Here's why bots are so prevalent in #Fortnite BR ���
On a Typical Gamer stream last night, game director Chris explained Epic's mentality with bots and bot lobbies in Fortnite. To summarize, over the course of several years before bots were introduced, Epic found that chasing the Victory Royale began to feel less special for most players. Simultaneously, players began to expect to be able to win Victory Royales often, even if they only hopped on for an hour or two each night. Bots were introduced to help ensure that players would be able to score wins more often.
Chris clarifies that this shift hasn't gone over well with everyone, and that they're always discussing making changes internally. When Fortnite OG launched, the mode trialed a more difficult matchmaking system with minimal bots. However, they found that the "data was not good" and that "players were not having fun," hence why OG now features bots. Chris does admit, though, that players might've gotten used to that matchmaking in OG had it been around for longer.
Concluding, Chris reiterates that Epic Games is always considering changes to the matchmaking system, and wants everyone to have the best experience possible, but it just isn't easy when Fortnite is enjoyed by millions of people at varying different skill levels.
