Are There Bots in Quick Play Matches Now?

-

I just played a Quick Play match and I’m pretty sure my Mercy was a bot. Is it really possible for bots to be in these games, or am I just imagining things? I have the replay code: Y6VHYG if that helps!

I noticed some players acting a bit weird, standing still for a while like you’d see with Fortnite bots. Could be a similar situation!

There’s been no confirmed use of bots in Overwatch matches. People have speculated about it, but Blizzard hasn’t admitted to anything. Do you think they would if they were? They probably want to avoid any player backlash!

Yeah, I wouldn’t put it past them to keep things hush-hush, especially if it could upset the community.

Yes, if you’re using a brand new account, there can be bots in your first five matches. Are you on a new account? That could explain it!
