If it's possible to track the average of % stay on the last 20 games, why can't you guys track the average K:D on the last 20 games, or create a new variable to track # of times kicked. I realize it would involve some extra coding, but it can't be that above and beyond what you already have in place.

I've never played the EU bot but I wondering be surprised by that at all - us American's are really stupid on average. It is really bad though, play the NA bot more and see for yourself. I totally agree with the idea of having tiered bots when the player base is larger - you're absolutely right that it won't work atm. The good thing, however, is that the number of extreme noobs is a small slice of the current active player base - my guess is around 10%, so games should still fill up quickly even if noobs are forced to stay on qualify.

On a complete side note, I think you guys should consider the option for players sitting on the game bot (before launch) to initiate a vote to launch a game of 4v4, 3v3, etc. You can even let it forfeit the rank stats, or keep them. But on late nights when things are slow, it would really help.
Thoughts?
