Buckle up. A bunch of players are competing to cross the finish line of a brutally difficult tower of racetracks in racing game Trackmania, with a prize pool of $30,000 waiting for the first three drivers to reach the top. The course is a huge, winding gauntlet made of pieces suspended in midair, and even expert players have fallen from their positions over 1000 times, their cars hurtling back to the bottom of the tower to start again. The top contenders are currently trying to crack a difficult spot to reach the 12th floor, at which point the course will reveal unknown territory. They seem a little tired, which is not surprising. They are 11 days into the event.
Some Overwatch 2 Players Are Convinced They're Playing With Bots
29.04.2024 - 18:27 / gamerant.com
Several Overwatch 2 players have reported an issue where they seem to be put in lobbies filled with bots instead of fellow human players. Although players cannot be sure whether they are playing with actual bots or players who are willingly trying to lose their matches, this matchmaking issue in Overwatch 2 prevents players from fully enjoying Blizzard’s FPS.
Since the release of the original Overwatch back in 2016, Blizzard has put the focus of its shooter on the PvP experience. While Overwatch 2 features a training mode where players can try out new heroes and abilities against bots, most of the game revolves around playing with or against other players.
Various Overwatch 2 players are reporting matchmaking issues in their recent games, where they end up in lobbies seemingly filled with bots. A Reddit user known as Takishado73 shared the replay code of their latest game where they believed they played with nine bots instead of humans with a similar rank. Players already reported a similar Overwatch 2 matchmaking issue last year, as they were complaining about their matches being ruined by an enemy team that seemed to act like bots.
While the behavior of these players seem consistent with bots, there is no way to know for sure whether they are actual bots or players losing their matches on purpose. Blizzard is already aware of this issue and brought various Overwatch 2 Competitive changes to stop players from throwing matches.
On top of this supposed bot invasion, Overwatch 2 is allegedly banning players by mistake. Several Overwatch 2 players claimed they were banned from ranked mode without actually leaving their match, cheating, or exhibiting any toxic behavior toward the other players. These reports highlight a potential glitch in the Overwatch 2 penalty system, which seems to have randomly banned players.
