Yeah I'm of the opinion that bots are not great for the game. I think at one point they were as they added match liquidity but we are well past that. At this point Bots take from the DEC pool and more importantly they consolidate reward cards into fewer hands. I get the argument that historically botmasters have dumped these cards early but we also see them hoarding some of the more rare ones. The most infamous botmaster of all stated he is just planning to hoard gold foil versions. This effectively means that one user is forcing scarcity of that card on the rest of us that wouldn't otherwise exist.

That said, the difficulty in combating them also means most fixes that would hurt bots are also going to negatively impact new players and I certainly wouldn't want to be in the driver seat making these decisions.
