    Very simple bot runs in the direction you release it at and shouts taunts while spamming an smg that doesn't actually do damage. the bot has like 50 hp.

    I doubt this could be easily implemented.

    It happens when you pass 1000 posts. You have around 1200.

    I don't think anyone would actually fall for this, and if they did, 50 hp killing a target moving forward literally takes about a quarter of a second. This would be even more useless than smoke grenades.

    Something like that was actually discussed with CoffeeBurrito a while ago. I didn't like it at the time, but having played Dota 2 a lot now, I think something like what Phantom Lancer has could be pretty cool, whereby you go invis but an illusion of you carries on running wherever you were before, so you sort of peel off it.

    That seems too difficult to be worth it.

    Don't get me wrong, it would be cool to have a phantom. You could give it the amount of health that the scout had when he activated the ability (and he could activate a death ragdoll when that health is diminished). He could aim where the scout is aiming and fire phantom bullets in randomly spaced bursts.

    But all of that seems like a challenging implementation for a mediocre and potentially annoying mechanic.

    It was really something we would build onto scout at a later date, instead of adding it in the initial scout overhaul. This is of course assuming some kind of miracle in which coders appear, because as it stands, there are absolutely zero.

    If I finish my studies in time, I plan on jumping on to the code train this summer.

    Our maps could always use more music from the 80's.

    (I tried very hard to match that picture you sent me with the angry tree, so I spent 5 minutes retyping it because of the fucking happy tree friends.)

    Scouts are not so bad since DOT was heavily nerfed. If your still loosing buildings to them on large maps you deserve to loose them.

    On low population maps they can be annoying but, low population simply means you should be playing non-commander maps.

    The only complaint about scunts that holds weight now, is when your team members go scunt and are completely useless(which is most of the time they scunt).
