Hot take but bots if used properly could’ve actually been a good thing for Rocket League.
Obviously keep them out of ranked, that should’ve never happened in the first place. People are using the bots to sell accounts and that’s never going to be okay.
But after running into so many bots, I realized how good of a training tool it can be to play bots that play “perfect Rocket League”. Being able to watch replays of them and see the decisions they make is super interesting. Which you can either apply to your own gameplay or be able to practice against said “Perfect Rocket League”. It could unironically be meta defining for the top of RLCS.
Also the bigger implication being that there is hugeeeee PvE possibilities by adding way more content to the game. Rocket League has a content drought problem and some of the best experiences I’ve had in the game has been private matches or modes created by the community.
So imagine if you could play Mirror bot, or go through a hardcore gauntlet of a different variety of bots for rewards or whatever it may be. Imagine if you go against a bot that can only save, or can only flip reset that you have to defend. A bot that never drops the ball, and even a training bot that can show you how to do certain mechanics. Like half flips, balancing the ball, Hook shots, and different forms of basic fundamentals.
It really does suck because even after years of nothing being added content wise to the game, RL has sooooooo much potential. Which now with the game seeing a second wave of popularity. It feels like it’s now or never to really make RL the game I know it can be. I’d love to sit down and share some of these ideas if the Devs are ever willing to listen 😔.
