there are various obstructions homing missiles can run into - not just walls right near you. for example, on canyon, by standing near one of the pillars, but not behind it, you can still sometimes intercept a fair number of missiles, unless they launch away from the pillar. also, bridges directly between you and the missile user and above you are good shields. but homing missiles are especially effective - usually - because those bots are usually configured as knife fighters. they need to close to deal damage. i am not good at that, and so I don't. i can easily stay ouside of a missile bot's reach, and unless several of the enemy are using them, there is almost always at least one bot which can be hit from outside their range. and unless they know which bot I am, and are paying attention for when i slip in and out of their range, they won't target me in the first place.
