    I figured it was to get some practice rather than a morale boost.

    Like the article says, it does mess with stats but it is only for Quick Play rather than ranked though.

      It’s absolutely a cheap way to give you an easy win. If I get SVP but lose in overtime, it’s absolutely an insult to throw me into a bot match for ‘practice’

        lol let me be clear, I’d be upset if I get thrown in too and I’ve been on losing streaks as well where I just couldn’t get it going for one reason or another.

        I guess it does make sense from their perspective for player retention? But I agree with your guys sentiment overall, I would have hoped they’d not opt people with a certain number of hours into this.
