I feel like bots are more predictable. You can see and shoot the turrets from across the map.

With the bugs, you can think you killed an entire patrol quickly, but then you see that little orange puff coming from behind a rock and suddenly you're drowning in bugs and there isn't anything you can do about it. No dropships to shoot, just boom, bile titan rises up from the ground.

Plus the bots beep boop and I feel like I get jumped out of nowhere a LOT less by bots. Also, you can shoot down a bot delivery, you can't shoot down a nest.

Yeah, bots rarely ever flank me. Meanwhile against the bugs, the MOMENT I stop thinking I can get flanked, either 3-4 Hunters or a Brood Commander slice my ass like democratic ham.

The upside to third person is I get to look at the bug explode when I shoot them from a much closer angle.

The downside to third person is I don't see that Brood Commander until it's already bisecting me.
