Allow the bots to become "smarter"
As of the current state of Bots in DBD, I am honestly quite content with them as someone who mains both killer and survivor, they are a good implementation for when someone leaves the match, but I have one gripe which is sometimes the bots can be a bit dumb
With this new idea I feel like for survivors the bots will be able to be more smarter then normal and help survivors.
The idea is as following: Allow bots to respond to the "Point" and "Come" emotes. Using the "Come" emote while near a bot will make it follow you until a killer has gotten close to you, which will then make it divert away from you and run off. If you have a bot in tow you can use the "Point" emote to send it forwards, and it will walk forwards for 4 or so seconds until running off to do something. If the bot runs into an action (i.e. opening a gate, opening a chest, doing a totem, etc.) it will then do the action.
I believe this would be very helpful for the survivors and allow good cooperation even when you're down a human player.

That sounds definitely more fun for survivors. They could send bots on suicide missions :D
I wish they weren't so boring to chase as a killer.

AI in this game will never work properly and at this point you'd think people would have made peace with that. Nemesis zombies have plenty of flaws, Knight oompaloompas have plenty of flaws... It just will never work.
