No argument, Lion. but some bots are far more effective in certain situations and against certain bots, like rock/paper/scissors.

Out in the open the Vit is useless and the Leo (or Carnage, or Griffon) wins every single time, but if the Vityaz can find cover, and the pilot knows how to effectively use it, it will nearly always destroy the other bot (unless they have extremely good splash damage weapons). Leos can corner shoot with two magnums/pinatas on the side, but they are too slow with the precise adjustments to position required to keep your exposure minimized and it wastes the heavy slot (unless you can shoot over the cover), where a Vit can use 4/5-5/6ths of its total firepower while exposing only 40% of its body to damage (wasting only one light slot).

By far the best successor I have seen to the Vityaz or Golem is the Galahad, which can not only effectively corner shoot with 100% of its weapons, but take its cover with it (though sadly far too many I see simply charge in with it like Leroy Jenkins).
