i see your point, but as for point 1 in OP, it's a bit tricky because i believe most of us spin faster than 286 spins per min.
i've tested the old map you mentioned, and yeah, you need to spin fast to survive
(just realized that HP increases faster while getting bonusses -after clearing a spinner- rather than before clearing a spinner)
i didn't say auto is perfect. i just think auto is a human with "perfect" sense of timing and able to spin 477 spins per min steadily
auto isnt perfect in
Vuvuzela - Huvuzela diff and many other maps
as for the old map you told me, if you view it in skin selection screen, "auto" does better at spinners (because of 1000 spins per min.?)
still, i don't agree with Auto+SpunOut. it might be done in some other way
