I really wish people would listen to this but they don't. It's just kind of disappointing that they expect their suggestions to be implemented with the way things are now.
1. The reason why this bot is used the most is because it has a special which is just more damage. When a robot is arguably the main offensive tool on almost all focus builds people can't afford to have an 85%-damage special that puts their bot on cooldown. The only exceptions are the very notably strong robots which counter specific builds or are easy to use, such as Cyber Yeti. The other robots with 85% damage special abilities are pretty much entirely reserved for builds that don't run on focus or use their bot as their primary source of damage. Easy problem to fix, just reduce robot damage scaling with focus and increase the tech scaling for it. Make focus builds rely less on robots for their damage.
2. No. They're meant to drain energy and get just enough back to pose a threat and force a drain from the opponent. They are NOT a class that regenerates a lot of energy. That's what TLM and TM do.
3. Improving with tech is something to look at. But no to the 3 turn cooldown.
4. yes
5. Improve the drain instead. BM is designed to be a class that does not need to function off of a lot of energy to do well (although plasma cannon builds say otherwise and that completely invalidates the identity of the class).
