    Please fix the juice machines :(

    More offensive spending options would be great too. Some of the $100 bots aren't even worth the time they take to spawn

    On some servers they disable juice buying, to stop people going into overtime to juice rush...

    So the cash flow just goes straight into upgrades and Lvl 3 Rockit turrets. DERRRRP.

    Then I realised they're fantastic fun, becuase if I am a support I can just constantly run back and forth with $3000 and spawn ENDLESS GAPSHOTS. :D

    Of course, it's null on Steel Peel in which case you're probably just bored out your mind for the rest of the game.

    If you have all that money, consider buying turrets, or upgrading the ones that are currently there.

    If they're all level 3 and all in use (highly unlikely), spawn some bots. A lot of bots. Just keep them coming. Forever. And ever.

    Building turrets won't help bring down the enemy turrets moneyball

    In most cases my time is better spent out in the field than sitting around buying bots, in terms of both fun and effectiveness. Maybe if there was a $250 or $500 option for buying stronger bots...

    I dunno, in many cases a jackbot is just a big gift to the enemy team

    No, but it'll protect your own.

    Upgrade all your skills, upgrade all the turrets you can, and occasionally spawn bots.

    You can't refuse to do this if you WANT something to spend your money on. That doesn't make sense.
    If that was the case, you should title the topic "$3000 and I'm unwilling to spend it."

    I'm talking about 10 minutes into the game, when my skills are all upgraded, the enemy has lv3 rockits up, and our team just isn't able to push in for the win

    Juice is your counter to 3rd level RockIt turrets. Its the only way to bring them down with a babysitting support. Juice has a 1 minute cooldown. Spam juice if you have so much money.

    First off your subject line and opening sentence make absolute no sense at all. Secondly it sounds like you are playing with and/or against players that don't know exactly what to do yet. The way you are making it sound is as "My team is no good. Give me something where I can single-handedly take out the other team, but not juice."
    Bouncers are offensive - If there are no Pros on the floor it will go after turrets.
    Gremlins are offensive - Same as the Bouncers
    Gapshot are offensive - They are better, walking Longshot turrets. These will destroy turrets.
    Buzzers are offensive - Ehh they are a bit iffy. I haven't really got to see how they work on the PC.

    If anything die and switch to another class. Either upgrade the other Pro or spawn bots.

    Switching pros seems really bad unless there's like a sniper that's really dominating and you have no snipers of your own or assassins. Seriously, just spam juice if you're making too much money. Or, alternatively play on normal ruleset servers.

    How would switching Pros be bad?

    How about this I am a Sniper and my team is pushed to the enemy base but can't break the defenses. I, for a moment, no longer need to control the Pros. While my team keeps forward control I switch to Support. I spawn a bunch of Gapshots, the Gapshots break their defenses, my team pushes in, I buy juice, I suicide shotgun the Moneyball. A juiced shotgun alone can bring the Moneyball to at least half health. I die and switch back.

    I'm of the opinion the only bot worth spawning are bouncers. Everything else is either worthless, does nothing, or is too easy to kill. Or a combination of those. Gap Shots are EXTREMELY easy to kill regardless if they're being escorted. I think it takes like 3 grenades from the Assault alone.

    Bouncers spam however, is LOLz on Spunky Cola when you spawn them in addition to the map spawning them.

    That's why the first line of the OP is "Please fix the juice machines :("

    Most of the time, it just won't let me use them. I stand or shuffle around in front of them mashing the "buy" key. Sometimes it eventually works, but usually I just get killed trying

    I got the impression that this was a common bug, but maybe it doesn't affect everyone..

    Lmao Gapshots may be weak but they will destroy any turret from the safety of you base. Go ahead play support, spawn a few gapshots watch how many turret kills you'll get. My third ever game on the PC I played Support, spawned Gapshots and was getting turret kills left and right.

    I guess this is where I leave a little MNC vet tip: If you walk/stand/wiggle/somekind of movement if front of a gapshot it will stop going forward, until you move, and you can even push them backwards. Have you ever seen three gapshots walking next to each other? Have you ever encountered 3 overhealed gapshots stop shooting at turrets to aim right at you and just blast you away?

    Right, that's a great exploit to take advantage of lol. But you can't just spawn them, leave them alone and expect them to do anything when a random Gunner mortar owns their face.

    1: Switch to Support.
    2: Spawn infinite Gapshots.
    3: Remind the enemy team of the parable of the Water and the Jetski.

    Alternately

    1: Switch to Assassin.
    2: Spawn infinite Gremlins.
    3: Shroooooooken distracted enemies.

    You're welcome.
