I'd also like an explanation about bots.

1. WHY do they often not appear on the map, but suddenly appear where you least expect them, even if you check the map and see nothing? Most of the time, you decide to move and miraculously the bot appears, and you're dead.

2. Why do bots shoot 360 degrees?: many times, too often, even if you arrive behind a bot or from the side, you still get hit by whatever weapon they have. Let me explain: I surged up from behind a bot, armed with a savant, even though I blocked it with the surge ability, and it managed to lock on and hit me. How did it manage to hit me when I was behind it and blocked it?

3. Arriving from next to the bot and still being hit by a bot?

I think this situation has happened to many players.

4. Why did I die after I killed the BOT? I explain, even though I killed the BOT, I died a few seconds after the BOT died, and I was already going in another direction. The BOT didn't have any special abilities that would lead me to think it had a secret weapon POST DEATH...

5. WHY are the BOTS always behind, or beside, my MECH, preventing me from re-entering or moving?, often causing my MECH to die.

6. Why are you pushed by the BOTS? COULDN'T THEY CHANGE THEIR PATH? WHY DO THEY HAVE TO PASS IN MY TRAJECTORY? I don't understand if the game is focused on letting the BOTS play, or us humans.

7. WHY DO BOTS APPEAR IN THE RESULTS? VERY OFTEN THEY TAKE THE TOP 2 POSITIONS, AND SOMETIMES, THEY ARE THE TOP 3 WINNERS? SHOULDN'T THEY APPEAR IN THE RESULTS AND STEAL SCORES FROM REAL PLAYERS...

8 WHY do my team bots run around in circles and get killed like butter, while in other matches they are aggressive and win on their own?

CONCLUSION...BOTS ARE USED TO DIRECT GAMES TOWARD VICTORY OR DEFEAT, DEPENDING ON WHO YOUR OPPONENT IS... IF THEY PAY OR NOT... You can draw your own conclusions.

BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT, WITHOUT ANY VALID AND TRUE EXPLANATIONS, THIS IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION.

Unfortunately, you can't post videos here on the forum. THERE ARE COUNTLESS VIDEOS OF THIS KIND, AND NOT HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLISH IT makes it pointless to register...

But this behavior isn't occasional; it's been happening for months now... and it makes you lose your patience. Combined with countless other problems, as we all know, with subscription management, it makes playing MECH ARENA unnerving.

Man.. If you're saying this it proves that you didn't play game at all

I understand, maybe you're blinded by the offers, or you're not paying attention. I've been in Plarium for 10 years, and I've seen unfairness in all their games. I'VE BEEN IN MECH ARENA FOR 3 YEARS, and these anomalies have been around for 2 years, or maybe you don't know how to distinguish a BOT from a HUMAN player.

Brother I was talking to Crystal Drew, I was replying to his message where he requested proof of such bot behavior. With your statement above I can only agree

Sorry, kid, I misunderstood...

Anyway, another serious problem for those watching and playing arises when the bot has to pass. It can't go around you, and it just stands there. You have to move if you want it to pass. Otherwise, it stays there or behind you like a tree until you move. So, there are two problems. Some stay there, and they're the ones that prevent you from getting back to cover. Others, however, push you. But since the priority is improving the AI, and this would be the priority in my opinion, we should make the bots so intelligent that they can plot a different path, and not plot a path that gets in the way of their human companion.😁

Seems to be that the a.i. bots are tuned to cheat people out of winning. In my experience, Win/Loss rates are screwed and controlled by the developers abusing the a.i. bot system.

So, the question to you is, are you playing on PC or mobile? 

I asked about you playing on PC or mobile because I've experienced a delay when playing on PC that I do not experience on mobile - regularly.

That's with using the same wireless router for both and a well built gaming PC vs an i11 phone.

Another frustrating thing about the A I Bots is that I have seen multiple times a bot stop attacking another bot only to fire at 

a.i. bots are tuned to control Win/Loss rates.

Here's another weird ally bot sabotaging tactic that is frustrating. If you happen to start with a medium speed mech in CPC and head towards a control point, any bot running towards it with you will continuously turn to block you. You'd think the logical thing would be for it to run in a straight line to the control point, but nope :-).

Multiple "team" ai bots will go out of it's way to block and slow you from getting to the first CPC point faster than the other team. The game doesn't want you to have fun or win unless you purchase it.

Do you think that if you purchase something, bots will become more loyal to you? Sounds like an absolute gibberish...

Sounds less gibberish than what you just said.. less than anything you've ever said lol

Thank you for taking the time to reply, but please take into consideration the main point of this sub-topic - Bots run in such a way as to block the player mech multiple times while moving towards the first control point. Whether they do so deliberately or not isn't really the point, as far as I'm concerned, but it should be fixed. The fix for this particular issue should be simple - make them head towards this first objective using the shortest path.

Hello! I've raised this question within a team recently, and I regret to inform you that, unfortunately, it's a part of the technical features and conventions of our game. At this very moment, we don't have a fix for bots blocking your way. I will inform you if any kind of fix is coming in the future.
