Mega Bots + EM rifles = Stupid no fun games.
So I just played yet another 5v5 game that was totally out of control. The enemy side was all bots. MEGA bots, and all 5 of my deaths were the result of bots w/ dual EM rifles, or EM+Rail combos. Even the bloody SCOUT mechs were rocking the EMs. There were Shadows, running around in stealth mode, firing double EMs (maxed out, w/ maxed pilots and implants) that were one-shotting mechs with perfect accuracy, ON THE RUN. Even my Brickhouse got one-shotted by a scout mech!
Worse, the delay on the EM rifle firing is totally irreverent when used by bots. Because bots share all info including where I am, they begin firing BEFORE part of my mech becomes visible. The moment my side or whatever sicks out from around cover, even before I have ANYY hope of getting a shot off, BAM! Double EM hit, insta-death. And most of the enemy mechs (bots) were all using the EMs. No javs, mortars, pulse etc. FOUR w/ sniper weapons (EMs or EM/Rail combos), and ONE w/ disc guns.
We've been complaining about the stupid AI logic, the crazy bot difficulty, etc for quite some time. To the player base, it really seems like the Devs (or at least CrystalDrew as their rep) keeps saying, "We hear you and we're working on it!", but to us it sounds like the empty promises of some corrupt politician. Like a politician, you promise you'll fix the problem, but your priorities seem to be just new spending, not fixes. NOTHING seems to get fixed! New content gets added for us to buy, but nothing gets FIXED.
Show me I'm wrong. PLEASE, prove to the world that I'm just a nerd-raging, blundering idiot that rages incorrectly. Show us where things (say the bots) have actually been fixed. Then I'll gladly apologize and admit I weas wrong.
