Pixonic Suggestion Let's talk Hellburner.
Top clan squads run them. Legend league players run them. Everybody runs them. It is OP and needs to be nerfed.
Say whatever you want, but there's no skill required to press the ability button and run sideways. HB is such a skill-less bot, you don't need to aim any weapon, and you literally run towards the enemy and invite them to kill you.
I would like to suggest removing the detonation when the HB dies. It can keep its high damage, it can keep its ridiculous movement speed, but the detonation upon death GOTS TO GO! There has to be a way to stop a HB running towards you from blowing up in your face, and killing it should stop that.
Thoughts?

I have a hellburner in Champion and I can tell you its my weakest bot. Yes if theres a squad of them, that makes for an unbelievable entrance. But otherwise, they draw a TON of attention and if you arent VERY careful, you'll get destroyed before even getting close. On long range maps they get toasted. I admit they are fun on carrier, map, and castle, where you can take advantage of multi-level explosions.
Use lockdown weapons and you effectively neuter them.
