Hearthstone
Hearthstone is dead, full of bots right now, making me not want to pre order a bundle this time.
I checked the live player count on playercount.com and it said 167,866 (Yes I know it means people currently online) and it said only 18% of that was American server players. I calculated 18% of 167,866 and it was just over 30,200. That is not a lot. and a lot of those numbers are bots so its not completely accurate.
I've played like 10 games in a row of bots no real players. Actual bots all the same type of name, they instantly play their cards every time and make bad plays its easy to tell when its an AI.
I don't wanna pay for an overpriced bundle for a game if half my matches will be against bots. Are the real players only in diamond?
Does getting reported make you play against bots?
I don't know why im seeing only bots right now.

i think it depends a lot on what rank you're at. You really shouldn't accuse everyone of being a bot just cause they lay fast and are bad at the game. Sounds like just... bad players playing aggro. Bots do exist but not to this degree
I'll boop you
I know whats a bot and what isn't.
+ None of the bots ever emote back. It's just easy to tell its not just playing fast. They all do the same exact thing it's obvious when its a bot.
I'm curious what makes you think you've been reported, and for what offense?
To respond to your question, though, I've had this same issue. At lower ranks (or if your MMR is in the toilet), you face many bots. You acknowledge that your data is incomplete since it's only players currently online, etc. So, yes, you're right, there are a lot of bots and player engagement is probably lower than it has been in the past. However, there are still plenty of real people actually playing the game. Plus, with set rotation and new expansion coming next week, I expect those numbers to jump considerably.
