The Leech by itself is not overpowered. Neither is its ability. Okay, I'm less condifent on the second sentence but let me explain. The ability for Leech to drain a target's health is cool; no other robot in the game does this and it makes sense. However, the way the ability works is rather unfortunate. Since people will have...varying levels of intelligence, teammates uselessly shooting an active Leech is quite a problem(obviously since many of the comments mention that). I propose a change. Instead of the Leech hurting an enemy via its life link whenever its hurt, it should be like the opposite. Meaning that when the Leech links an opponent, the Leech(or other allies) should damage that targeted enemy and then the Leech gets some health back(proportionally to damage of course). I feel like this change will stop the issue of "friendly fire" while not making the ability overpowered. Please let me know what you think.
