    I was in the mood for some blitz tonight and I just hopped onto a server. There was one other person there. I thought "hey, blitz sucks alone. I'll help him out"

    Fast forward to class selection screen. "That's odd, the other person hasn't picked yet, but I can see bots swarming around the moneyball on the overhead map."

    Whatever, I choose my class and run in.

    ROUND 507!

    Bots rush the ball, defenseless without any turrets. It drops in 5 seconds and the game ends.

    I realize what's going on. "Oh crap, this is gonna overwrite my record". So I quit just as the post-game scoreboard is popping up, hoping it won't save the data.
    It saves the data.

    So now it overwrites my previous record of 203 (which I was quite proud of), and now I'm stuck at the top of the leaderboards with a score I obviously didn't achieve fairly.

    I'm sure Uber is aware of the bug where if players don't pick a class the only bots that spawn can't hurt the moneyball. There should be a change that doesn't allow the game to start until players have actually spawned. As a lower priority, it would be nice to have some way for players to reset specific stats from the leaderboards and start fresh.

    tl;dr Fix idle blitz exploit.

    Ow, that sucks. I hope uber can revert that (of course they can... right?) before people assume you intentionally cheated your way to the top.

    We could've kept going but my supports apparently got bored and stopped hacking things. Also yes, that says 83 Jackbot kills :D

    Playing solo blitz as a sin got boring after about 250 waves. I stopped attacking anything that wasn't a jackbot and then around wave 293 went for a bike ride outside.

    That does seem like a slightly annoying exploit - though i don't know what purpose it serves - there's not much to do in blitz except have lv3 rockit turrets EVERYWHERE, some shaveice, and then occasionally kill some jackbots.

    It needs something... more.
