That's a problem that you're as likely to face with real players as well, sadly. No bots in 2v2 would just drive up the matchamking time and give you the same result, with people complaining about how they're being paired up with bad players all the time. 

Let's not assume players are as mindless as bots.  It is clearly noticable when a player is teamed up with a bot, and even more so in 2v2.  Matching appropriate players seems to be a constant puzzling problem for Plarium with or without the use of bots.  That is the real issue here.  Until then, waiting more than 30 seconds is a far better solution than using bots. 

I run 2 arc 10's maxed on a maxed Zephyr with a maxed pilot and maxed legendary arc range, and damage with maxed legendary Stun range. Total 2v2 beast. So yes do it. Great pairing on the small 2v2 maps.

I recently played a 2v2 with full players and in the first round I dashed to my teammate right away as the enemy charged us dying one by one.. next round the enemy players wised up and stuck together from the start of the match and was able to take that round. This is something that will NOT happen with preprogrammed bots. So whatever nonsense the moderator tries to say can't and shouldn't be taken seriously. The 30 second timer in 2v2 is the problem with matchmaking, it's the problem with all modes matchmaking but they said in the past that they can't change the search timers because that would require a "complete system rework" .. I bet that if they could charge players for a better matchmaking experience, they'd have plenty of options for  to buy better matchmaking
