Summary
The competitive scene in Fortnite's OG mode has never felt more sluggish thanks to a concerning spike in bot activity, with some matches seeing up to 92% bots. Leaker AllyJax revealed this issue stems from Epic reducing real player counts from 25 to as low as eight, creating a likely 92-bots-to-seven-real-players ratio—a far cry from what players expect when they join the game. While companies can use bots for streamlined matchmaking or AI-based skill assessments, this situation feels more akin to a bug than an intended feature, raising questions about Epic's commitment to fair play and player experience in their OG mode.
