script for most of the things in-game. But let's say they add one very simple then what happens.
If it is a survivor bot then it will sit on gens if another survivor is on the hook it will take the safe( and/or longer) root to them and if are in the chase they will run in a line drop every pallet they see.
If it is a killer bot then it will go from gen to gen looking for survivors ( they may use the power if they are simply like trapper or bill ) when in the chase they will follow the survivor without mind game or strategy and if they have unhooked a survivor they will not carry a bit.
In the end, a bot in this game will be very hard and unfun for the normal game i think they will be very good a practice tool.

But these "ai" (I prefer calling them bots for less ambiguity) already exist in the tutorial and in dbd mobile.
Yeah, why does dbd mobile have the vs bot gamemode and not dbd?

Just FYI they already have ai bots in the mobile game, and they have bots in the unlimited tutorial game you can play as Trapper. So they definitely can add bots to the PC version, they just have apparently decided it’s not enough benefit for the work involved.
So it’s not that they “can’t” do it, they just don’t want to put in the resources to bring over the mobile bot system to PC or to expand out what they built for the tutorial bot game.

Most bots in UE4 are using the same controls as the player the think is the way the player is working in the main game and in the mobile is completely different. More in dept the controls in mobile are both to the screen and can be used the moment the bot is in the hitbox area in the main game because many actions are bonded to the same key this can confuse the bot and take the wrong action. For example, the bot may want to drop a pallet but because it's close to the window it will vault it and go back to the path for the pallet. Or another if the bot gets hit by the power of pinhead then that can destroy the script and literally stop working.
I know i may not make a lot of sane but the thing is that the mobile has better controls and less spaghetti code in it.
The best you can get right now as a bot is a zombies from nemesis and as for the tutorial in that you have extremely little control to the point they can script all the 3 actions they allow you to do.

Botmatches would be cool. But a lot of people wouldn´t play online anymore and that´s a problem. So it probably won´t come...

I have seen dumber people play than the tutorial bots. They could improve them if they want to.

I'd enjoy a bot match that doesn't give any kind of reward, but allows you to get used to killer/survivor abilities and move sets.
It's great I'm a new player and can practice a bit with/against the Trapper, but I'd like to check out the other stuff without more experienced players just slapping me around over and over again.
