RE: 250 Battles, 245 against bots.
Oooh okay, that's something that I didn't understand well, sorry. How are the bots currently working? I commented on @davemccoy's comment an idea on how they could work better, and not as erratic (here's the link to the comment). @saydie stated the same, bots using foundation summoners in Gold League is not adequate.
In modern, the bots won't appear as often as more humans are playing. But they have to be adequately equipped with cards and strategy to not make them "easy" targets, and hence to farm SPS.
As I said, I'm a fan of brackets, and I'm very sure that the bots can be fine-tuned towards a better performance that will allow that, to a balance of 50/50 or 60/40 chance of winning against a bot. But not 80/20 anymore, nor 20/80 :-D
It's a bit more complicated than just aiming for a win percentage. We can build bots you'd never beat that hold a 50% win rating. We actually did this early on. The bots are much more dynamic now and we can keep tweaking and adjusting them over time. Originally we had nothing between "free win" and "instant loss" and now there's much more granularity. There's some difficulty in catering to players with drastically different skill levels as well, so after 3700 you're basically always playing the hardest bots, we put some restrictions so you aren't just playing heloise bots every time, but it's ultimately a balancing act. What's easy to you may be hard to someone else and if you can beat a bot every time and I lose to it every time, that's still a 50% win rate. All in all, it's more complicated and complex than just aiming for a number. Bots should be adapting over time to become harder or softer based on rating. Just submit the feedback and we'll compare results/notes and make adjustments where we can.

Using Foundation Archons and units can work, so long that the team tweaked their level and stats to be adequate for the bracket or rating that they were being played by the bots. The team can do it in their end since they were working with ghost cards and have actually done it before since there used to be a time where modern liquidity bots can use level 6 or 8 foundation Archons.
