Isn't the intention of the MCAS is to increase the feel the to the pilot on elevators as the AoA is increased as required by the FARs.
No, MCAS overides controls and creates it own downward pitch when the pitch up gets close to stall.
In certain conditions, with the engines mounted so far forward and upward on the wing, the engine nacelles at certain angles of attack, create lift, pitching the nose up to stall.
MCAS automatically brings the node back down.
