Evidence mounts that Marvel Rivals stealthily places losing players in bot matches, and I know because I'm the loser (www.pcgamer.com)

It's absolutely a cheap way to give you an easy win. If I get SVP but lose in overtime, it's absolutely an insult to throw me into a bot match for 'practice'

lol let me be clear, I'd be upset if I get thrown in too and I've been on losing streaks as well where I just couldn't get it going for one reason or another.

I guess it does make sense from their perspective for player retention? But I agree with your guys sentiment overall, I would have hoped they'd not opt people with a certain number of hours into this.
