Missions when they're in Balance Testing phase never have a Heavy ran because Heavy is broken as hell, he hardly needs any upgrades to top damage. Forcing classes in a mission is not ideal as you end up crippling other teams who don't have a certain class and ends up creating less play styles.

Overall: These Neon Pyros are heavily useless, there's nothing for them to use their neon on effectively with maybe the exception of the sydney snipers but they still aren't effective. Honestly just make them stock axe pyros, an icon exists for that.


Wave 1: Every time I played this wave this same issue of these minigun Heavies spawning all alone one at a time is very underwhelming, please make the giant soldiers spawn faster with them.

Wave 3: Very anticlimactic end with there only being Giant Rapid Fire Demos with some occasional conch support, I would suggest making the rapid fire demos something more impactful / giving them more support.

Wave 4 or 5: Whichever wave has the Chief Rapid Fire Demo boss, give it a burst fire icon. If you don't want it's icon to stack with the other giant burst fire demos give it demo_burst_crit, this icon is in the game files. If the small bursts have that icon, then remove the _crit from it.

Wave 6: Make the Giant Heavy a regular Giant Heavy, giving a Giant Heavy the brass beast and then not giving it a 1.7 damage bonus just makes it's a downgrade. Move the Giant Medic on the Heavy as well.

So yeah this mission has a lot of issues later on.
Overall:

• Your sentry busters spawn instantly between each other, as soon as one dies or blows up the next instantly comes in, you seriously need to fix this.
  
• The Engineers on waves 5 and 6 have the same issue like the sentry busters do, they spawn instantly and there's no breather. It feels like Tech Mechs where the waves are designed off engies doing their jobs which is bad design as you're putting in a lot of faith but here it feels like they're flat out broken.
  
• Your bot names are the silliest things I've seen, heavily inconsistent with names not having capitals at the start, no spacing, and names that don't clarify what the bot is.
  
• Later waves feel very undercooked, everything just ends up having crits and only feels that way because of how you're giving us way too much money so you try to counter that with adding crits to everything.

Wave 4:

• Wave ends up being 6 minutes, too long.
  
• Your Deflector Heavies need the Deflector and U-Clanka.
  
• Your Blast Vaccinators need their vaccinator icon.
  
• Remove the tank, it ends up becoming a bullet sponge with no support to back it up, this would probably be the best way to cut the wave time.

Wave 5:

• Wave ends up being 8 minutes, too long.
  
• This boss at the start feels like a huge bullet sponge with his 45k HP piling on top of resists from his shield, he is also too slow. Set his movespeed at 0.55 so that way the skullcutter's move speed penalty sets him at 0.5 (The Alibabas also negate the other 10%)
  
• Giant Homewrecker Pyros need a homewrecker icon.
  
• The portion with the giant huo heaters with homewrecker pyros drags on for too long, slice that part of the wave in half.
  
• The rest of the wave feels underwhelming compared to the homewrecker/heater portion. I think you should remove it but I'm not so sure myself.

Wave 6:

• 10 minute long wave. Way too long.
  
• Remove the boss at the start, he is really a bullet sponge and isn't lethal at all, he ends up being very pointless.
  
• Right after the boss this minigiant portion drags and also ends up straggling as well.
  
• Your Fury Pyros fire way too fast and seem to do even more damage against buildings.
  
• Remove everything on the deflector heavy portion.
  
• Remove these Burning Pyros, they're unfun to fight against and are heavily unfair for spies.

The map currently has two missions, Beta Empire Escalation and Beta Metro Malice, pick your poison.

• I do plan to add bombpath holograms.
  
• The map's gimmick needs to be balanced off the gimmick's HP and bot aggro.

Info: mvm_transmission is a gatebot map with a new gimmick to put a new twist to gatebots. Instead of gatebots capturing a control point, they must attack this gate jammer box to open up the gate. The map is a radio broadcast station located near a high techy warehouse. The gatebots in later versions will be known as "Radiobots" attacking a "Gate Signal Jammer"
