In gold tier matches you will find that you run out of bots quickly. The fifth slot is more as a backup anyways, if you just need one more bot to win the battle, you have it, and if you need to switch strategies on the fly, recapture a home beacon, or eliminate an enemy attacking your base, you have an extra bot. Also, the inital rush for me is more about capping the home beacons, if the two home beacons are not capping within one or two minutes you know that you have a team of Leeroy Jenkins. This game is more about beacon/area control than 1v1 duels with the enemy.
