Bot survivor in endgame screen

So I noticed that when someone disconnects and is replaced by a bot, this 'bot account' transfers over to the end game screen, where they will show as "Nicolas Cage_00 BOT" for example. As such it seems you're unable to check the actual user's profile.

This could potentially lead to situations where hackers mess up the game, dc and then become unreportable since their bot acts as an anon mode. Only if you have a screenshot or recording can you still find out who it was originally (and, on Steam, I suppose you can check your list of people you recently played with).

Is this something that requires looking into?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you still can report them in game. So it should be the same thing as anonymous mode. I do agree that it would be nice to see the players profile though.

    I wonder if you can accidently ban the bots?


    That would be so funny.
