MGA bots- Should they be disabled? (Jump Academy)

[HeavenlyDagger]

As someone who uses the market garden arena frequently, I personally find the "MGA bots" irritating and useless, and I believe many others share this opinion. Out of curiosity, I would like to know the general view of the public on this matter. Although I hold no authority, and this poll may amount to nothing, I hope that perhaps if enough people vote then it may bring about some sort of change (perhaps the removal of the bots!).

What are MGA bots?

You should probably include a description of what mga bots are in the op

[AI]

They are soldier bots that roam the market gardening arena on the Jump Academy server's main map and defend themselves via airshots.  But since their aim is fairly accurate, they cannot be approached with weak rocket jumps that do not involve strafing.  Therefore proper jumping (including syncs), quick ambushes, and teamwork are encouraged to defeat them.

Reception is mixed though because they are challenging.  Some players find this aspect particularly fun and focus on attacking the bot, but others tend to become butt hurt because they can't jump directly at it in with an obvious trajectory.

Though I admit that they are fairly easy to kill, I think the main reason why most players dislike them is because they constantly get in the way of other players duelling each other. They also frequently can kill you by spamming rockets at your face whilst this happens.

That is probably due to the airshot minicrits.  I can take that off and see if it helps.

should definitely be moved to the jump academy section of the forums

also they most certainly aren't "useless," though they may be irritating, and as AI mentioned in his vote, they are a work in progress, a.k.a. they aren't finished yet, they are only exhibiting one feature atm

Moved.

I've added a blind spot extending from behind the bot to slightly above it.

However, they will still react to contact and damage.
