Evidence mounts that Marvel Rivals stealthily places losing players in bot matches, and I know because I'm the loser (www.pcgamer.com)

Yep, they don't care if the player is improving, they just want people to not tilt and quit the game.

And I don't think this will be a PR nightmare, played a lot of the game, mostly quick matches and got 1 bot match, not only some people will not get a bot match easily but some people will not even notice.

I don't feel it'll go anywhere either. Flip side is always whether people are having fun. People having fun rarely complain meaningfully. Meaaaning money still flows.
