Sumo

It defeats Dirtbag with ease.

The Sumo never seems effective when compared to Jacks, but Jacks always look like they're OP because of their disproportionately small size.

It seems to have interesting mechanics but isn't really good at them. It could do with more damage, jump range, jump damage and jump aoe?

Will you not be happy with balance until people consider the unit for a rush? ;D

Way too little(none) aoe, micro-intensive and short-ranged for a proper riot. Also, still has hp of an assault and works better point-blank. It's an assault.

Sumo is extremely slow and doesn't have great DPS. Maybe reduce jump time and increase AoE/damage to make it more rioty?

The whole jumpfac would need a proper rethink in terms of role, i gather.

Pyro is a raider/riot, while the fac already has a raider in form of goo; so pyro has speed of raider with aoe of riot, and it is AT to boot.

Sumo is an assault/"riot" while there is already a proper assault in form of jack, and its riot part is quite imaginary. It is also a demi-superunit.

There is no proper riot at all. There is an imaginary one, and a raider.

The 'skirmisher' for the jumps can't actually do the skirm > assault because it's actually a support unit, so it needs, well, assaults to kill what it skirmishes. But maybe that's okay, because synergy.

How about we get a proper raider/riot/assault separation? Maybe bandits should not be a very effective counter to what thinks of itself as jumpfac riot unit 1(pyro), and glaives to be an efficient counter to the other "riot" (sumo)

>beeing aware that jumpie fac is a specialzed fac, i see no need to this as its specialzed and not generalized...
Then at the very least those Specialist units should not have their roles caller Riot, Raider, etc. Because they're Specialists, after all.

Also, what's so special about Sumo to call it a specialist? What's it so good at?

You forgot Puppy.

I hope sumo can bounce/roll since it have a sphere shape.

I'm improving the gun slightly and the Jump range, aoe and damage.
