BOTs in mutiplayer games.

from Demigod Forums

I just played a game with a bot on my ream against one person and I lost because my Bot died 22 times. If you are going to put bots in the game they had better be able to take care of themselves because in a situation like this all they are is Fodder to the opposing team feeding them gold and exp.  When the bot dies the other player continues to level so the next time said player kills the bot the level gap widens and I get left with a level 7 team mate while the opponent is level 13 and one shotting my bot.  Either get rid of bots in multiplayer or make them a higher diffeculty.

If I click multiplayer in a game, it's because as customer I want to be playing against other humans. That's my end game here. If I didn't, I'd click to play single player. Unless someone specifically adds bots in a custom game, can we get rid of these annoyances? If someone drops give them the opportunity to surrender and end the game, rather than replace with bots. I'm sure there are many use cases the developers need to look at, but really, this has to change.

agreed.  Bots feeding + no ability to resign sucks for both the person with the bot(who almost never wins) and the opposing team (who have to finish a game against bots so they get their win).  A resign feature that automatically ends the game when they entire team has resigned would be so much better

Heck, even just give ME the opportunity to kick my bot.  It is almost always better to NOT have the bot, than to have one.

The bots just feed free XP/gold to the opponent making things drastically uneven.
