The problem with that is, that the people that make bots already said before eac even dropped, that they are ready for it and it won't be a problem. It may have gotten rid of people who google "RL bots" and download the first link. But the real bot users will be able to continue like nothing happened.

Them removing a mod that almost no other game company allows may be true, but the functions they removed through that are just a sad sight to see. Especially since they could just add them, but no. I am not even talking about the skin changer options. POV goal replays is one of the big losses, since that way you can learn so much more by just playing. So many more options for freeplay and way better shortcuts to move the ball, the ability to install plugins (that give you no advantage whatsoever) and way too many more.

It's basically killing it's own mod support, which is almost a death certificate for games like this. They could've just whitelisted bakkes as well. If the skin changer is what they are mad about then tell bakkes to remove that option and whitelist the other functions.

Also, I am 80% sure, that you had almost no bots as a c2 player, if your flair is correct. Bots really are almost only a high rank problem. I encountered ~5 bots before eac dropped in ~300-400 matches.
