Thought the last point read: Coordinate Shenanigans, and thought, "Sounds about right."

Yeah definitely helps to only have one shenanigan at a time

Key takeaways:

Autocannon is nutty good

Manage your agro

Know when to disengage

Make sure someone has a clear stratagem up at any one time, don't waste them overlapping area or duration

Bots have weakspots, exploit them and bring weapons that are good at exploiting them

Something he doesn't mention: smoke can be really really valuable, both for avoiding fights and disengaging

This approach made a huge difference. I went from hating playing against the bots to enjoying it more than the bugs. I also taught this approach to a newbie and he also found it far easier.
