2 Thug Masterminds

So, I made a second account and I made a thugs/storm MM to go with my higher level Thugs/Dark MM. It is very cool how the Thug Buffs stack albeit not entirely "fair" imo? I think for instance Bots should FF other bots? They should make it where each same set interacts like this imho. It might not even be intentional? Maybe they just dont know how to stop it lol.

I would think it is more likely that they don't know how to stop it than anything else. I can't see why they would add it as part of a deliberate design, and it does seem like one of those things that might be a little complex to change.

And the reason bots will never bubble other peoples bots is because they would be bubbling forever on an all bots team and never actually do any fighting. Passive leadership toggles don't take any time.

There was a time early in CoV that the robots would bubble each and every teammate and minion. It was not so much the bubbling time involved, but having a mastermind with 7 different protector bot bubbles in PvP was considered overpowered.

Imagine this, during development stage protector bots were given dispersion bubble. Now imagine an 8 robot mastermind team and you can see why that plan never made it out of beta.
