I can think of many, starting with the smart pistol and the laughable AI.

Instead of just listing them, why don't you go into detail about why they are "dumbed down"?

The smart pistol has a lock on ability, but it is worthless against Pilots. You have to have them in your sights right in front of you long enough for 3 lock on cycles to get a guaranteed kill. In that time you could have killed a Pilot five times over with any other weapon in the game. You must have been killed by the smart pistol a lot. LOL. Gotta watch your surroundings better. Just remember each time you're raging over a smart pistol death, if that Pilot had a carbine or spitfire LMG instead, you'd have been dead in 1/4 the time.

The AI, I am just going to chalk that up to the typical situation where you are just expecting the AI to be something it's not intended to be. That or you have absolutely 0 experience in MOBA games.

I'd expect the AI not to huddle up in the same corner facing the opposed direction of the action. The smart pistol was just an example the dumb down aspect of the game. I cant ever recall being killed by one. but taking out grunts with it is about as easy and running up and kicking one. It became painfully clear it's not even worth your time to even mess with the grunts. They are pointless fodder, I wont even waste a bullet on one. Besides it's giving away  your position on the map.   The Titain timer is another aspect of the game being dumbed down. You don't have to do anything and you'll get your titan. Which is better to let run in AI mode, as it will get kills for you and you can watch it for pilots attacking it.  Another example of the game being dumb down. This game isn't for the season FPS player, and it's painfully clear. Now if you like it great. But don't act as if it's the second coming.
