Bot

Bots Jester and Merlin.

Bots are AI-controlled non-player characters that can assist or oppose the player in a match. In offline matches, their skill level is based on their difficulty setting.

A player can play a game with just bots, or bots can fill in spots of dropped players in online matchmaking (excluding competitive matchmaking).
