Adding the ability to manually spawn Jackbots

Okay, I know this would have to be worked out somehow. Got any suggestions for how to make it fair if Uber implements this?

Re: Adding the ability to spawn Jackbots

make it like an annihilator button?

Have it cost $3000

You do realize that you are essentially giving the other team $65 per member? The Jackbot is little more than a giant pinata anyway.

Like I suggested, Uber would have to work it in somehow.

Jackpots are nothing more than a source of juice/money for the other team. Spawning them would be useless, unless perhaps...the ones that you summon move faster (like in Blitz). The downside to that would be the game may get a little too confusing to the noobies...

The jackbot can only ever badly damage the teams that completely ignore it while the enemy team escorts it the the moneyball.

Assuming the enemy team has a halfway competent assassin, your spawned jackbot would get about 1/2 across the field before being katana'd to death. The jackbot is far too slow and gets hung up on the most trivial of obstacles, from a firebase to slimbots. The presence of a pro can sometimes cause it to come to a grinding halt.


They need a speed increase, AI tweak, damage resistance, and grapple immunity if they want to be any more valuable than a bouncer. A little much.

W00T!!!!! Implemented.

Gice em the ability to grapple pros. That'd be awesome.

Isn't enough that Bouncer can Grapple you? I mean If Jackbot WOULD Grapple you 5 ton robot you would be dead.... in less than 5 sec.

"Woah, there go a pair of legs! Still bleeding, too. Wow that's gory. .... hey, where'd my legs go? D:"

it would cost 400.000 hitpoints, to be grappled, for 12 seconds


ontopic, im against, jackbot = a big pile of money for the other team
