Bots have been improving a lot in recent years. It may be that the future is not multiplayer but single player with excellent bots... maybe Sliders got the end times wrong :)
Agreed - I haven't played against real people for years. I've even developed bots for a few older games without much of a player base any more so I can continue playing them.
I am so annoyed I can’t play league with those awesomely good boys. Seriously just let me stop interacting with angry man children and give me bots.
