It feels like Ive played last 6 games vs bots, but they were made more prefined, as if they were thinking. Lots of ilogical moves, at high platinum, even some gestures. Every cars played at same time interval during turn. Is it just me?
I know man, juts really fishy, every game feels like playing vs bots. 8 games played, 6 were playing card with same time intervals during turn, really illogical moves plus were using cards that really noone would put in that kind of deck. Jutr asking if someone had same exp.
It’s sad. I loved this game and considered myself a whale because I’ve bought every expansion and then some but I can’t stand playing bots. my last 15 games have been against them. It’s annoying. If I wanted to play bots, I would play the solo mode. I’m gonna have to give this game up.
At least bots are playing the game now, with good decks, I'm fine with that, it's an easy win but you still have to think about your plays. Odd warrior AFK bots were much worse, you would either waste your time entirely for 10 minutes or be forced to concede.
But yeah, a bot every 3 games in standard (my usual experience these days) is very concerning.
So... someone said a while back that there were some "measures" being tested for implementation to stop this ridiculous scourge of bot accounts that are painfully easy to spot... (they all play x3U DK - used to be Blood, now all I see are Unholy; they all have the basic standard card back or the Grilled Cheese & Soup one; they all have keyboard spam names - i.e. sdsfa; they all play each turn with a 3-4 second pause prior to action; they all play their turns in an illogical and obviously non-human format - i.e., make one meaningless attack, play a card, make another attack, play another card or two)
Is there any update on that from Blizzard on what they plan to do about it? Does reporting these obvious bots even do anything?
I could deal with the broken and shitty cards they're putting out OR I can deal with the bots... trying to deal with them both is just beyond my ability or desire to continue, really.

i can also confirm the keyboard spam bot accts.
i thought i was the only one, just the other day i must have played 6 in a row names like, "sjkdj" , "gfdak", "qddqo", etc and I noticed a pattern and thought to myself "are these bots, they play slow and stupid..."
then i see this thread. had no clue this was a problem in HS... or i would've never dropped the $ on the new expansion. Blizzard fleeced me again. game's always been a moneypit.
Bots are all over the ladder I'm noticing. Heavy infestation mostly between Gold 5 - Legend. All playing DK. Truly the most brain dead of classes to play. Some are now emoting at random intervals of the match, probably to add some cover.
People you need to distinguish and be more clear when addressing bots.
There are two type of bots
First we have the blizzard bots, nothing you can do about it.
Second we have the afk and sometimes play but roping play bots/scripts from actual players just to farm EP. Why do they play DK? its easy, because they are farming the Hero Wins Portrait or simply because they have good cards for auto use to make the games take longer or fast win vs. other bots.
yesterday I played like 8 games, faced 3 bots in gold tier
how did I know about the bots?
* they play instantly every turn, without thinking or hovering cards and not making smart decisions
* they do random buffs and debuffs, even buffing the enemy minions instead of their minions (targeting random minions)
* you cant report them because you will not see them on the menu of last player played (hack?) so cant add them or report them(they usually play as priest or shaman or dh)
* another strange thing that I saw in 2 games:shaman bot playing rogue cards all the way, like he got rogue deck (wtf?)
you usually see them alot on low ranks like gold or bronze, cuz they are not "smart" bots and you will beat them easily (for now, who knows maybe they will get better soon)

Yea I've been running into a lot of bots lately. It's usually a free win so I don't mind that much but it's boring.
Yeah, i´ve been facing a shit ton of them both in standard and arena today at least.
Pretty lame
bot infested
Correct. Tons of bots. Thanks team 5!
pretty soon all the games will be bot v bot. No sane person continues to play this trash.
AMEN BROTHER AMEN
Imik posted a list of the bot names:

wow it seems like there are lots of them. names with 2 words joined while first letter of each capitalized.

I see a lot of topics like this. But i havent faced that much bots the last few weeks. Maybe 2 or 3 in standard. Am I the only one then?
Because player numbers are extremely low in standard compared to the past. If there were no bots there would be much longer queues.

why do people even bot in this game, I get it in WoW because you can sell gold on online markets, but why HS? The reward economy is self-contained.
