Who actually programmed the Skial bots?

I realize that Valve made the bots, but does Skial have any special person that also fixes the bots to fit the Skial standards? Because I'm having a bit of a problem with trying to earn AP by playing on servers with bots, when 2 medics are healing one pyro that won't move at all, one engy building on the first point on Badwater when the BLU team already has passed the second-last point (thus the position isn't even good for spawn camping) and the only one besides me who's attacking the payload is an engy with a pomson and no sentry up.

If there are any Skial programmers, could you try to fix at least engys not doing their jobs?

i am pretty sure valve programmed them. bottiger just edit things like weapons and spawn and stuff. im not exactly sure but im pretty sure that is how it is.

complain to valve. Bottiger is the only programmer and he is very busy, there is no doubt in my mind he couldn't re-program them himself. i just don't think he has the time nor a high priority. i would think attempting to re-program them to be perfect would take a lot of time. I personally haven't had any problems with them. Besides the fact they build in the most random locations.

you can try to bring it up with him, i could be wrong and he could of programmed them all himself. but i am pretty sure the bots are build in by valve
 
The nav file for badwater is downloaded when you download the server package. The AI is also programmed by Valve. Bots have always had issues like this and I don't think it's something we could even fix since it's part of the compiled binaries. Valve probably doesn't think of it as priority since they would rather fix bugs that effect PvP and not bots. They work well enough in most cases and on most maps.
