Yup. I've noticed too how bots can magically swing the match last second. I can swing the match to save it late, but I do it by taking out mechs I've specialized for picking up a few quick kills. The AI does it by coordinating between teams to force the pre-determined outcomes.

Nothing new. I've had bots just stand there and spin to let themselves get killed. Bots have broken off their current target just to hit a real player that isn't really in their line of sight(off to the side of them halfway across the map). The bots will do all kinds of things to win or throw a match. Bots spawning at base when they should be spawning up near the fight. Bots Magically spawning on the point you are just aproaching and maul you down...
