Its pretty silly to show ranks for bots, since they have bot icon, and it doesnt matter what rank they have...
would make them feel more like bots than players when they have no rank at all.
Disable rank for bots?

Re: Disable rank for bots?
Usually inexperienced bots suck at hosting, so I say keep ranks.

Re: Disable rank for bots?
A rank is a better indication of the quality of a bot than an indication of the quality of a player. The reason for this is that you know a good bot is one that people have used for 100 hours. There is more trust in a more "experienced" bot. Conversely, a player can commander bomb for 100 hours and still be a nub. This is how we get players like (Edit: Deleted name of player because it is not fair to make fun of him if he does not use the forums and thus cannot defend himself.) at higher ranks.

Oh yeah... i didnt think of that, though it would be cooler if the bots had own rank icons :) a number or something like that?

Extending this, played time shouldn't be taken when speccing.
Re: Disable rank for bots?
How would people get any ingame time then? It seems like 3/4 of the BA hosts continually spec or even kick the first two or three ranks.Masure wrote:Extending this, played time shouldn't be taken when speccing.
