Killer bots are out of control

It's fun at first because they let you farm BP with them. These Auto-AFK Killers swing and rotate sequentailly so that you can take hits and heal your teammates. But then your servers are filled with only these Killers that run their game all day, just to maliciously gain Iri shards and bp- and I say maliciously because of one reason.

These killers also run four gen regressing perks to make the game take forever- sitting on gens all day is literally the most boring thing you can do. And it doesn't help when the three other survivors are new to the game, so I have to do all 5 gens. Theres always one person who DCs instantly when they hear the doctor's blasts, because 99% of the time its all doctors that run these scripts (probably cause their killer power gives bp and slows down game). The disconnecting explains why I keep running into the same killers- nobody wants to play this game. It's that frequent here.

The Bloodpoint reward in the menu shows up as 100% for survivors, showing that there are tons of AFK killers overflowing the servers. As a result, people play survivors, then eventually get fed up dealing with the killers and DC. It's only in the evening where you actually have standard gameplay because there are more sentient killers playing then.

My speculation is that they're either running a hotkey script or a cheat client, because most killers that do this move in the exact same pattern, using their killer power in a specific rhythm thats already been engraved into my brain. The same killers also have an anti-flashlight cheat, which is self-explanatory. I have player reports spanning from 2021 because of how frequently I run into them- and this issue still persists today.

I've reported almost every killer that I had encountered and they don't seem to get punished because they arent gaining a "competetive" advantage. So my reports must be filed under 'Unsportsmanlike Conduct' with non-normal gameplay. With the amount of reports I send I feel like theres little action being taken. I send video evidence as well. But it's so frustrating. I reckon this is only a thing in SEA servers (specifically Korea) because I don't see anyone else complaining about this issue elsewhere, probably because less people speak english in SEA as well (duh).

And my luck is bad as well too. I queue up with a fun troll or looping build with good items, just for them to have no use because its a 4v0. Then i switch to a boring gen-rushing build to escape faster, but then I actually play against a real killer- I wanna loop them with my other builds!. Like I said, AFK killers are a nice change of pace after dealing with tryhard killers one after another, but not when 90% of the matches are full of a monotonous 'nothing'. How often do you encounter these bastards?

    Japanese new players must continue to play against bots for several weeks. The encounter rate with bots exceeds 80%. Some players disconnect. As a result, they will continue to encounter bots for even longer periods. This is a terrible joke lol

    Developers should improve the Testing Skill Bracket to ensure that new players can meet human players rather than bots as soon as possible. If this is a problem only in some regions, they should prepare two Testing Skill Brackets and let players choose whichever they prefer.

    Exactly. This happens especially with grade reset because the botters in the early skill bracket are too lazy to play legit and rank up.. A frustrating positive feedback loop. Behavior needs to focus on the less popular regions as well!!
