Just some random stuff that might improve the game: -Meleeing bots should give only 4% of your juice meter per whack. -Speed pickups only give you a speed boost, and not the actual endorsement, as to make the speed endorsement more worthwhile. -Instead of pro specific bots, all pros should be able to spawn any bot from bot spawns; they would select them from a menu like when you select a turret to build from a turret node. Prices would be like this: Scramblers=$50 Gremlins=$75 Buzzers=$75 Bouncers=$125 Gapshots=$125 Jackbot= $400, but causes both bot spawners to be inactive for 30 seconds. -Friendly Shave-Ice turrets should extinguish afterburn on teammates. -Juice machines should be on a global 60 second timer. -An ejector that affects the spawn ring, which is placed inside each spawn, costs $0 and has a 30 second cool down. -Bots are the only thing that resets the Moneyball shield recharge timer. -Scramblers should have a slow down effect similar to a Shave-Ice, have a speed buff, and it's melee attack should completely drain your skills and stop skill regeneration for a couple seconds. -Longshot projectiles should move much faster and deal slightly more damage. This is all I've got for now, I'll add more as new ideas come to mind.
As far as I know once you hit Gold with the pickups that's as fast as you can go, seems a bit more balanced than a boost for every one you snag
Wait, if Gapshots and Bouncers are BOTH $125, what would you do to spawn one or the other? Like, would there be two Bot spawns next to each other like in Uncle Tully's?
Well, I had the idea that using the bot spawners would open a menu, like when your buying a turret. And I suppose you could swap the prices of buzzers and scramblers.
making it so that bots are the only thing that can keep the ball down would be detrimental in my opinion. i do think the ball timer should be different for each map. it should be just long enough so that a single assassin can not keep the ball down by themselves. that would make a lot more teamwork regarding keeping the ball down.
I like the bot idea and the spawn ring ejector idea and also love the shave ice idea but if you are standing between two 3.3 shaveice turret and a tank is burning you what happens
