Yo, you could rename the Giant Minefield Demoman to something more awesome like "Giant Omniscient Demoman" or "Omniscient Sticky Demoman". It's not highly descritive since he can't actually look through his stickybombs (nor he actually knows everything), but, we do have "Sir Nukesalot" to a dude throwing oversized smoke bombs.

why tho?
do you know why mvm robots are named after what they do?

...?

no. seriously. this was answered by banshee a long time ago...

*facepalm*

You could just make it like normal MvM. An AoE Sap that stuns robots for a specified amount of time. With a cooldown on the sapper.

an area-of-effect sapper is an upgrade in mvm. not a natural thing. adding an area-of-effect sapper is like offering a new method of trolling; you're just having fun playing the game when suddenly you and most of your other teammates are forced to stop suddenly because a spy managed to place a sapper on ONE of you; effectively allowing RED to destroy all of the robots effortlessly. brilliant - it's a bad idea.

Ideas/Requests:

Unblacklist The Hardy Laurel for robots - it dosen't clip or glitch with the robot models as far as im aware.

Remove the death rage meter - it can be annoying when no players are around or when your all by yourself, or even better, make it so you can regain some meter by damaging tanks

Remove the anti-spam - let the stock sourcemod anti-flood take care of chat spam :3

Giant Robots should be the same class that the player was before, ex, you go scout, then if your to be upgraded to a giant robot, you will be a giant scout

Robots shouldn't be able to pickup health/ammo kits and instead get infinite ammo

Give sentry busters an even 750 health

Stuff:
When the round ends, animations derp out
Players can rename the teams on plr maps

Bugs:
Giant Engie dropping Pyro Gibs
GateBot sound tick being slower

I love the server and I think some of these changes would be for the better!

Hardy Laurel - this is acceptable
Rage Meter - there's a rage meter for a reason; it's to prevent massive DPS being pumped onto the tank from giant robots. regaining some of the rage meter by damaging tanks is extremely overpowered as when you're running low (doesn't matter if the other players are hiding in their spawn so that you die) you can just travel to the other enemy tank and just shoot at it without a problem meaning relentless "cowardly" behaviour from the other team or some other problems and it makes the match boring or troublesome.
Anti-Spam Replacement - don't really have anything to say for this one.
Giant Robots Being The Same Class You Are Playing As - removes a lot of "randomness" from the giant selection system as it'll specifically choose a giant in that category... so; you want everyone to be the "more stronger" giants? (the offensive ones) ...a bit unbalanced, don't you think? also, it makes people kinda... cherry-picky, if you know what I mean.
Robots Unable To Use Map Pickups - well, that's a bit unfair and harsh, innit?
Robots Have Infinity Ammunition - again; unfair and harsh. try not to make this very similar to MVM. it should retain some of the stock TF2 gameplay at least.
Sentry Buster Max Health Capped To 750 - easy deaths
plus the giant engineer spawning pyro gibs is not a bug. some robots don't have any gibs (or just a head gib) so other gibs are used to compensate it. I don't think anyone is willing to make extra gibs. all you have to do is just use your imagination and pretend that the gibs fit the robot, even if they don't. also, a few Pyrovision gibs are used to also compensate for the lack of proper gibs. such gibs also happen with the Giant Medic, Giant Bowman and also the Super Spy. (not sure if he gibs but it's been a long time since I've played so I'm just assuming that) the ability to rename your team's name is intentional, I believe.
I'm also not trying to be very rude if you are taking this comment that way. I'm just highlighting some problems that come with these changes.

my rough translation as to what this person is trying to say:
That would be a good idea. I just want to choose a giant instead of having a random one, please. Thank you!
this is pretty much an immediate no.

Sapping giants should be implemented, and only giants. I think what papyrus is thinking is way too OP.
What I'm Thinking:
Sapped Giants slowed by %10 (Red Tape could have either %5 or %15 slow)
Sapper can be destroyed. But will stop automatically after 10 seconds.
Sapper will have 30 second cooldown. Can be replaced with death or resupply.
When giants are sapped they can use all weapons, with a slight damage penalty (%10?)

(Maybe OP): Giants take more damage (%20?) when sapped?

banshee's technically already explained that adding a sapping feature is considered pointless and annoying, even as a giant from my point of view. why is this thread still getting replies that promote this idea? banshee's explained his point and it should remain that way. end of story.
if it were to be added; they shouldn't be vulnerable to extra damage (+20% damage vulnerability) when sapped because that doesn't make any sense. if the giant's sapped; there's already enough damage to be dealt, and there is no need to add extra damage as it will possibly result in the giant's death in seconds, especially when you think about the 3x damage multiplier that critical hits give.
but since banshee's already explained that having a sapper is not necessary then there is no point to continuing this thread. soon; it'll probably turn into a bloody petition if it doesn't stop.

"-100% increased dmg from explosives"

so this robot is completely impervious to all explosive damage?
-100% increased damage from explosives can be translated to +100% explosive damage resistance now outta date

plus, this thread should just be left and considered done, cause having a sapping feature is basically just turning the mod into more of an MVM mode rather than a simple mod that replaces the payload with a tank and allows for giant robots. we need to have at least some normal tf2 gameplay retained and having a sapping feature doesn't help that.
