Nice bot foundation you have there. It can definitely be better though. Here's how:
What I have here for your viewing pleasure is concepts and ideas on how we can further improve the bots and flesh them out more. While I may not have experience in the coding area of game development, I can give feasible plans on how we can make this concept of A.I. more used and expanded.
- Usage of bots to fill custom matches (and how you could choose the amount)
Plain and simple, this one is. With bots as one of the options to play with and against in custom matches and the choice of how many you wish to add (Up to a maximum of 5 with you being the spectator.), You'll be able to practice and observe how the bots play and think. Find ways on how to improve them with research while also being able to try different builds on certain killers and different power strategies on survivors.
- Ability to customize perk loadouts for the bots
This will be a difficult task since there are perks with certain conditions and triggers which may make it difficult so as a contingency plan, we'll restrict perks which are deemed too complex for the bots and keep the simple stuff such as Iron Will, Urban Evasion, Balanced Landing, etc. It'll be useful in figuring out how to counter certain builds which may annoy you in general. It'll help in getting players more experience and they'll have fun doing it.
- Behavioral sliders
This will be the most difficult task in my opinion since it won't be easy to program this in the game without some bugs. What I'm speaking of is sliders for specific survivor bots which will do tasks such as: Focus on being altruistic or being gen jockeys depending on which you go for while selecting a blend of slightly more altruism than gen progress. There could also be a level on difficulty in general and whether they should be more bold or immersed. Perhaps the difficulty could lock the settings as a preset to some or you can put it to custom to really get in deep with choosing what you plan on trying to counter.
- Cosmetic customization for bots
This may seem insignificant to some but to others, this could be seen as a way of practicing against a team of p3 Claudettes while they can blend easily, they're gods at looping as well. Also it'd be nice to use the cosmetics you bought on other survivors. It'd be cool to get looped by Chris Redfield who is a bot.
That's going to be it from me but I would love to hear your ideas as well in the comments below. Hopefully they can achieve this in the near future. It'd also make it easier for crappy players to make those "Juke" compilations with these bots.

I agree with most of your points, other than where you call players who make 'Juke' compilations crap lmao.

These are all good, but the biggest thing is: Let us select our killer in the bot game.
Can't stress this often enough.

Not all of them are crappy. I'm talking about how even the worst dbd players could make juke compilations with these bots.

This would be my dream, and being able to select the killer and the survivors in trial would be awesome for when I'm into roleplaying

I just want to make a survivor stereotypes video. Imagine bots having a setting just for that.

Lol, the whole team dying while Yunjin is fixing gens

I'd much rather prefer a team of four pink hair Neas trying to click and teabag while they loop me. Then they have to deal with tombstone myers.

I'm more into roleplaying, being able to choose what type of behaviour the bots would go for matching with the character personalities would be really interesting!! Overall it would be perfect to have this on the game.

Completely agree. I really hope they add bot options to custom game mode. It would be great to be able to hop on and play a quick game when I don't have a lot of time. It would also be nice to practice new killers without having to tolerate whining messages from toxic crybabies at the end of the match :).
