Jammer

[based 1]

Is there any specific reason why the jammer effect doesn't take away the 50-100% double armor/damage boost from drones?

Well, to explain better on what I mean - every drone gives the player 50-100% double damage/armor boost when being used. For example, If I'm using brutus I don't get any extra boosts, but I always have 50-100% double damage/armor based on my upgrades. If the Jammer effect really does disable drones, then it should disable brutus (as in that 50-100% double damage/armor disabled).

Long story short, Jammer augments would pretty much act like AP/EMP augments if your expectation of it were reality. We already have enough ways to die quickly in the game. We do not need more.

Intricacies of Jammer against drone:

 

Jammer's effect on a drone is putting it on a forced cooldown equal to the duration of the application. E.g Jammer Hammer puts drones on a 3-second cooldown, Jammer Twins puts drones on a 1-second cooldown etc. "Disabling a drone" is the general statement used. 

There are Passive drones (Brutus, Hyperion, Crisis) and Non-passive drones (everything else). Non-passive drones get put on the forced cooldown. Passive drones are not affected by Jammer in this way.

Booster, Defender, Trickster - When Jammer is applied, their extra ((supply)) is removed and the drone is put on a cooldown. If in this cooldown period they happen to reactivate their respective supply, it will not gain the extra boost. 

Camper - When Jammer is applied and the Camper is still at full HP, it removes the extra damage and armour and puts the drone on a cooldown. Your extra armour/damage cannot be reobtained until the cooldown is completed. 

Crisis - Is a passive drone and cannot be put on an innate cooldown. Jammer applications temporarily block the extra ((supply)) until it is removed via a repair kit or the Jammer duration running out.

Because it is has its own special ability such as all other effects. Here are the abilities guns can put onto an enemy tank.

1. AP: An enemy loses their armor aka all all their props.

2. EMP: An enemy loses their supplies

3. Jammer: An enemy loses their ability to use overdrive for a certain amount of period

Hope that helps. The only way you can take away an enemies supplies is by using "EMP" Everything else is different. Hope this helps

Jammer: Yes, your enemy can't use their OverDrive, but also DISABLES DRONE : DAMAGE BOOST, SPEED BOOST, ARMOR BOOST.

Freeze: Slows down enemy tank but also just DISABLES DAMAGE BOOST.

 

There you go....

Best description of Jammer effect I have ever seen.
