Regarding upcoming bot matches

I was interested in asking, is there something particular you're gonna test vs bots which you didn't against real Survivors. Reasons being anxiety, empathy etc.?

I in particular want to test 2 things:

1. If it possible in some way to get 4 kills with a Tombstone Piece

2. Test how it feels to play with only Cherry Blossom + MDR.


For the second, I can't be asked to play those online so I'll see how it is against bots. And to regain my lost braincells, I'll play Add-on less Spirit vs real Survivors to compensate.


What are some things you'd like to test?

    For me there are killers that I've never tried that I don't want to play online with because I don't want to sweat while I practice.

    Perfect example, it's been a while since I played with the Legion and last night I decided to play a couple of games with him. The game was offering a 100% blood point incentive for killer so naturally I thought this was a win/win, but I couldn't have been more wrong. In the first match I went against a four man SWF. Not only did I not manage to get a single hook, I didn't even manage to get a single down. It was an absolutely abysmal experience. In the next match I managed to get one hook, but nothing else.

    Again it had been a while since I played with the Legion so I needed to get my bearing straight again, but doing that against a SWF made for a horrible learning tool.

    The one thing I definitely would like to try against the bots though would be different loadouts. I play on a controller, and I don't think using the same setup for every killer works. Being able to try different loadouts for different killers against bots versus trying that in live matches would go a lot more smoothly.

    I am as above, I have played the PTB bots a lot since they came out and pretty much entirely to finally try killers I own but never played. Just to show how behind I am.... I FINALLY played Oni despite owning him since he came out lol (he is a lot of fun).

    For me the bots are entirely for stress free practice/learning rather than suffering public matches. The bots do well but are probably not going to be that great for trying out weird builds etc, as they don't act like real human opponents in many situations. Still good enough to learn the basics of a killer though

    Defintely. I usually play everyone vs real people but it's certain builds which I don't want to try against certain people, cuz of stress or cuz I don't wanna feel bad.

    I'll probably play more Blight and Billy vs bots as I'm extremely rusty with those. And for derusting, bots might be enough.

    I'm glad for people like you so you can try out new Killers.

    I also cannot wait for them.

    Teabagging bots. =)

    I never BM in game, I don't find it fun making someone else's experience worse, but making fun of bots while my friend was trying the Knight gave us a good laugh.

    More seriously, I'll probably use them a lot in the future to shake off rust or try out new killers. =)
