in the case of shocktrain - I actually believe that it was a bad idea, and never should have been added. War robots is a multiplayer game, and it should be a simple fact that two bots have an advantage against one bot. Shocktrain makes this not entirely the case, and actively discourages close coordination, and makes you upset with your allies for getting careless/whatever, getting hit with a shocktrain and thus getting you hit by the bounce. It is bad for teamplay.

However, I do believe the shocktrain can be nerfed or adjusted in order to become balanced - I just will continue to dislike it, much as I dislike weapons which cause me pain. However - similarly to the spiral and hydra - just because you don't like it doesn't make it overpowered. In the case of the shocktrain - you can clearly see it dominate gameplay, which makes it overpowered. The hydra is merely difficult to overcome when used properly on specific maps - not overpowered.
