As a new week begins, here are a couple of screenshots I took earlier this morning,
The first shows the scoreboard after I have played a couple of match's against the bots - no humans present. You will see that only points have been collected and no other stats.
You will also see that the guy in 22nd spot on the leaderboard has the same issue.!

The second screenshot is after playing another match after a human player joined, you will see that all the stats for that round were collected and added to my earlier "points only" total.

Surely this means that peoples stats end up looking screwed up.
I can understand why the old rule of having another human in a match was necessary in the days before the bots came along, otherwise someone could have simply captured control points against no opposition and scored points unfairly.
Now with the bots it is a different situation, if that same rule is applied. If I played around in Last Stand Mode against the bots without another human playing on my team I would score no points. But if a human joins the match even a few seconds before the match ends I would receive full points / stats, it doesn't really make sense.
The other thing to take into consideration is the fact that it is so hard to find a populated server at certain times of the day. So in the case of any new players who want to play and earn points to "rank up", there will be no point in joining any bot only servers (if no other human is present) as they will not be able to score any points. So for this reason alone it would make sense to not apply the old rule to Bot Servers especially as we are always trying to encourage new players with Steam Sales etc....
