That's great for stats but I don't like when companies hide these details from me or other players, I guess I'm not their impressionable demographic anymore though since overwatch 1 was replaced by overwatch 2: currency management simulator and I checked out from games with a store+game model.
I'm not in their demographic either, but the reason they do this is because it's measurably more likely to get players to stick around. People would rather win against bots than lose to other people.
It's the Skinner box casino model of gaming, get em hooked young to the dopamine reward instead of building a skill based competition.
