That shocktrain will need to be nerfed or some other change. The bot with 4 med points will rule the shocktrain terror. Either nerf the weapon or change how it works. Example would be if the initial 1st hit of a shocktrain is into a physical shield straight on. Then it bounces back to the person who shot it causing them damage. Also if it hits a physical shield it stops it from bouncing to other teammates. This would make it a little better to deal with. In champs when there's 2 or more mk2 shocktrain bots..it's crazy difficult to enjoy the game.
Thanks for the update & supply drop idea. Those were nice to see. Also the hangar X should be fun to play with friends in custom games.

Yes that is going to be a major problem.

Possible Shocktrain solutions: Make it so that if it the first shot hits a shield. 1. That shield causes it to bounce back to who shot it. 2. Change how the shot fired travels. If the weapon is a 500m weapon. It should not hit anything else out of the 500m range of the bot that shot it. Meaning it can't hit a guy 500m away then bounce to a guy 600m away from you. 3. Nerf/reduce it's power. It's really a bit ridiculous. 4. Maybe set limits on what weapons can be turned MK2. So there's more control over weapons on the entire platform too.

Shocktrain needs way more of a Nerf than what's being proposed by pix here.

This should be interesting.
Though I'm not clear on taking longer to upgrade. Do you mean the cost of upgrades will go up? Or that the upgrade times will be longer? If it's the latter, then gold will be more useful to speed things along. If you mean it will cost more silver to upgrade items, then that sucks badly. I fear it could mean that, due to the sticker shock on upgrade cost on the recent new items. Like raven & flux etc.

I wish we could pick the components we want for the rewards. I mean, I'm happy that we do get these rewards and that the system is in place. Thank you. But I'd like to be able to pick and choose what components I'm working towards earning.
