In some matches players use punches to an excess and sometimes they cover significant distances just to make a bazooka shot while they had a chance for it from the original position.

Shouldn't bot players be marked?

if you waited too long while looking for an opponent online, a bot of random player (usually level-1) will play against you.
yep, they should be marked, and there has to be option as well to prevent joining their games

If we didn't have the bots in place during the Closed Beta, you might not get a game at all! Rest assured as we go live with more and more players you shouldn't be too pushed to get a game with a real player.

Okay, logical that you needed bots but mark them, don't mask them with photos or names of real people and that way you will get meaningful feedback/bug reports about their activity.

You are welcome to give personalities to A.I.

Yeah, kinda lame that they use our "auto defense" as a stand-in. How embarrassing that other players think I'm terrible because they are playing a bot version of my profile.

This shouldn't be a problem when it goes live and we have a lot more players. If it is, we will review the situation then. But for now, we need to concentrate on bug fixes to get this baby ready to go! :)

But using real players profile photos for bot profiles is not cool what ever we agreed when signing up. I don't mind playing wit a bot, just don't hide that fact and don't mask it as a real person.

not sure, but from what i saw, game mostly using low lvl profiles as bots, and prolly inactive ones?

I agree with this!, so annoying to play against bot teams!

Once again guys, these are in as a measure for Beta so we can test the random opponent button. I understand that it can be frustrating, but if we don't test it now, it might not work when we go live. All I can ask is that you trust us on this one. :)
