Remove Bots from 2v8: It's Supposed to be 2v8, Not 2v6

Please remove the bots from 2v8! Plain and simply. They should not be there, and are genuinely ruining the entire experience with no return investment on shorter queues.

It is so so so so SOOO incredibly disappointing that, even though the most recent midchapter PTB saw universal outcry and upset and negative opinions and voices of disapproval when players saw the bot-fill feature was implemented into the PTB queues, and even though many went out and pleaded to never add this feature to the live servers, it was went ahead and added anyway! It feels like a big slap in the face to do this after we already voiced our opinions on this.

The entire gimmick of 2v8 is that there are more players than ever before… but what is the point in filling the lobby with fake players???? That ruins the ENTIRE point of the game mode that's supposed to be about… having more players!

I do main Killer in this game mode in particular. The queue times are just as bad as they always have been, except now instead of queuing 15 minutes for 2v8, we're queuing 14 minutes for 2v6. The difference in wait time is negligible and the match experience is exponentially worse.

People do not queue to play Dead by Daylight so they can kill AI bots, they enjoy interacting with other humans and outsmarting opponents. There is NO satisfaction in going back into the match to rescue a bot teammate, and no satisfaction in successfully hunting down a fake AI opponent.

Not to mention, the bots are horrible teammates, terrible in chase, and are very likely to bug out and do something completely inane and entirely unhelpful at least several times during a match.
