Can we have bot matches?

Can we have matches where we can queue against bots? Not like custom match, I mean like matches where we still earn rewards and stuff. And no don't start coming up with excuses as to why you can't do it. Other games allow you to play and earn YOUR way so DBD could as well. Even more recent games that I've been playing a lot, MultiVersus allows you to just progress at the game pace but just against bots. I would love this in DBD so I don't stress as much because frankly, the bots are always much much easier. People should be able to play and earn their way.

    I wouldn't like that. People would just farm BP so they can hoard overpowered items and add-ons. Play 10 bot matches with doctor and then spend all of the BP and tombstones for myers. Not fun. Custom matches give everything for you anyways so if you just wanted to play against bots then there's no need to earn anything.

    If its for a reduced rewards/bp cost sure. Why not say 75 or 50% reward reduction

    It should be the normal rewards. Like I said, other games do just that, DBD can to. Not everything has to come at a cost if it's not playing online.

    You can just do that with online. Just play the game as Doctor and buy Michael stuff. It's just for people who want to play that way. If people want to have OP add-ons they'll do just that anyways. It doesn't hurt any game balance. It just allows people to play their way. There is absolutely 0 bad things in doing this.

    I would like this. I don't think BHVR would do it, though, out of fear that a lot of killers would choose to play against bots and survivors would be left with few real people queueing up as killer.

    That's the players choice. I still feel the majority would play online mostly since you get a different feeling facing a real person than facing a bot but it would definitely make some people who don't want to be stressed while playing the video game much happier.

    I don't see custom matches against bots giving you bloodpoints, mainly because I think the devs want to use the bloodpoints as a way to encourage people to play against other human players.

    On the bright side, if all you're wondering about is if you can play against bots for fun without having to spend bloodpoints to do it, the custom match bots will be in the game fairly soon (it's one of the only things left to complete in their 2022 roadmap). And while I'm hoping the bots are fun to play against, I suspect they won't be as good as really good human players so you probably wouldn't really feel any need to buy add-ons against them if you didn't want to.

    No, Hackers.

    We should be allowed to just get bloodpoints while playing with bots. Like I said other games do it all the time and they go just fine. It's for the people that want it if they want it. They progress how they want. Lots of people are already stressed out and DBD just adds more the way it is for some people so bots would help A lot of people. No it wouldn't kill the online play. If it hasn't for every other game that does it, it won't for DBD.

    I personally wouldn't mind getting bloodpoints from bot matches, I'm just saying I don't think the devs want to do it. If they did then they'd have probably already let you earn bloodpoints in custom matches now without the bots.
