a question about buying bots

QFT!

Stick together.

K?

Gunners, Assaults, and Tanks don't have problems with Bouncers. I'm sure Assassins don't either. That leaves Support and Sniper.

I would imagine snipers can double grapple them to death as well.
So just supports.

No class really has a problem with Bouncers by them selves. Its a pair of bouncers that can give trouble to certain class's.

Gunners, Assaults, Assassins, Tanks can deal with 2 or even 3 no problem.

Gunner: Grapple 1, Weapon grapple + Stomp the other
Assault: Charge 3 1st, nade grapple, hover finish 2nd, or head crab.
Assassin: grapple 1st, blind 2nd
Tanks: Product nade + Rail grapple

Supports get the short end of the stick because of one grapple, and no disable skill. Not to mention their one grapple isnt a OHK on bouncers, its about 50%. But honesly a support has his FB, Hacked Turrets, or the guy hes over healing. If hes not near one of those 3, he deserves to die.

Snipers can ice trap grapple juggle, buy time and 80% are up somewhere the bounchers cant reach anyways.

I think the big problem is like Fisch said, no one stays together, everyones doing their own thing. And half the team doesnt want to blow a grapple cooldown for some reason, or just doesn't know it kills bots easily.

Even when playing LOLSMG sniper, you never have issues with Bouncers. 2 grapples takes the steam out of them, both recharge fairly quickly, and the SMG can finish what's left.


If you've upgraded the skill grapple, the bouncers get sent flying. You can put them in places they'll never be able to get to normally (like spawn ring, etc.)

I can't honestly remember the last time i died to a bouncer. its in a similar boat as lazer blazers imo. You only die to them when you do dumb moves.

Bouncers may not always kill you but they make you stop what you are doing to deal with them.

You have such weird ideas about how this game works. Supports can do some serious damage if not held in check. The shotgun is one of, if not the most powerful single shot weapon in the game, short of the sniper rifle's headshot. His airstrikes can take out firebases faster than anything short of an ejector, one hit kill nearly anything, and wipe groups of bots, do significant damage to the lighter turrets and moneyball alike. They have the third highest health in the game with their fully upgraded passive, and a regen upgrade before that, unless I'm mistaken. Let a good support pick up three speed boots and you may have hell to pay, my friend.

Gremlins are useless if there's a tank on the other team. The cash is better spent on juice. Otherwise, during a push they make a great distraction. But juice still does a better job - just not on a budget.
