Submission Name: Sketchy Swing
-//- Type : Advanced Mission
Reason: (attempted) Bugfix.
Changelog: The tanks on Wave 7, despite bugtesting during main contest phase, still fall through hatch at Speed 135. Dropped to 120, I tested it again, but given how it worked before in singleplayer and other tests, but broke at some point with mass public testing, I still wouldn't put all the odds in the world on it not breaking again.

P.S. I picked up version from github, so the icons should already be standardized.
P.P.S. Once you have enough stats of competion time/success rate of the missions, throw them at me, there were already reports of this mission being on harder/longer side, and I have ideas to alleviate that but I don't want to act with uncertain data.

Last minute crutch
all of these needed for mission to pass and no retest
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK

Fixed Snipers on W2
Unstacked Crit Icons on W7
gut a subwave on W8 to keep it closer to 30 minutes

Can this mess get any more messier

BT done big oof to this mission

Names added for most robots
Fixed Stickybomb demos going full "You Spin Me Round" mode
W3 - cut 3 giants scouts
W4 - cut the last subwave, wave now edns on tank+gauntlet push
W5 - pyro squads now tied to WaitForAllDead, so it shouldn't be BT problematic
W6 - slight nerfs to all robots all over the board, stats on giants specifically, and Tommies are Easy now
W6 - cut all TotalCounts of small robot subwaves by a third (let's hope this doesn't horrifically backfire in some way)

P.S. Night shift, if you want to run this, you need 2 judges to pass this shite so

ok nvm serious update 2
changed W3 pacing to be more forgiving

thanks pubs for that

let's hope it doesn't drag on like attempts before

Big and Mean

it's 1:37 here and I still want to test it with pubs
TL;DR
pyros on W1 shouldn't hang

W2 a bit easier now since crits are gone, and so are giant meds

W3 timing reworked completely to be what it should've been day 1 cause I'm an idiot
Giant Pyro walks faster

W4 : bots not tied to giant cut to 3/4 so wave doesn't get over 5minute mark

W5: Removed shield off sco-res medics

W7: changed last subwave to be a bit faster, and transition a bit more sharply to grab people's attention

W8: fixed banner bug

Oh uh
Yea I am not dead (am pretty close morally but what can you do)

> Decreased Speed on MiniBoss chip robot by 33% (to 100% aka pyro/engi/sniper speed)
> Renamed Soldipers to Not-So-Direct-Hit Snipers [apparently that portmanteau wasn't good enough]

> W1: Cut 3 Dragon Fury Pyros
> W1: Cut 1 pyro Giant that relied on MaxActive 1 and staggered the wave

> W2: Removed 2nd tank (money from it went to 1st tank so it should make it easier that way too)
> W2: Replaced all Conch soldiers with Burst Fires (yes, I axed double damage of template)

> W3: Halved Shortstop count, rejigged some money to giants
> W3: Added extra 12-16 seconds of WaitBeforeStarting to Major Leagues/Super Scouts
> W3: Halved TotalCount on all Giant Pyro (now it's 4 giants, two per type)

> W5: Removed 6 pyros and 12 frogs to keep wave from dragging on much (money rejigged to earlier in wave)

> W7: Decreased speed of Tanks to 135, they don't fall through hatch anymore, and decrease dps req by 10%
> W7: Decreased spawnrate of Super Scouts by 33% (2 every 5s to 2 every 7.5s)
> W7: Cut 18 scouts from end of the wave

> W8: Decreased TotalCount by a 1/4-1/3
> W8: Made boss spawn sounds louder
> W8: Introduced proper heavy_deflector_giant.vmt because it's all gettin' trunkated now

If it is possible, delaying judging/pre-judging till this weekend so I can get on

Map Issues

Is nav packed into the map? It gives our servers some small issues (nothing major, just good to know for next time we play the map)
The bomb falls through on right side stairs, making that side hold even easier (compared to the fact it's a very small choke already).

All/Multiple Waves

Overall you seem to spam 22 robots (if not more if server allowed) at once, that stresses server, causes inconsistent timing all over the places.

W1

1st part of wave: only melee spam is overly easy, a sentry and a single crowd control clear it without issues.

W2

Cut a lot of pyros off 2nd part of wave.
Cut some demoknights off 1st part of wave.
Overall way harder compared to W1, same level of spam, but noticeably more dangerous bots.

Oh fak I forgot to update it or something

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK

TL;DR nerfed W4-6
helped a little bit extra timing here and there so you shouldn't be pushed much off front
(if that won't help I will start working at TotalCounts for sure)
and cut boss by like 15k to be safe

... I took me three weeks to upload, I am a big dumb

Restrictions:
Have me on judging
No Heavy

W1
Remove one giant SMG sniper.
Wave felt a little bit too slow/easy for advanced, only a little though.

W2
Extraneous StartWaveOutput causing arrows to stay active.
Drop giant Med off the heavy.
Having high SpawnCount soldiers and Giant Heavy along is still quite punishing. Probably tone that down.
Wave starts to be just a bit too long if you pushed past B.

W3
Nerf the first tanks slightly
Remove one push deflector off end of the wave, it gets way too long if you pushed even to A.

W4
This got over 5 minutes even without us losing any gates.

W5
This gets over 5 minutes again, remove 2 of burstfires off end of the wave.

W6
Leave this wave in. Seriously. Also try to slip in Epic Games Store in that joke.

W7
Remove 2-4 Giant Bowmen/Crit Heavies off wave end.

W8
Is a shitfest at places, way too long. Check the demo for everything on this wave.

Multiple Waves
Engineers shouldn't spawn in pairs, make them spawn only one at a time.

W1
Pacing seems to be... off. Things come slowly and bunched up. It took us almost 6 minutes to beat the wave, despite us being just outside of the front hold.

W2
Put spies as Support Limited. Requiring people to kill them may require scouring all over the map for that one last spy

W3
Remove one tank. I don't see the point in making them spawn inside each other, it only favours Pyro more (arguably the best tank buster) and punishes team compositions without him.
The boss felt a bit too weak, compared to all the support came with it. Heavies, combined with Conch and vaccinators destroy teams. Heal on Kill on heavies isn't needed either, they come with Conch already?

W4
End of wave drags too much on, remove FoS bunches/uber medics.

W5
The baseball support either must indicate it does all it does (bleed, mark on death) or don't do that.
The last subwave can be gut, end of wave drags on too much again.

W6
Armor piercing and crits shouldn't go on same robot (Enforcer).
Enforcer spies need an icon.
Wave drags on for way too much again.
Wave also throws way way more robots at once, causing us to fall back all the way to the hatch
