Bots need to stop prioritizing their escape over everyone else in the game

There a billion issues with bots. Wasting time with chests or dull totems, being too scared to do anything in the killer's terror radius, not doing anything helpful until they get a heal, etc. But by far the biggest, most frustrating issue is when at the end of the game all gates are powered, the team is in trouble and the bot just leaves, starting the endgame collapse in the process and double screwing over the actual players in the lobby by putting them on a timer.

Again, not only does this put everything on a timer, but now the only way to try for a save at the end of the game is if none of the 3 actual players have died, and that's assuming there's only one bot. If there are 3 total survivors alive, normally you would be able to save one on hook with two people, but that straight up becomes impossible when a literal bot decides it's more important than the actual players and leaves.

It just results in actual players getting frustrated because they end up getting abandoned on hook by a literal robot trying to save its own skin. Bots should at the very least try and help at the end of the game, but if anything they should sacrifice their lives for you, the player before that bot might as well be dead already!

    Another thing bots aren't good at is they never read the fact that there is only 1 other survivor left standing while they are on hook. So they will never miss the skill checks to allow for a faster hatch spawn. They prioritise their own survival even in that case.

    Yes bots are SOOOO BAD nowadays. They also need to be able to trade even if they go down. OR at least make them sit on gens once they realise killer is nearbly

    I had situation recently where killer was proxy camping hook so the bot just kept running back and fourth in the middle of the map doing absolutely nothing. because they would get close to hook, hear terror radius, run away, get out of radius and try to run in again.

    On the other hand I've had a bot try to take a hit when I've picked them up off ground rather then run away with no endurance witch caused the whole match to be thrown.

    They do need to play smarter. (or maybe even MMR based) I don't know what lobbies folks be getting but my teammates are usually no where near that dumb.

    side note: but bots also need to be fixed with Jason because they will legit sandbag people in OE by not crouching.
