Mauga Bot Cheating (vs AI and Custom Games)

I remember this happening with Baptiste bot in Season 1 to around Season 3 also.

But this is way worse and I actually had my first loss in a while, due to Mauga bot cheating (not looking at me when shooting, yet still hitting me).

Multiple people are confused in-game by the Mauga bot dominating and cheating, please fix…

FDSC3R Replay code: Lost game, only due to Mauga bot being a problem with his cheating aim.

This link shows it more better though and it’s more short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qScPshtjusQ

Honestly devs, when you create a new bot, why don’t you playtest it first to make sure it works and isn’t broken?

Also off-topic: The bug on Samoa with the bots navigating and being stuck in spawn is still broken (Replay Code: 1st round XM43EV), as well as their behaviour still being bugged since Season 1, when they swap to different characters, which mixes and confuses the AI of the character, due to it thinking it’s the previous character.

E.g. Reinhardt bot swaps to Winston bot, Winston bot now uses his leap like a charge and ends up falling off the edge, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbV4S1o7wTA

Oh, and how could I forget?
The bots looking up at the sky, jumping and not shooting (thrower simulator much?)

And I’ve never seen them jump by default, so how are they jumping and stupidly, when they’re not programmed to?

I can see why PvE was abandoned now, like why add new bots if you ain’t going to fix their current behaviour?

You managed to fix the headshot bug (bots being unable to headshot since 2018/Retribution OW1) in this game, but not the current bot issues?

Oh and finally, bots finally have proper collision now, so you can block them, which wasn’t the case a few seasons back.
I can’t even tell if that’s a bug or not now, but I’m glad that’s one way they finally play fairly.

I have just come from an AI Lethal match where Mauga, was facing 180 degrees AWAY from me and was hitting me 100% of his shots. Even if he has LOS on you, he’s an aimbot but this was beyond ridiculous. I have captured the footage as proof if needed. Please address this Blizzard. Why has this aimbot been added to AI but still no Lifeweaver, Roadhog or Illari?

Replay Code is E45SXC. Incident happens between 3:00 and 3:15
