    I think it would be a good idea to swap the Scramblers and the Gapshots. It would balance the classes a bit, because the Support needs a nerf, and this would help it. Support would spawn bots that actually are support bots, which would add more synergy to his class, and snipers would spawn long-range bots that fit the whole "sniping" role more. What do you guys think?

    Also, is there any way to attach a pole to threads? Or is that only accessible by admins?

    I like this idea, but I think they need to improve scramblers first, they are too weak.

    Personally, I think their only problem is their movement speed. If they moved in fast, but also stayed behind a mob of blackjacks if they could, they would get their aura to trigger more often.

    Give scramblers a grapple attack?

    While I'm inclined to agree, the gap shot remains as one of the most useful bots in the game which is supplemented by the Support being the most useful pro in the game (fact).

    Weird thing is, I don't really see why not switch them outside of the support getting the crappy end of the deal. In reality, every pro spawns a bot similar to their design (minus the gunner...kinda dropped the ball there uber). The scramble is a support type bot while the gap shot is long range offensive.

    I would like to also see the scrambler improved. That and a gun bot for gunners. Something on the lines of mobile turret but better than a Blackjack.

    Id say maybe increase the scramblers range. Im talking like 1/5th of a metre or something?

    Or spawn more than one of them per spawn, like gremlins.

    But switching them wouldn't be the worst thing to happen, would probably balance them and stop gapshot spam.

    Sniper is strong enough, I don't see why he should get a better bot.

    I agree the scrambler should change but not switch because
    ;)
    Either adding another scrambler or giving him a health buff seem like the best idea.

    As a avid lvl99 Support player. I do actually agree they should be swapped.
    Supports can level a base themselves by a well placed Firebase (easy to take out but alot of idiots just don't think about attack strategys). Then if killed spawn some Gapshots to help take out their towers AND then finish their turrets off with level 3 Airstrikes.

    I tend to see Snipers base defending and mid-map killing. Nothing too much on offense - which they shouldn't but they should be able to help out more.

    Snipers SHOULD get Gapshots.
    Supports should get a updated Scatterbot. Maybe "Green" or "Brown" Blitz version (speed, attack, armor). I would say "Brown-Blitz" stats but with "Green-Blitz" health.
    When I say this, play Blitz and wait until you get the Green and Brown bots - I am saying the Support spawns the Scatterbot in those stats (but visuallys stays the same).

    I just figured that the Support needed the crappy end of the deal. Most people agree that if they could choose one overpowered class, it would be the support. Maybe this could help balance it out a bit.

    Also, shouldn't the "most useful pro" NOT get the "most useful bots"?

    Scatterbots suit the Support alot better, when I gave a all class run when I first got the game I was kind of WTF at Sniper -> Scatterbot and Support -> Gapshot
    They should of been swapped. I think they did this for balance reasons based upon THEIR testing. However once you have 1000's of players you get alot more playstyles inwhich can prove a class to become OP to the general player population. A support is dead against equal-better skilled Gunners and Assaults - however meeting up with some doesn't happen too much.

    So I think this should happen to overall balace the general players skill. This would also require slightly different attack strategys for Supports.

    Now to not make them alot different from Blitz mode use the idea I said (make them the Green or Purple version of Scatter bot {I said Orange, I meant purple}) and that would make them better without overpowering them.
