    Hey guys after playing a lot of MNC I've realized that throughout about half of my matches I level up my class' skills all the way and most of the turrets in the base. I think that a great feature to add would be the ability to give teammates money. I don't know if this could be done in an update but here is how I think it could/should work;
    In your skills upgrade screen you could have the option to push the right stick in to give a teammate money. I think $25 dollars a click would be good. Just my thoughts on this feature if it could be done. Give me your thoughts on it.

    Thanks. The whole time I was playing last night I was telling my friends "I wish I could give you guys some money" when they both had less than $300 and I had close to $1000.

    Definitely a good idea, would be nice to give money to assassins or tanks to spawn bots after your fully built. I've also had moments where I'm doing well away from the base and don't die all game and I have over a thousand dollars. At times like those giving money to my teammates seems like a really good option. Or I could just statwhore and go buy some more juice.

    I am very on the fence. Having you stuck with your money is GOOD. It forces you to upgrade your turrets and build bots as well as use hazards. If people could just shove off their cash then turrets would be further neglected because people would rather pawn off their cash then be smart.

    ...or we could fill sacks with coins and drop them on the enemy teams heads! OR they can add a catapult that lets you shower gold on the enemies base! if it hits them they die if it doesn't FREE MONEY! that's what i call balance.

    This is a a neutral idea. Not sure how I feel about it... but leaning towards no.

    On the one hand, money is suppose to reward you for being good at your class. Giving your teammates money could upset the balance of the game since one really good player will upgrade his team as oppose to them earning it on their own.

    Like if there is only 1 gut left at the base, he needs to build turrets ASAP since the other team is coming, so his team funnels to him all their money and he builds an arsenal.

    I'm against this because it will lead to tactics where a team stacks cash on one player at the start of a match. You want to deal with a rank 3.3 firebase in the first minute of the game?

    This was actually an original idea, but it ended up getting cut because it was too imbalanced.

    Alas my fiends but your forgetting that 99% of players are selfish dickfucks that would rather use their mother as jackbot bait than give team mates money and help out.

    I support this.

    This would be a really, really bad idea. It would be horrifically imbalancing. It is very easy to get $100 or so in 1 life. What you would see if you implemented this would be funneling cash for juice buys and non-stop juice raids on the bases. Any team that didn't do this would lose.

    As for players being selfish idiots, yes that is true. However, it would even further imbalance the teams and whichever team was not willing to pool for juice and high level rocket turrets would lose very quickly. With cash pooling vs a good team you are looking at a juiced assassin wiping out both rocket turrets within the first minute.

    Wouldn't this just make the game too much like DotA?
