Sooo, could we possibly do something about the bots offing themselves on hook? I know this has been an issue since they came out, but it's really kinda messed up. If they end themselves on hook, it can be worse than dealing with a DC'd survivor. Now we gotta drop everything we're doin to save the bot from missing skill checks and instantly dying. Plz fix!

    I watched a bot self heal during end game collapse. One gate was open and two people were out. The bot could have gone for the open gate or even tried to open the other. Instead, it did the self heal till the timer ran out and death lol

    I had one that wanted to play the shack during collapse. I'd break away like I was leaving, it would run, as soon as I moved to chase, back to shack. Even with a head start, back to shack.

    They're just making them realistic. Like most solo Q players, bots will suicide on hook.

    In all seriousness, it's an insult that bots can fail skill checks in the first place.

    Interesting. Every bot I've seen struggled to the very end. Even when there was no possibility of rescue.

    I've seen this happen 3-4 times probably. It should not be possible. Bots shouldn't miss skill checks in general. They should be there to help you and not sabotage the game because they missed multiple skill checks. You're already at a disadvantage when a real player leaves.

    It happens quite frequently to the point where it's ridiculous. The bots can also fail healing skill checks on other survivors and themselves. And fail skill checks on generators. They are really bad and need improvements.

    Yesterday I had a bot miss the skillcheck twice when healing me (during the same heal). Like, come on. Bots are already worse than actual players, they should not miss skilchecks ever, in my opinion. Or at least, not this often.

    The bots are such a hindrance I swear. They keep missing skillchecks, give up on hook and they're in a constant state of dilemma about what to do that they end up doing nothing.

    Bots definetely should not be failing so much skill checks they used to be much better in customs.
